<p>Who's smarter? I just wanna see some good arguments I guess.</p>

<p>Go with the Hawkman....</p>
<p>Well, both Hawking and Witten dabble in string theory, though it seems Witten is more on the forefront in the area. From what i hear, Witten was a lot more talented with the mathematics, but he is not as known as Hawking. My vote goes with Special Ed.</p>
