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?

In the western Paradigm they gave it to Einstein, however, it should have been Newton since he laid the foundation for what Einstein studied. They were no TVs or radios when Newton lived, so his popularity was limited to those in academia at that time. Einstein's popularity came as a result of the history of his discovery which attracted media attention even before his theory was proved. He became popular because the media were interested in his invention.

However, these two people being celebrated as the originators of these ideas aren't true. A lot of books had been stolen from ancient Egyptian libraries during the first invasion of Africa by Greece, Rome and many others. Those books were taken back to Europe where they began to study the ''Egyptian mystery system''. Geometry, mathematics, physics, were already an advanced science thousands of years before Newton or Einstein. Example; you cannot build the great pyramid in Egypt without a knowledge of advanced geometry, physics, mathematics. As evidence above, the Europeans called the ancient knowledge of the Egyptians a ''mystery'' because such knowledge was alien in Europe. In fact, Isaac Newton said he was a descendant of an African Sesostris (black Egyptian pharaoh of the Senusret dynasty), and that's because he studied their works.

Ronaldo and messi are better than them, all they did was bring formulas to help us fail physics. You think we would have failed if physics was just to kick and score? You cant even use projectiles on a field only on books, who doess that

ISAAC NEWTON is greater and had more impact on Science in his era.

Not only was Newton a genius in physics, he was also a genius in mathematics, optics. He even extended his genius into politics and the judiciary.

Einstein was a genius, no doubt. But his popularity was overblown because of the emergence of mass media in his era. He became the poster-man for Science in an era soon after WW1 when Europeans were looking for inspiration. In Einstein's time, there were lots of brilliant scientists who were making huge impacts in Science, but the public barely acknowledged them because the media focused mainly on Einstein.

I saw a dope answer on Quora just now https://www.quora.com/Who-was-smarter-Einstein-or-Newton

If you pushed me, I would tentatively vote for Newton - but if you asked who the two most revolutionary geniuses were, I would hardly hesitate to suggest both these men.
Einstein was history’s pre-eminent ideas man; Newton was history’s pre-eminent problem-solver.

Newton is far more greater and superior to Einstein. He laid the foundation of science at the time when young adults don't go to school but rather sit together and exchange ideas.

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. grin
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).

I'm sorry to say but these two scientists are from different times so its kind of retàrdèd to compare them. Without the things discovered by Isaac Newton, there would be no foundation for Einstein to build on. Its like comparing Bobby Fischer, or, better still Alexander Alekhine to Magnus Carlsen. Doesn't really make sense.

I think Albert Einstein discovery carries more weight and its relevance in modern science can't be ignored. One thing that marveled me about his theory is the manner in which he arrived at it. He applied the theoretical approach to deduct formulas and hypothesis that when you carry out the practical analyses its found almost to be true. Albert has an unmatched skill for observation.

The mere fact that Newton did his stuff a whole three centuries before Einstein (in an Era with no modern media) is more than enough to conclude the debate in favor of Newton.

It's very difficult to say. They both lived at different times and they both changed their world. I think in terms of intellect, Sir Isaac Newton has an edge.

The fact that you invented a car doesn't in any way diminish the genius of the man who invented steel,for without the laying of the foundations by these giants your car would never have come to fulfilment.
Comparison between Newton and Einstein is an honour to Einstein,even Einstein himself would have been the first to acknowledge that..

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..
Einstein work is not based on advanced tech. Newton work is only applicable in the micro scene I.e within the earth whilst Einstein work is applicable in the macro scene asin universally. Einstein is famous for his thought experiments must of his postulation is only been confirmed with the aid of advance tech.if Newton is regarded as a computer, then Einstein should be regarded as a super computer
