Who was greater (in your opinion), Einstein or Newton? and Why?

Not so fast. Newton was published in the Journal of the Royal Society at a young age, and that was the height. There was no superior science journal in existence. He went on to become president of that society in his later years, which made him, in effect, the King of Science. There wasn't a higher credential to be had at the time.Czcibor said:Maybe we should get inspired by my gov way of grading science and check who of them published in more presitigious journals or get more citations?
Googling: seems Einstein.
Maybe to understand who had more donations to science community. There should be one who is more preferred.micromass said:What is this desire to rank people. I never got it. Why do you care which one is greater.
Hmmm... I can't myself if I don't know the truth.Just read their work and enjoy the physics.

That is the point of the OP as he is looking for us to explain and vote. We talk about Einstein and Newton, not you individually. Why do you sound upset ?micromass said:Why? Why should there be one?
Truths about both of them, related historical events, their inventions and more.What truth?

Both Einstein and Newton had a significant impact on the development of science. Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation laid the foundation for classical mechanics, while Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space and time. It is difficult to determine which one had a greater impact as they both made groundbreaking contributions to the field of science.
It is impossible to determine who was more intelligent as intelligence is a complex and multifaceted concept. Both Einstein and Newton were brilliant scientists who made groundbreaking discoveries in their respective fields. It is unfair to compare their intelligence as they both had unique strengths and contributions to science.
Einstein and Newton had different understandings of the universe. Newton's laws of motion and gravitation explained the behavior of objects on a macroscopic scale, while Einstein's theory of relativity described the behavior of objects on a microscopic scale and their relationship to space and time. Both theories are essential for our understanding of the universe, and it is difficult to determine who had a better understanding.
Both Einstein and Newton were exceptional mathematicians. Newton developed the mathematical principles of calculus, which is still widely used in physics and engineering today. Einstein also made significant contributions to mathematics, including the development of the field equations of general relativity. It is challenging to determine who was a better mathematician as they both had different areas of expertise.
Einstein and Newton were both highly influential in their respective fields and beyond. Newton's laws of motion and gravitation formed the basis of classical mechanics and influenced scientific thought for centuries. Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of the universe and has had a significant impact on fields such as physics, astronomy, and cosmology. It is difficult to determine who was more influential as their contributions continue to shape our understanding of the world.
