Einstein Or Newton

Einstein vs Newton, Who was greatest hero of the time and physics.

  • Born: March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany

  • Famous for: The Theory of Relativity — revolutionized physics by showing how space and time are connected.

  • Most famous equation: E = mc², proving that energy and mass are interchangeable.

  • Nobel Prize: Won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for explaining the photoelectric effect, not relativity.

  • Changed time itself: Showed that time is not absolute — it slows down when you move faster or near strong gravity.

  • Quantum contributions: One of the founders of quantum theory, though he doubted it, famously saying “God does not play dice.”

  • Political stance: A pacifist and humanitarian, he opposed war and supported civil rights.

  • Moved to the USA: In 1933, fled Nazi Germany and took a position at Princeton University.

  • Impact on modern science: His theories are essential for GPS systems, nuclear energy, and modern cosmology.

  • Died: April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey — his brain was preserved for study (controversially).

EINSTEIN

NEWTON

  • Born: January 4, 1643 (Woolsthorpe, England)

  • Famous for: The Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation, forming the basis of classical physics.

  • Apple story: Inspired to think about gravity after seeing an apple fall from a tree — the story is partly symbolic, not literal.

  • Published masterpiece: “Principia Mathematica” (1687) — described motion, gravity, and calculus foundations.

  • Invented calculus: Developed calculus (independently from Leibniz) to explain motion and change.

  • Discovered light spectrum: Used a prism to show that white light splits into colors, founding optics.

  • Religious and mystical side: Studied alchemy and theology as much as physics; wrote more about the Bible than science.

  • First scientific knighthood: Became Sir Isaac Newton in 1705 — one of the first scientists to be knighted.

  • Career outside science: Served as Master of the Royal Mint, reforming England’s currency and pursuing counterfeiters.

  • Died: March 31, 1727 (London) — buried in Westminster Abbey, among Britain’s greatest minds.
