Both incredibly smart individuals.

Both died at 76 years old.

Both are estimated to have the same IQ which is 160.

Who is more impressive genius of the two?

Who's the best actor of the two, is a more interesting debate.
 
I'm voting Einstein. The further back you go the more impressive some accomplishments are to me

Feel terrible for Stephen having to live life in that state. Would love to have seen his potential and difference in his career had he not been afflicted. Huge props to carrying on as best as possible with as much gusto as possible. That's a hard thing to do for your average person without any disability, let alone what he was up against.

Both wild minds in areas most people can't even see.
 
Intellectual smarts it’s Einstein bc he had a far broader concept of everything bf great technology so it’s also a trick question bc time moves on and so does technological advancement making it easier to figure out stuff which Hawkins had to his advantage .
 
Einstein by all outside ( except maybe id discussing black holes - but maybe even then). Tesla vs Einstein is a tough one. For mind of the 20th century.

Well many people can see Einsteins mind if they wanted to .

Einstein because he's not a fake .

Hawking was British but insisted on talking in that ridiculous faux American robotic Voice....
That will have been it was about the only available synthesized human voice available to him to use at the time. Its not like back then you had a palette of 20 different electronic synthesized voices you could choose from to speak for you.

I have to assume you're trolling here as you must know why he used a synthesized voice due to his medical condition.
 
That's not an advantage though. Einstein had fewer giants shoulders to stand on.

Exactly. Your average physics graduate in 2025 will know more than Issac Newton, obviously. Same time Newton is obviously one of the most influential scientists in human history.

Without primitive man learning to control fire, we’d still be in the trees. Etc etc
 
Let's talk about the peopel that came up with Calculus and Algebra.. Mental Giants
 
The one who didn't diddle kids wins, eh.
