They are both the masters of chess But who you think is better?
They are both amazing players and they can both contend against each other. Many would say Magnus is better but I believe they are around the same level with Magnus maybe being slightly above.
I stand corrected:
Magnus Carlsen beat Hikaru Nakamura 89 to 38, with 115 draws. This is one of the statistics I found. Feel free to look it up yourself. It appears Magnus is better

Magnus. I wish there was more of a debate here, but Magnus is the best player in the world by a considerable margin

True true Magus even beat stockfish before it’s very impressive
I don't think any human has ever beaten Stockfish... I could be wrong, but I don't recall anybody doing it before... Magnus would definitely be the one to do it, tho.

They are both the two best in the world at this game. However I believe Hikaru will shine brightest tomorrow.

Carlsen: 5 times World Champion, 4 times WC rapid champion, 5 times WC blitz champion, World #1 rating since 12 years ago.
Nakamura: 0 times World champion, 0 times WC rapid champion, 0 times WC blitz champion.
Nakamura is 3 years older than Carlsen.
So... yes, it's not easy to say which is the better player... 
U cannot compare an alien with a human
Magnus Carlsen is better
There are levels to this.
At the top: the Engine Level. The cold-blooded titans of chess. Beyond human abilities. Stockfish, AlphaZero, LC0, Komodo, etc ...
Then: the Magnus Carlsen Level. He's there by himself, like a man standing alone on a summit. Precision, tenacity, chess understanding, and a long list of championship titles in all formats, that puts him in a category all his own.
Kasparov's heavy footprints remain on this summit, fossilized in the dirt - along with the footprints of a few others.
Then: the Super Elites (Ding, Caruana, Nepomniatchi, Nakamura, Firouzja, etc ... Their rankings shift and change frequently, as they're all quite comparable to each other in strength and ability.)
Then, everbody else ...
