Who is More Important for Physics: Newton or Einstein?

[Lisa!]

I don't know about you guys, but I think if Newton and Einstein got in a bar fight, Newton would totally have won. I mean, it's so easy to pound on a pacifist.

well, I don't know why I think we'd have trouble to realize who's the winner!(considering modern physics)

did anyone see this movie

"E=mc2 Einstein and the world's most famous equation"

this movie starts with Faraday and finishes at Einstein,,showing that the base was laid by these guys..

Where? Do you have a quote or referance?

Also, Einstein proved that the normal equations does not work when dealing with high speeds.

I like pie.

Mmmmm pie...
I like $\pi$ too..

Hooke pwns them both.

Fear the Hooke

Also, Einstein proved that the normal equations does not work when dealing with high speeds.

Right as from your link "(Newton) admitted he could only describe it without understanding how it worked."

The idea that "normal equations" require 'instant' gravity is a modern requirement, that Newton never claimed.

As to that three way bar fight Hooke & Newton are in trouble if the pacifist brings his nuke.
