Less.

i agree.

I think he would be more, because I have a firm grip on my childish delight in things like magic. :)

Besides, Einstein's discoveries, while new knowledge, were not new inventions or innovations. He simply explained what was already there.

Magic, on the other hand, defies explanation.

^^^ Agreed, and also, the magician could totally just get me a pet bunny out of nowhere. Of course, the bunny might end up being possessed or something, since he was conjured from another realm. And a bunny is fairly easy to obtain without magic.

OK, nevermind the bunny argument. Stick with "childish delight." That was better.

....bunnies, bunnies.... it must be BUNNIES!!!!

heh.

Less impressive. That's an innate talent that he was born with, not figuring out the nature of space/time.

[lightningspark]

that's actually exactly what i was thinking. the magician has a gift--and while obviously einstein did, too, that gift is less complex.

[jerseyfabulous]

Less. Einstein can probably explain what the magician is doing. (I'm sure it involves quantum mechanics somehow. If not, then string theory.) And that might enable others to invent something so I could do magic too.

[lightningspark]

ever the scientist.

Personally, that's why I like string theory. I think it explains magic.

Not enough information. Part of what makes Einstein impressive is his background, his education and his personality. Also, I don't assume that the ability to do magic is something innate not learned. So he could easily be as impressive as Einstein, but I don't have enough information to make that leap.

good points.
