Its doubtful. Most of the sciences have got to the point where you need more than ingenuity to advance significantly... money makes the world go round, after all. It'll be the big companies making advances, and the universities. When you hear a story on the news do you hear "so-and-so have discovered.." or "such-and-such institution..."? Within the scientific communities, individual genius will be continued to be recognised, but the general public will see advancement as institution or nation based. Could you tell me which scientist cloned Dolly the sheep?

I greatly admire Stephen Hawking, but he isn't even close to matching the accomplishments of AE.
Einstein redefined our understanding of space, time, matter, energy and gravity, which pretty much covers a lot of stuff. He also explained Brownian motion as direct evidence of molecules, explained the photoelectric effect as evidence of the quantization of energy, helped develop Bose-Einstein statistics for quantum particles with integer spin, etc. Only Newton can stand with AE.
To answer your question, highly doubtful. The level of complexity has gotten to the point where few can be experts in all the areas required to make significant advancements. Solo efforts like those of Newton and AE will be increasingly rare.

We haven't had one yet and it is about time. They seem to come along once per century.
Einsteins' brilliance was a result of the mutual respect, a team work attitude, and open information sharing by a number of brilliant men like Planck, Lorentz, Bohr, Born, and others who lived at the same time. Their motives were more about the advancement of science than personal recognition and they provided each other fuel for thought.

There are several alive right now. The glamor has gone out of veneration of scientists. When they played an integral part in stopping Nazis or beating Russians to the Moon, they were almost held up as demi-gods. Today our brilliant minds are more focused on things our soap-opera, NASCAR, Gameboy mentalities won't bother to comprehend.

I before E except after C .
Einstein wasn't so smart.

Stephen Hawking has been redefining cosmology and physics for some years now.

who says einstein was a genious
although he did make nice cookies and make up a lot of cool stuff for films

hawking, this man is genius, and there will be many more turning up more and more often as science slowly takes the place of backward religions

Stephen Hawking has already surpassed einstien.
Einstien dismissed the "Dark Matter" theory as preposterous, it is an accepted theory today because we are able to gather more information.

Already have many -- Stephen Hawking is just one example.
