Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein?

Probably the two most influential geniuses of the modern world, who takes the cake? Principia vs relativity?
I go slight edge to Newton.
What says the OT?

Its a toughie, but I really think Einstein shaped the 20th century more than any other individual. Can't say the same for Newton and the 18th Century.

Fig Newtons are delicious dipped in milk. I give the nod to Albert.

I'm having trouble proving some of my theories so I think that I'll just invent calculus to help me out. Newton.

Newton is the anchor point of history.
One day, calendar day 1 will be publication day of Principia.
Einstein was able to stand on Newton's shoulders.

Because there was no mass media to make him a star? While Einstein was the most significant scientific mind since Newton, Newton was responsible for a branch of physics "for the real world" AND calculus. Plus he did things with optics and light.
Einstein was practically worthless in math. Although his work was both important at the atomic/quantum level, as well as astrophysics - much of his importance is based on his research filling in the gaps that Newtonian physics didn't account for. That's clean-up work, relatively speaking.

Newton's theories were universally accepted for decades after and are still applicable in 99.9% of non-quantum cases.
