Einstein made great achievements in relativity and nuclear physics. He is the most influential person in the whole scientific community and can keep pace with Newton.
Edison was a great inventor. His inventions of direct current, electric light and phonograph let us know the world better. They are two different types. It can only be said that Einstein had a greater influence on cutting-edge science, and Edison's invention was indispensable to ordinary people.
Thomas Alva Edison (1847, February11-1,10, 10/8) was born in Milan, Ohio. Inventors and entrepreneurs. Edison was the first person in human history to use a large number of production principles and electrical engineering research laboratories to patent inventions, which had a great and far-reaching impact on the world. His invention of the phonograph, movie camera and electric light had a great influence on the world. He had more than 2,000 inventions and 1000 patents in his life. Edison was named the ninth among the 65,438+000 people who influenced the United States by the authoritative American periodical Atlantic Monthly.

Einstein was born in a Jewish family in Ulm, Germany on 1879. 1900 graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and became a Swiss citizen. 1905 received a doctorate from the University of Zurich. Einstein put forward the photon hypothesis and successfully explained the photoelectric effect. So he won the Nobel Prize in physics at 192 1 and founded the special theory of relativity at 1905. General relativity was founded in 19 15. 1April 1955 18 died at the age of 76.
Einstein laid a theoretical foundation for the development of nuclear energy and initiated a new era of modern science and technology, and was recognized as the greatest physicist after Galileo and Newton. 199965438+On February 26th, Einstein was selected as "the great man of the century" by American Time magazine.
