Normally, we submit a manuscript to a journal and the journal editor select the reviewers for the submitted manuscript. When a popular scientist submit his manuscript, who will review their work because none is having previous research experience in their field like Relativity theory given by Einstein
I also think that is one of the reasons why Journal uses "blind review". Hence, the outcome of review is based on the reviewers perception of authors contribution to knowledge and not on the bases of an established name of the scientist. No matter who writes an article, there would always be somebody to access it. The most important is for authors to be basic enough for target audience to understand. Hence, who writes or who assess those not matter so long its a significant contribution in the field.
Hi,
I believe that this is a hypothetical question, so hypothetically I would answer that articles by these well known scientists could be reviewed by other well known scientists in their respective fields.
It is the job of the journal editor to find reviewers who are qualified to evaluate the work. On the other hand, it is the job of the writer to explain the science in ways that others CAN understand.
So you should not imagine that nobody is qualified to blind review the work of Stephen Hawking.
You talk about popular scientists like Einstein or Stephen Hawking as they are the only scientists, and no other scientist comes after them. Well known scientists are many, when one of them submit his manuscript, the journal will choose suitable well known scientists to review his article based on their very high qualifications, very long experience, and very big knowledge even if they are not really close to the area of the submitted manuscript.

These may be returned by me to the journal authority as I am not having sufficient knowledge to evaluate such articles.
I know it, but there are persons who do not know their limitations. They may cancel the articles with a brief comment like 'the article is written on baseless Idea'.
