There is NO answer to this question. It is not worth the effor to try. Both smart. Both geniuses. Different times, different problems. No answer. Hurry, hide before Cyrus sees you!

Newton didn't really discover anything new as far as I know, he was really mathematician not physicist. All he did was apply Leibnitz's new mathematics of caculus to Galileo's 100 year old law of motion. Now Galileo's law of motion has mysteriously become renamed as Newton's first law...:uhh:
I think Newton didn't even fully understand Galileos laws until they were explained to him by Hooke (of Hookes Law and the universal joints). Also there's no reason to believe Newton was first to discover the inverse square law for gravity either, a number of people were dicussing the same at that time and Hooke actually took out a court case against Newton accusing him of plaigiarism.
Astronuc said:What is the point of such a question? And why do people worry about "who is/was the best?"
MeJennifer said:It seems that in General Discussion people just want to chat about all kind of things like cracking jokes, cute cats, disney, how much presidential candidate X is so much better than candidate Y etc.
I do not see a problem with that.
But now there is apparently an issue with this particular posting?
Einstein and Newton were both brilliant scientists who made significant contributions to the field of physics. It is difficult to determine who was more genius as they had different areas of expertise and made different types of groundbreaking discoveries.
Einstein is most famous for his theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space and time. He also developed the famous equation E=mc^2, which explains the relationship between mass and energy. Newton is known for his laws of motion and universal gravitation, which laid the foundation for classical mechanics.
Einstein's theory of relativity paved the way for modern physics and led to advancements in technology such as nuclear energy and GPS systems. Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation are still used today to understand motion and predict the movement of objects, making them fundamental to many areas of science and engineering.
Both Einstein and Newton have had a significant impact on future scientists and their work continues to inspire new discoveries. However, Einstein's theories have had a greater influence on modern physics and have led to further advancements in the field.
Both Einstein and Newton were brilliant scientists who made groundbreaking discoveries in physics. However, they had different approaches to their work; Newton relied on mathematical equations and experimentation, while Einstein relied more on thought experiments and theoretical models. They also had different areas of expertise, with Einstein focusing on theoretical physics and Newton on classical mechanics.
