Who is more influential, Newton or Einstein?

Some would say that Newton - being the founder of modern physics - is the most influential scientist to have lived. However, others argue that Einstein - with his elaborations and deeper understandings of Newton's original findings - is more influential.

Reply to tim wood I agree, if one were to look at - who of the two was more inventive - they may opt for Newton. But, if they were to look at how innovative - they may opt for Einstein.
