Your question was: "Who was Einstein's favorite physicist?"

You told us that it "just occurred" to you to wonder about this. Now it's homework? So firstly, your premise was essentially a fabrication, and even if we put that aside you're asking us to answer a question that is fundamentally unanswerable by anyone except Einstein!

I suspect the goal of your homework was for you to give some critical thought to the problem and devise a reason why a particular physicist might have influenced or even inspired Einstein to perform the work he did. Now it's a question of your own imagination!

You are asking us to imagine what you might think a dead scientist's favorite scientist would be.

And you're getting on our cases for being silly?
