It's a superficial comparison. Newton beats Einstein for one very important reason: he invented "science" inthe modern sense to justify what he was doing. Without Newton, or someone else going out on a philosophical limb the way Newton did, there would be NO "scientific method" in the modern sense because all that someone did would still be measured firstly by whether or not it fit the current standard theory. ------------------------ Yahoo!
