Einstein or Newton

[Chaboo_Cleric]

Your fav?

Mine would have to be Newton.

[Nihilist_santa]

+1 Newton.

[Chaboo_Cleric]

Listing some accomplishments for both these fellas:


Einstein :
1) provided empirical evidence for the atomic theory
2) He enabled the determination of Avogadro’s number and therefore the size of molecules
3) Einstein solved the riddle of the photoelectric effect
4) He proposed the special theory of relativity
5) Einstein came up with the concept of rest energy through his famous equation E=MC squared
6) He proposed the general theory of relativity
7) He collaborated with Bose to predict the existence of Bose–Einstein condensate
8) His debates with Niels Bohr brought quantum mechanics in focus
9) Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921
10) He fucked his cousin and was a shagster

Einstein was a warmonger. +1 Newton.

Newton:

1) Newton’s three laws of motion laid the foundation of classical mechanics
2) He was the first to formulate the notion of gravity as a universal force
3) Newton’s Principia is one of the most important works in the history of science
4) He discovered the generalised binomial theorem in 1665
5) Isaac Newton invented calculus (Also Leibniz , who Newton accused of stealing)
6) He invented the first reflecting telescope
7) Determined that white light was a mix of colors which can be separated into its component parts with a prism.
8) He identified light as the source of color sensation
9) He inferred correctly the oblateness of Earth’s spheroidal figure
10) Without Newton , there would be no Einstein> Case Point

Einstein might win if you give him credit for Lorentz's work, i mean relativity is monster enough that if you hold it up as one man's achievement it might trump Newton, but Newton wins for pure renaissance man divine inspiration.

Perhaps , but if we were doing that. One might consider Maxwell superior.

didnt know this one, elaborate?

During his explanation of Brownian motion, Einstein determined the size of atoms, and how many atoms there are in a mole. He enabled the experimental determination of Avogadro’s number and therefore the size of molecules. Einstein’s statistical discussion of atomic behavior gave experimentalists a way to count atoms by looking through an ordinary microscope.

No one for Einstein...? Interesting....
