Albert Einstein contributed most to science.....albert einstein shook the world of science when he discovered the thoery of relativity and he can be said to be the father of modern science. He was able to accurately reveal how the universe behaves and it is work all scientists are living on todaay. |

Just when Einstein was abt to delve into the concept of TIME, the concept that separates Mortals from Immortals, he died. 1 Like |

elitebmb:This has to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. So you think the light from Thomas Edison bulb was what aided his invention ? If you want to go down this path, I would say Nicola Tesla inventions were even more useful than that of Thomas Edison. Anyways, in terms of weight of inventions relevant to this earth, you can't beat the following guys; 1 Isaac Newton (Universal Law of Gravity) 2. Daniel Bernoulli (Law of Hydrodynamic Pressure) 3. Michael Faraday (Law of Electromagnetic Induction) 4. Rudolf Clausius (Second Law of Thermodynamics) 5. Albert Einstein (Theory of Special Relativity) Special mention to Paul Dirac and Niel Bohr. 2 Likes 4 Shares |

This is the height of joblessness and idleness. Of what use is comparing their contribution to science? Why not think of ways to impact your generation and contribute to science yourself? @ the MOD who pushed this to the front page, you should be examined. What is the usefulness of this thread? #Receivesenseinthenameofwhateveryouworship! 1 Like |

Truth234:There is a difference. Galileo Galilee could not explain why all these phenomena are true. Einstein provided the ground breaking explanation to all the occurrences I mentioned. So it's safe to say it's Einsteins understanding of the concepts that revolutionalized our knowledge of the universe as we know it today. |
Re: Between Albert Einstein And Thomas Edison Who Contributed More To The World? by Truth234(m): 9:33am On Sep 03, 2016 |
Puvour: Not at all, he clearly explained the part I quoted (same acceleration), while simultaneously disproving Aristotle's theory of gravity. So Einsteins only further what has been established by his predecessor. And so did Isaac Newton. |
Re: Between Albert Einstein And Thomas Edison Who Contributed More To The World? by Puvour: 9:40am On Sep 03, 2016 |
Truth234:You didn't quote well. I didn't see the part you quoted so you should edit. Yes if it's just that part, it's true. I made that statement to state what we always knew before Einstein revolutionalized the thinking. Of course, all of Einsteins work were not purely his works, he simply built on the ideas of past scientists like Newton and Galileo. Isn't that what science is about? |

Our nigerians people like to follow follow. All d science students are just shouting Albert Einstein is d best scientist. Pls how many inventions have u people invent through all his theories in Nigeria. And tell me how many things our nigerians have produced through Thomas Edison invention. Do u all know most of d appliances we all use at home,schools, offices and elsewhere are d product of Thomas Edison. Albert Einstein was a great scientist but most of his theories are not made use here in Nigeria and I can live without his theories but difficult to live without Thomas Edison invention. 2 Likes |

That Albert Einstein formula E = mc^2.... and his uncertainty theory Brother nor compare o...... them nor be mate Wen Arico femi the man who harness the atomic energy was been given Nobel prize.... he said he is number2 but number 1 is Albert Einstein. .

tdayof: Your post was making sense (even though it was written out of great sentimentality) until i read that quote up there. Which is not what Q.entanglement stands for, but W/E. Also Edison was a great man, despite his attitude he revolutionized technology during his own time when theories about physics where scares and also he applied most of the theory into practice, he was practically an inventor/businessman,that last bit must have made him what he was ( arrogant) but never the less no one can dispute that if there was an Edison of this era he will probably try to put together alot of theories in other to invent revolutionary device. Edison was not a scientist like Albert.E but he did make the most of what he had and i don't even know why dumbass Op will compare the two of them in the first place. Its like comparing an engineer with a business man. It will be fair to compare a scientist to another scientist because to me Thomas edison was more ahead of Albert.E in terms of invention while Albert was greater than Edison in terms of theories, 5 Likes |

Einstein is obviously more brilliant, but Edison's contributions are more useful to humanity. Its difficult to survive without the latter's inventions, but we will live fine without the former's theories... 1 Like |

I'll go with the poster above me. @Chrisrare. Also Einstein Special Theory of Relativity was instrumental in facilitating the development of the Atomic Bomb. "In 1905, as part of his Special Theory of Relativity, he made the intriguing point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light squared). The atomic bomb would clearly illustrate this principle. " See Albert Einstein and The Atomic Bomb http://www.doug-long.com/einstein.htm The light bulb is still in my room. |

tdayof: Well articulated! You've got to marvel at Einsteins perception, and how he effortlessly breaks things down. He was sure one of a kind; Tesla too. My fascination is, bending of space/time for travel . . . we will get there, maybe in a million years. #wormholes I watched one video about the 'Bermuda triangle' and the 'wormhole' angle, have you seen it? |

I'd say both men are great and shdt really be compared! I'l liken dis kind of comparison 2 giving a good food and drink 2 a starving man in the desert and giving a v necessary shot of antibiotics to a man wit life threathening infection,... U can't say one is more useful to the other wen comparing both cases. Edison gave the world a breathtaking array of inventions,...while einstein gave the world a whole array of solutions! 5 Likes |

After 100 years on, Gravitational waves confirmed in Breakthrough Research. It was Albert Einstein who propounded gravitational waves. Gravitational waves propagation makes it possible for us to send and receive radio signals, radar signals, television signals and even make call and receive calls. Gravitational waves propagation will make it possible for objects to suspend in the vacuum or air without hitting the earth. it has the potential to transmit and receive sound and light signals. If gravity can be manipulated, think of all the possibilities like levitation, flying with little energy to take off, space travel, deep sea exploration. Kudos to Albert Einstein the great. Einstein was ahead of his generation. Einstein is greater than Thomas Edison. |
