What the heck did Benjamin Franklin do other than the three simple laws of electricity you learn in easy science and confuse positive for negative and negative for positive?
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of relativity both qualitatively and quantitatively, whereas Ben just did his easy schtuff qualitatively and didn't even find out the mechanism. Einsein's theory of relativity made many predictions, and almost all of them have become true and some of 'em to eleven-plus decimal places (to quote Hawking). The only place where his theory breaks down theoretically is at scales that would not be able to be probed for decades (10^-35 metres).
