Color me cynical, but I think einstein was overhyped..Pythagoras was a greater mathematical genius and as far as geniuses go, Einstein pales in comparison to people like Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci to mention a few.

obonujoker:
Who actually deserves this more??

Einstein or Pythagoras... Science students should know better, and why is the one deserving of it??

Jokerman:
I give it to Pythagoras... he was the first to use C... Einstein should have used another letter.... Moreover Pythagoras laid a foundation to many analytical problems with his theorem.....

tayebest:
I'll rather give it to Pythagoras.



Einstein formula is too sophisticated, like how it was use to discover bomb which America and other countries with all terrorist use to destroy humanity!

Clearly Pythagoras.

First Pythagoras did his work about 2,500 years before Einstein. A time when only very few people could read. No real universities or professors to learn from.

Pythagoras did massive work in planetary science (stars, Venus), proportions, music tuning, solids and the fact that the earth is a sphere, a fact that took another over 2, 000 years later for others to realise/accept. He had massive influence on Gauss, Newton, Kepler, Copernicus and others that later went on to inspire Einstein.

He was also one of the best philosophers ever.

salford1:

He is not overhyped. He is a super genius like Isaac Newton. You only get people like them maybe once in every 500 years.

Enice:
I give it to Pythagoras. The 3,4,5 square system is used in all engineering. Civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical and other engineering. While Einstein's e=mc2 is mainly used in energy relate challenges.

My dear E =mc2 is the most powerful mathematical postulation ever. It changed the complexity of Modern Warfare forever

Earthbound:
I'm not overly religious but where does Einstein's theory place God?

oglalasioux:
C2 is not same in both mathematical expressions. For pythagoras it's a proof of expression of shapes while for Einstein's equation C stands for speed or celeritas in Latin.

As for me though, I will give it to Einstein, coz I hate bald headed people...
And the bald headed man, is wearing a kaftan like Buhari, so I feel Einstein will do a better job...

So I give it to Einstein...

Lol.. I m not a science student o...

musicwriter:
Neither of them invented it.

Einstein was influenced by Isaac Newton.

Newton was influenced by Pythagoras.

Pythagoras himself was influenced by Imhotep, the world's first multi-genius who lived here in Africa. Imhotep lived during the reign of pharaoh Djoser (2686 BC - 2649 BC) and he was the one that developed the a2+b2 formula when he was building the step pyramid. The formula was later perfected by Pharaoh Kufour, who used it to build the perfect pyramid at Giza. All this happened over 2,000 years before Pythagoras was born. Indeed, Pythagoras learned mathematics, music, and geometry here in Africa where he came to school.

Your schools would never tell you this in the western controlled indoctrination called education.

Imhotep, the world's first scientist.

drkay:
I will give it to Albert Eintein.
That formular has done a lot of scientific miracle and has helped in series of inventions. Aside of contributing to the body of knowlege, I have not been able to figure out the usefulness of that pythagoras formular. Maybe because i am not a mathematician.

I believe he regretted what his discoveries came to be used for, and not the scientific discoveries themselves.

Science is neither 'good' nor 'bad'. Science is not morality.

It's like facts. A banana is a fruit. That statement is neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative.

Special relativity was a modern breakthrough which came to have far reaching applications such as in nuclear fission, in nuclear reactors in power plants.

While it is accurate that special relativity created a relatively new breed of powerful weapons, it also fostered insight into fusion and illumination of the Geophysical characteristics of the earth.

You may have read or heard about vital anti cancer drugs like cyclophosphamide used in Breast Cancer or Multiple Myeloma. That would be considered a 'good' development, I'd bet.

However you may not know that during World War II, Nitrogen Mustard gas was discovered and developed subsequently into blistering chemical agents used till this day with devastating effect in chemical warfare.

Cyclophosphamide is a Nitrogen Mustard.

Would you then consider it 'good' or 'bad?

Pepper spray is a powerful personal protection tool.

But did you know that the primary inventor has severally mentioned his regret that it is often used by draconian regimes to curb public protests?

Does that then make Pepper Spray good or bad?

Science is an Objective process. The applications of that scientific process is where morality lies therein.
