ALBERT EINSTEIN VS ISAAC NEWTON
▸ WHERE THEY SHARPLY DISAGREED
The three dimensions on which Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton are farthest apart on Mull's 0–10 scale.
- Reverence for TraditionΔ 2 / 10Albert Einstein: 4/10Isaac Newton: 6/10
somewhat (2/10): Isaac Newton treats inherited tradition as a source of wisdom; Albert Einstein is readier to question it.
- Trust in ExperienceΔ 1 / 10Albert Einstein: 9/10Isaac Newton: 8/10
somewhat (1/10): Albert Einstein grounds knowing in lived experience; Isaac Newton weights other sources of evidence more.
- Mystical ReceptivityΔ 1 / 10Albert Einstein: 6/10Isaac Newton: 5/10
somewhat (1/10): Albert Einstein is more open to mystical or apophatic depths; Isaac Newton stays within what reason can name.
