Who do you think is/was the greatest physicist of all times?

I think it is Albert Einstein... Einstein stated The Theory of Relativity, breaking down Isaac Newton's The laws of Three Motions and Theory of Gravitation, demonstrated that Newton's theories were only partially right. What is more, scientists believe that there will need more than 200 years for another "Einstein" be born in this world to help the innovation of Physics. Current Mathematics is not adequate for solving Physical problems any more.

Albert Einstein.  There are so many mysteries in the world, and I feel it would be fantastic to be able to solve some and come up with theories for others as well as Einstein.  (I love puzzles and mysteries, so in a small way I do know the feeling, but it would be amazing to do so in a large scale).

Isaac Newton was the greatest English mathematician of his generation. \nHe laid the foundation for differential and integral calculus.\nHis work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known\n\nI also feel he made a step towards the understanding the workings of Karma as one of his laws of physic states. \n-- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. --\n\nIts all food for thought.

Richard Feynman was the greatest physics teacher ever, whereas Einstein was brilliant - he wasn't the best of teachers.\n\nPS Many of Feynman’s lectures are available on audio book and video.  Check them out at your local library or online at Amazon.com

Ben Franklin.  Ahead of his time, creative in multiple fields from science to diplomacy, apparently a great conversationalist.\n\nThis is a fairly common question, but a great one nonetheless when the person can be dead or alive. Another version of the question asks you to name 3 people, dead or alive, who can come from different historic times.  Would be fun to pair up Franklin with Da Vinci, for example.  Hard for me to choose the 3rd one, though.  If I had to choose, I'd also invite Shakespeare, but there are many others.

Most definitely a SCIENTIST!!  Sacred Geometry! the Golden Mean! 12 around 1!!  He is truly the Divine Architect!!!

Stephen Hawking, who made significant discoveries in Cosmology, specifically related to black holes, the history of the universe, the theory of relativity, and the "theory of everything."

I don't know about the biggest, but hands down, the best is D.B. Cooper.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D.B._Cooper

I'm assuming you mean Einstein, but I would have to go with Newton. He invented calculus and was absolutely revolutionary in developing elementary physics. Now, obviously Einstein was brilliant too, but at least he had a long background of physicists to build on. He stood on the shoulders of giants, one of which is newton.

I think the scientists who made the greatest contribution of all time was Alexander Gram Bell even though he was not really scientists and more like a inventor. His invention the telephone is what now makes the world go round. The telephone lead to the internet, and being able to send mass amounts of information.

I juz think hes awesome. Go Einstein.

Louise Cyr according to some sources is considered the greatest strongman of all time. \n\nhe passed away some years back but his feats of strength were trully ledgendary.

Nikitha Krushchev\n\nIn an unbiased view he was the best

Impossible to compare. Both were the preeminent scientists of their generations. Einstein certainly knew a lot More, but he had the advantage of having Newton & many others shoulders to stand on.
