Who is better, Einstein or Newton? Why?
536189
Sir Isaac Newton is better.  Einstein himself said that he was  standing on the shoulders of giants -- so his work was based on Newton's... but Newton was so long ago, and what giants did he have available to him?\n\nNewton did not have the state school system and modern era advantages available to Einstein.  Newton had a disadvantaged and sickly childhood in a disadvantaged and sickly time -- quite unlike Einstein... yet look at what he managed to produce!  The sheer range of scientific enquiry borne inside Newton's mind.  Isaac thought things up, as opposed to joining up theories or extrapolating the work of others (those 'giants').\n\nNewton is better too in that his work is in daily use by quite normal people, of the two, Newton's work has had the biggest everyday impact -- telescopes, periscopes, microscopes, spectacles, rainbows and colour theories (and the impact on paint, art and interior design!) through to calculating trends, rates of change, acceleration due to gravity, impetus, momentum and the laws of motion...\n\nWe can quite easily live without Einstein's work, but life would be REALLY awful without Newton and his legacy.

SIR elbert einsten because he is the great scietist of history. his theory of relativity is very exellent . when this world lost after some lack year then then this theory help us because in the future scientist go on new world in the space.these all thing posible when einstien theory says\nthat  for example a man  (age=18)who live on earth and one who(age=18) which goes in the universe with the speed of light after 50 years the age of man which who live on earth his age 65 year. and one which goes in the universe with speed of light his age is 35 years. tell me which scientist is genius.

I would tend to think it was a combination of his mathematical work (Calculus) and observation of the physical world.  If you ever look at his equations, they conform so well to elementary calculus, it shows how well he used what he developed mathematically to predict the world around him.  Most of his equations (if not all of them) could be developed for 1 dimension with a watch of some kind, and an some similar objects to drop, and a method to measure the height you are dropping them.  He could then very readily combine this with the calculus tools he was developing to create a very robust theory.  \n\nBy using a spring he could show how force influenced items of varying weights, therefore determining F=m*a.  \n\nThe primary insight Newton had was that gravity is a force.  This insight allowed him to realize that force is what causes all bjects to accelerate, and that gravity did so uniformly.  By knowing that all objects fall to earth at the same speed, he could realize that the force of gravity is related to the mass, which leads to the universal law of gravity.

Newton actually is the first to come up with the law of universal gravity, g*m(1)*m(2)/(d)squared.  So he's the first to measure gravity as a force, but Galileo is the first in western culture to measure it as an acceleration and conclude it was a constant.

With the way people argue -- just flip a coin.\n\nI for one am a big fan of science.  If I wanted to fall asleep or read a lot of little fairytales, I'd read the bible.\n\nAnd just because Einstein believed that there was design by intelligence, doesn't mean it's correct.  Like all men, he was fallible too.

I don't know the IQ of Newton.  No one does -- since he died before the IQ test was invented.\n\nHowever, I know that he was smarter than I am (at least when he was young -- he suffered from Mercury Poisoning later in life).  Therefore, I can put a lower bound on his IQ.\n\nThe average PhD has an IQ of 140.  I suspect that his was much higher.

Einstein's brain lacked a particular small wrinkle (the parietal operculum) that most people have. Perhaps in compensation, other regions on each side were a bit enlarged—the inferior parietal lobes. These regions are known to have something to do with visual imagery and mathematical thinking. Thus Einstein was apparently better equipped than most people for a certain type of thinking.\n\nThe website below has more details.

Simple..\n\nU know why Einstein is so-called the most genius man in the world.\nEveryone who didn't study modern physic would say. the famous equation E=mc^2 bought his fame. No Einstein is genius becoz of his work on relativity.\nOne of the postulates made by the Einstein is that gravitational force is the curvature of space-time. U probably don't realize the importance of that statement. \n\nBut here i want to stress on the word space-time. Before Einstein, every scientists treat space and time as 2 separate distinct. But Einstein is genius enough to find that space and time as single entity. \n\nthe universe is all about energy and gravitational force.\nPeople says the universe start when a dense material exploded. Thus the universe was born. Remember to treat space-time as single thing. So, when universe was born, so the space and time was expanded and run. when there is no time, there is no space. so when the universe perish, the time also disappears and so the space...\nBcoz there is no mass, lead to no gravitational force and lead to no space and time.\n\n\nSo, God is really Almighty. there is no start and there is no end to Him

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

Despite this renown in mainstream science, Newton spent more time working on either alchemy or chemistry, than physics.\n\nNewton played a major role in the history of calculus, sharing credit with Gottfried Leibniz. He also made contributions to other areas of mathematics, for example the generalized binomial theorem. The mathematician and mathematical physicist Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736–1813), said that "Newton was the greatest genius that ever existed and the most fortunate, for we cannot find more than once a system of the world to establish." 20\n \n\n\nBiography\nEarly years\nThe life of Isaac Newton Early life Writing Principia Later life Religious views Occult studies  \nNewton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth (at Woolsthorpe Manor), a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire. Newton was born prematurely, and no one expected him to live; indeed, his mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, is reported to have said that his body at that time could have fit inside a quart mug (Bell, 1937). His father, Isaac, had died three months before Newton's birth. When Newton was two, his mother went to live with her new husband, leaving her son in the care of his grandmother.\n\nAccording to E.T. Bell (1937, Simon and Schuster) and H. Eves:\n\nNewton began his schooling in the village schools and was later sent to The Kings Grammar School (Grantham) where he became the top boy in the school. At Kings he lodged with the local apothecary, William Clarke and eventually became engaged to the apothecary's stepdaughter, Anne Storer, before he went off to Cambridge University at the age of 19. As Newton became engrossed in his studies, the romance cooled and Miss Storer married someone else. It is said he kept a warm memory of this love, but Newton had no other recorded 'sweethearts' and never married. \nHowever, William Stukeley and Mrs Vincent, the source which Bell and Eves have embroidered so unhelpfully, merely say that Newton entertained 'a passion' for her while he lodged at the Clarke house. Mrs Vincent's maiden name was Katherine Storer, not Anne.\n\n \nEngraving after Enoch Seeman's 1726 portrait of NewtonFrom the age of about twelve until he was seventeen, Newton was educated at The King's School in Grantham (where his signature can still be seen upon a library window sill). He was removed from school and by Oct 1659 he was to be found at Woolsthorpe where his mother attempted to make a farmer of him. He was, by later reports of his contemporaries, thoroughly unhappy with the work. It appears to be Henry Stokes, master at the Ki

Newtonian Mechanics.\n\nI don't know why people are giving all the credits to Newton for Calculus, when in fact he and Liebniz merely collected all the works of previous mathematicians, combined it with their own works, and compiled it independently.

Not to beat a dead horse, but it's Edward Witten.  The reason why though is because he was able to unify the several flavors of string theory into, one mathematically stable, unifying theory.  It suggests some pretty "out there" ideas, and its called M Theory.\n\nAlso, I noticed that somebody suggested that it took several scientists to match the power of Einstein's intellect.  However, Einstein did very little to establish laws for the very small, which was governed by Quantum Mechanics, a theory that he very much disliked.  Yet Quantum Mechanics has accurately described the very small for years over years.  So I wouldn't call Einstein irreplaceable.
