Hi friends,
who do you think is the greatest scientist of all time? Albert Einstein or Sir Isaac Newton? The royal society of Britain is doing a poll to determine who people think is greater between these two. lets see how Nepalese think on this.

For me, I would go for Einstein. Because, although Newton did what he did 3 centuries ago, Einstein's was a much difficult deduction.
Saying that, Einstein got the breathing air because Newton achieved so many things from scratch. So what do you reckon-Einstein or Newton?

Here's the link to vote:

why do we always have to assign the number one position to something or someone? why does someone always have to be considered the best? einstein and newton along with fermi, heisenberg, plank, gauss, etc etc all contributed to the advancement of knowledge. when i was in 6th grade, my friends were preoccupied with which was the BEST CAR. ask your mom/dad who their favorite child is. there is no best always. people and things are DIFFERENT. we would not have been where we are without either newton or einstein.

Tell you what, let's base the competition on "which theory has the fewest, smallest gaps", OK? Like, a few fossils we haven't found yet, versus a theory which blindly states in the face of all the available evidence that the entire universe is less than 12,000 years old, and relies on a god that is missing, presumed questionable.

Nope, still sticking with evolution here. :D

Agreed on Mr. Singh's opinion.

Yo Biology ra Physisc ko compare garera Naya sub nikalana lagya ho ki k ho?? SLC belama Khub tension dyaa thyo tyo Newton le K K patta lagaayera..Yo Mora Einstein ko E=MC2 bhanen padhe pughtyo...Lu ja ta malai pani Einstein nai ramro..:D...hehehehehe

For their time, both are best. If I have to really give a vote- I will go for Newton. Becasue he is the first one to find there exists fact in science which can be governed by law. Einstein simply found some law - following of Newton's path science fact.

Some how we deviated from Einstein to Newton.

Einstein's is famous for his formula of E=mc2 so maybe
Team Energy Bars

He is also know for helping develope the Atom bomb.

I tend to agree with Zalim, but based upon the weight of the theories which the two scientists developed, it will be unfair not to vote for Einstein over Newton.

For normal speed of particles, the difference between Newton's laws of motion and Einstein's theory of relativity is trivial, however when we consider speed close to that of light, Einstein's formulation of relativity purely supersedes Newton's laws in terms of accuracy and completeness. Newton's laws are useful but are limited whereas Einstein's formulations are universal and fit all results till date. So f I have to, I will vote for Einstein.

Recalling from memory ... so correct at im wrong hai :-

With e=mc2 Einstein used a different definition of mass than we do.

The "m" was used to mean an object's mass ... but taking into account that mass increases if the object is accelerated.?Using today's definition of mass ... the "rest mass" of an object, you have to change the formula to take into account velocity.

Triple
Isn't that the one that some mad German tried to claim was proof of alternate realities ??
Isn't it also just a wave/partical duality test for photons - ie they're particles that diffract, like waves do ??

Sometimes I wish I'd do Physics....:D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From my knowledge mass of an object decreases if the object is accelerated making energy constant.

Thats true. From the principle of conservation of momentum and energy, the momentum and hence energy has to be essentially a constant, which means the mass of an object has to decrease when it is accelerated and vice versa.

Sir Isaac Newton for sure. If there was no Newton there probably would have been no Einstein. Plus because of energy constant we will never find that 5th dimention(curse of E=MC2).

Hmmm wasn't that the experiment? hmmm lemme go deeper and look...thx though...

bwahahhaaaaaaaa matrix that was very funny.

"Did someone get hit by an apple and got enlightened this morning while meditaing under an apple tree?":)
Hey is it true apple->Newton-->Gravity is a myth.I mean the story not his theories of gravity.I read it somewhere.


Let us not compare these heavyweights of physics.Both of them have contributed their best to the humanity.Newton during age of reason and Einstein yesterday.I like Newton's theories because they make so much "Karmic"sense.
Remember his 3rd law.You hit me and I will hit you back unlike Jesus and Gandhi who said Hit me and Hit me more until I die:)Yeah baby the power of non-violance.
Rene Descartes ofcourse Newton's philosophical guru.
"I think therefore I am"
Can't agree more otherwise I would be dead:)
Einstein thats my favorite grandfather figure:
Stick your tongue out.Did you really make those "Fatman" and "Little Boy".I guess you just gave the theory behind it.
But I like you Einstein grandpa.You said only Buddhism will make sense in the future.I am definitely sensing it now.
You go...and remember come back to tell me the ultimate cosmic theory..
OK guys..
have fun

के को कुरा गर्न थालेका हुन् यो गाँठे साझामा, न्युटन र आइन्सटाइन रे!!!

Speed of light, C=300000000 m/sec

The speed of light in vacuum is a constant regardless of frame of reference, I think the thing that gets a lot of people is remember your perception of time changes. So for instance if you take 2 photons and shoot them in opposite directions, they travel apart at the speed of light. If you are one of those photons, from your point of view time has stopped, so you don't appear to be moving to your frame of reference, but the other photon is going away at the speed of light...

What I think you might be thinking of as the light thing, there were some experiments not too long ago where someone was able to cause photons to travel slower then the speed of light, but that's not the same as saying that the speed of light in a vacuum has changed. They just caused the photon to travel slower then usual.....

Hi Izen,
What about the theory of Relitivity makes that Karmic sense too. That Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but change its form. Personally I like this one the best.

अनि त्यो के जाति वेभलेन्थ भनेको चाहि के नि ???.....:)
