Color me cynical, but I think einstein was overhyped..Pythagoras was a greater mathematical genius and as far as geniuses go, Einstein pales in comparison to people like Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci to mention a few.
He is not overhyped. He is a super genius like Isaac Newton. You only get people like them maybe once in every 500 years.

Consider Pythagoras theorem which is used for triangle and most of us finds it easy to represent the corners of a triangle with ABC. It wouldn't make sense if the c is replaced with another alphabet. It would look odd to have a triangle ABD, ABE or ABP.

Now for Einstein. He uses c to represent speed. That itself is confusing for a learner. What is wrong in using s to represent speed when he used E for energy, and m for mass..

I give it to Pythagoras... he was the first to use C... Einstein should have used another letter.... Moreover Pythagoras laid a foundation to many analytical problems with his theorem.....
it's Einstein because Pythagoras is equal to the square root of c2

I give it to Pythagoras. The 3,4,5 square system is used in all engineering. Civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical and other engineering. While Einstein's e=mc2 is mainly used in energy relate challenges.

Clearly Pythagoras.

First Pythagoras did his work about 2,500 years before Einstein. A time when only very few people could read. No real universities or professors to learn from.

Pythagoras did massive work in planetary science (stars, Venus), proportions, music tuning, solids and the fact that the earth is a sphere, a fact that took another over 2, 000 years later for others to realise/accept. He had massive influence on Gauss, Newton, Kepler, Copernicus and others that later went on to inspire Einstein.

He was also one of the best philosophers ever.

Yes.to elaborate more in Civil Engineering,In using the 3,4,5 method,there's a direct application of this in mapping out a given space which us used to determine how your house will be built in order to get a Perfect Squared which directly affects how you roof your house.So Pythagoras all the way

I believe he regretted what his discoveries came to be used for, and not the scientific discoveries themselves.

Science is neither 'good' nor 'bad'. Science is not morality.

It's like facts. A banana is a fruit. That statement is neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative.

Special relativity was a modern breakthrough which came to have far reaching applications such as in nuclear fission, in nuclear reactors in power plants.

While it is accurate that special relativity created a relatively new breed of powerful weapons, it also fostered insight into fusion and illumination of the Geophysical characteristics of the earth.

You may have read or heard about vital anti cancer drugs like cyclophosphamide used in Breast Cancer or Multiple Myeloma. That would be considered a 'good' development, I'd bet.

Neither of them invented it.

Einstein was influenced by Isaac Newton.

Newton was influenced by Pythagoras.

Pythagoras himself was influenced by Imhotep, the world's first multi-genius who lived here in Africa. Imhotep lived during the reign of pharaoh Djoser (2686 BC - 2649 BC) and he was the one that developed the a2+b2 formula when he was building the step pyramid. The formula was later perfected by Pharaoh Kufour, who used it to build the perfect pyramid at Giza. All this happened over 2,000 years before Pythagoras was born. Indeed, Pythagoras learned mathematics, music, and geometry here in Africa where he came to school.

Your schools would never tell you this in the western controlled indoctrination called education.

Imhotep, the world's first scientist.

Unrelated hypothesis, it cant even make it to hypothesis, needless to say it is an issue worth being discussed. In one case Pythagoras is representing values of attributes with alphabeths as an illustration and on the other case, Einstein is using Alphabeths to represent energy phases within the Unified Field.

So then, if the battle is about the superiority of the avatars compared, then we must understand that both men, are not Gods on the same aspects of Science. One is a Mathematician and the other is an Quantum Mechanist so the alphabeths represented different variables.

Who is smarter ? I go for Pythogoras, especially when Einstein made a great blunder on the theory of relativity. That error alone has misled so many scientists, many are not still aware of Einstein error today but look at him as some God, but then, the man tried.

This argument makes no sense. Those who two totally different things, the "C"s. Distance, velocity of light. No common ground for comparisons. Just because they both use C as symbol doesn't mean they're similar. They are both two great scientists in their own rights. If you are comparing the scientists themselves that's a different argument entirely. And that picture doesn't portray that.

LOL you should have kept quite then. Pythagoras theorem is 100 times more useful than theory of relativity.
The most significant application of Einstein's formula is basically I'm nuclear energy generation. We have hundreds of other methods of generating energy which can easily replace nuclear even if the formula was never driven. On the other hand Pythagoras theorem makes breakthroughs in hundreds of fields possible such as structures, mechanical machines, travel, architecture, economics and so on...

However you may not know that during World War II, Nitrogen Mustard gas was discovered and developed subsequently into blistering chemical agents used till this day with devastating effect in chemical warfare.

Cyclophosphamide is a Nitrogen Mustard.

Would you then consider it 'good' or 'bad?

Pepper spray is a powerful personal protection tool.

But did you know that the primary inventor has severally mentioned his regret that it is often used by draconian regimes to curb public protests?

Does that then make Pepper Spray good or bad?

Science is an Objective process. The applications of that scientific process is where morality lies therein.
