Hector09:
Sir isaac newton we always be the best

ur reasons?

Einstein has been accused of so many things but still like that man.. Too smart!

Getting Dry

k

Who send them work??

I laugh when people say Isaac Newton is the father of this and that, the truth is all the work of a scientist always depend on the work done by previous ones they only modified it and make it work better. so in conclusion, if Newton is a computer Einstein is a supper computer

Newton worked on universal gravitation (gravity), Newton developed the three laws of motion

which form the basic principles of modern physics. His discovery of calculus led the way to more powerful methods of solving mathematical problems.
Automobile makers learnt about fiction from him and it effects on breaking pads.

Albert Einstein worked on General Theory of Relativity and the concept of mass-energy equivalence expressed by the famous equation, E = mc2.

He is important but he is the chief creator of atomic bombs.
I'll pick Newton blc he contributed immensely to humanity, Eistein did too, but his works comes with destruction.

Only because Einstein had the technological advantage that newton didn’t have in his time..bar that Newton is touted as the greatest genius in modern history and one of the highest IQ in history..

If you look properly at the thread you would find out the timeline of how intellectual decay started on nairaland. saner posts in 2016. useless folks at the moment typing rubbish.

'Who is greater?' Are they still living?

prahcetomi:
Those two guys can't make heaven....they are the cause of my struggles in physics and maths.

Choi, Laf wan kii me! First I thought it's NwaAmaikpe, then I realized he doesn't comment on scientific threads. Lolz.

newton's laws are somehow stupid, einstein's were beyond the thinking faculty of geniuses but the greatest of all scientists is galileo

mightyhazell:
whoz d guy on suit?

Thats richard feymann

Budex40:


Thats richard feymann

thx..

let me now run a check on him

'for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction', who was that again?

Einstein

Elxandre:


I say Newton though.
He was more influential, both in math and physics.
He's a founding master of Calculus, and his laws in physics are some of the basic founding principles.

Einstein has even been accused of plagiarism sef.
It's claimed he stole others ideas, and 'explained' them better.
I had always wondered how he could achieve so much without being an incredible mathematician. (His wife reportedly helped him sometimes in mathematical aspects of his researches).

You sir , are very correct. Enstine's wife was really smart. And newtons principles are pretty much the back bone of how we see the world today .

But Enstine had something most academicians today lack, and thats a very powerful understanding of principles even beyond his teachers and a strong level of imagination .

Which is why I love one of his quotes "imagination is greater than knowlege"

SmartThief:
well, this question has been in my head for some time now and i have not gotten the right answer yet. Hope the great intellects here can help me out. I wouldnt want to compare them based on my opinion alone. The unquenchable and infinite wisdom of Newton tabled with an immeasurable and boundless thoughts of Einstein...is definitely two gargantuan psunami on an head-on collision!...what do you think?

Why is it so hard for you to just appreciate their work and not compare them?

And Buhari

There is none greater. They are both great. Newton was one of the pioneer's of Calculus (Very hard maths at the time) Einstein was also one of the pioneer's of Quantum Mechanics (which also has extremely difficult mathematics in it)

They both laid solid ground work in Physics that will be built upon for years to come.

Chai, Nairaland since last year this is just getting to front page, if it is Wizkid and Olamide, it would have been on front-page countless number of times....We value irrelevances in this part of the world

Newton of course. The man with the fundamentals in which others build upon

As for me Einstein but the discovery of electricity was the greatest of all time

Newton

What goes up must come down: Newton

Gravitational law: Newton

Newton was a mathematical genius but his works also were influenced by older works, Newton was particularly influenced well enough by Joahannes Kepler

darkhorizon:
Newton is a boss in classical physics,Einstein is a boss in modern physics. Moreover,Einstein extended newtonian mechanics to form the special relativity. It was found by Einstein that Newton's law began to fail,when used to describe objects approaching the speed of light,hence the need for a new paradigm. So it depends on you,as to who is better

In terms of intellect, Newton has it..

nickz:
I'm sick and tired of people comparing anyone to Einstein,yesterday I saw a thread with comparison to Pythagoras
please go and research that mans works
very soon now una go dey compare am to john Nash

Anyone comparing Einstein to Pythagoras is an idiot

No it doesn't. Nuclear reactors can also be an incredibly efficient means of energy (power) creation

Newton is regarded the greatest genius in history
