One thing you could look at is their approach to problems!. Newton used observation and brilliant reasoning while Edison pretty much plugged away at a problem and often succeeded more through determination than brilliance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One thing that you might look into is how they differed in crediting others contributions!.

Newton is said to have said something like "If I have been able to see further than others it is because I have been standing on the shoulders of giants" - basically giving credit to the scientists that came before and laid the groundwork for his theories!.

Edison ran an "invention factory" and claimed credit for the inventions of his staff!. He rarely included others on his patents!. So while he was certainly bright, the picture of him being the lone great inventor is something of his own creation!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
