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.
