In classical physics there are no uncertainties-the properties of matter on an atomic level are deterministic, that is to say predetermined.the theories of quantum mechnics, however , only say something about how likely th eporperties are and the two iterpretations of the laws of physics were a sourse of great contraversy between Einstein and Niel Bohr.now research strengthens Bohr's quantum theories. one can find these reasults in academic journal,Physical Review Letter..

Einstein is more known than Bohr, but I wouldn't say that one is better than the other. Quantum physics is still developing, maybe they're both proved wrong on some years. And even if one of them are proved wrong, that doesn't make him a bad scientists. Science is all about trying and testing and often failing or making mistakes.

How about James Clerk Maxwell who unified all equations of electromagnetism, magnetism, electricity and optic into a consistent theory.

The question of superiority does not arise here. Both have significant contribution towards mankind and advancement of science. Einstein is more famous because of his revolutionary Relativity theory.

I've dealing with these matters for years. And still honestly I don't know which one of them gave a greater contribution. Although Einstein is much more famous, Bohr's revolutionary thinking is equally amazing.
