I believe Newton was much more important than Einstein in the history of Science. Essentially he laid the starting point for "Modern" Physics/Mathematics and everybody since then has been following on from there. For me there are only three Scientists who could be called as truly "tectonic inducing" in the history of Modern Science. In order of ranking; 1) Isaac Newton. 2) James Clerk Maxwell. 3) Albert Einstein.
