Who Was Smarter? Newton Or Einstein?

[michelloenneberger]

Einstein said at some point in time when asked about his success, he stands on the shoulder of giants, and with that he meant Galilei and Newton

[ahalalexjohn]

In almost same incidents of falling of objects, Einstein found the reason behind it. Newton only found the calculations of such fall and movement and made equations based on those calculations. Newton was human but Einstein's imaginations were beyond humans thought

Sir Newton is the source of all my problems🙂🙂

[ben_clifford]

The Renaissance was well under way when Newton was born. They're both certified geniuses, but let's not pretend like Newton just popped out of the ground and created modern science.

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

-Newton

Nobody "DISCOVERED" gravity!!! Newton described it mathematically and Einstein explained it and proved his explanation. I don't think its logical or fair to compare the two.
Neither stands alone.

[ImKinoNichtSabbeln]

When being a noblelism fetichist you should get your act clear:
1) Einstein was not knighted, so no "Sir"
2) ... but if, the correct adddressing of/referring to him would be "Sir Albert" not "Sir Einstein".
Permanent pledges of allegiance obviously twists minds.

PS: The correct pronounciation of his last name is "Einsh-tein", for it's a German name, but he wasn't from the Hamburg region.

At their level of intelligence, it really doesn't make sense to try to compare.

Einstein is smarter but newton created the way modern humans look at math and such both very crucial can’t forget about Goethe

[etunimisukunimi]

Sir Isaac Newton hands down.
Not even a contest.

[brucecombs]

Had they been contemporaries, they could have made one hell of a team!

[sistersworld]

newton Einstein there are two smarter but I Einstein is now about the world

[venkat]

Einstein is not possible without Newton and Maxwell 😅

[innosanto]

They were different, Newton was more mathematical Einstein more intuitive. These two should not be compared. Hard to say anyone as greater than any of the two

[jeancarlofley]

Newton did not exactly invented calculus, he creathed the theory of fluxions but the calculus that we use nowadays comes from Leibnitz, which is better in every sense than fluxions

[custodioarmindogungulo]

Not to include that Einstein, kind of depended on Newton in many of his approaches.

[rustymason]

Einstein also plagiarized most of his work, so there's also that.

[frankdimeglio]

Sir Frank Martin DiMeglio has surpassed Newton and Einstein.

[nadmey]

I did not Einstein got a knighthood. Is it a new theory?

[rubensf]

“Invented calculus”
You pissed off a lot of math nerds with that one
