🗑️ 🧵 I'm shocked at how overrated he turned out to be
Anonymous at Sun, 17 Mar 2024 09:11:07 UTC No. 16082740
When I was a kid, all I ever heard growing up was that Einstein was some giga intellectual who thought in ways no other mortal ever could. His very name was a byword for genius and in school we were all taught how Einstein single handedly came up with the theory of relativity and proved that newton's view of gravity was incomplete. We were provided no context of HOW he came to his conclusions, leaving us to believe that he single handedly challenged the dogma of his time via his own original thought and managed to prove them wrong.
Now that I have matured and have a much better understanding of how knowledge progresses, I am astounded at how overrated he is. For starters he wasn't even particularly good at math, his entire theory of relativity was already almost discovered by minkowsky. His insight on photo-electric effect would have been impossible had it not been for planck's postulates. His work on brownian motion was comparatively impressive but the foundation was already laid by poincare. He also had several misses, he did not think nuclear power will ever be possible for he did not even consider that a particle with same weight as that of a proton but neutral charge could ever exist, he did not believe black holes were possible, he was uncomfortable with quantum entanglement etc.
He was definitely a gifted individual but was not extraordinary, his entire scientific work was simply him organizing multiple ideas already explored by others, thats not a bad thing at all, but it surely adds a halo to his image and makes him appear much larger than he actually was.

That was all just jew propaganda

Because he was so highly praised by the media and general population for his ideas/theories/discoveries at the time, while all these other related top scientists were still alive too, wouldn't the other scientists have all called him out for being a fraud if all he did was copy off everyone? I imagine they would never let him take credit for anything if he didn't really do anything

Spacetime is not even relative, that is just his personal interpretation. The Math doesn't care as long as you don't mix coordinate systems.

They were too scared to challenge the traditional notions of time and space. Einstein was heavily criticized and called a fraud for doing that, exactly what they feared and prevented them from going all the way.

because people are zombies who constantly need More heros and ideals to hook around. Their brains stop working the moment they quote their ideals as it makes them use less of it. People need constant supply of ideals to make them feel how inferior they are and who they should listen to for all the "correct" answers.

Are there any references of any scientists of the time calling him a fraud? I can't seem to find any other than people from recent times. Mostly just people claiming because his theories were built on other theories that somehow makes them fraudulent or invalid or unimportant. Or that because his spouse assisted him with some of it it's invalidated
From what I understand, the main thing he did was provide a new framework based on existing ideas in such a way that it did away with the need for the luminiferous aether, which was a pretty huge deal because it was causing all kinds of problems

David Hilbert derived the einstein field equations before einstein (by a week if i remember) but fully credited einstein with it.

who would you believe created it first though. Hilbert looks like a total gaylord with that silly hat and "Hilbert" embroided right onto his jacket so everyone knows who he is. Einstein looks like he's completely absorbed physics and is radiating physics energy like some kind of super saiyan of physics

The most famous was Philipp Lenard, a Nobel laureate.

Hilbert literally conceded everything to Einstein, stating that he put it all together, all that was left was getting the actual equation (which Einstein independently derived only a week later than Hilbert)

Yes, you werebrainwashed. Just like kids in the USSR had images of Granfather Lenin always looking down upon them, you have posters of Einstein.

Your hatred of jew science man stems from the embedded antisemitism in your culture. This is why you must diversity.

>Lenard became Chief of Aryan Physics under the Nazis
>he labeled Albert Einstein's contributions to science as "Jewish physics"
I get the feeling his judgement may have been somewhat clouded by his personal views. He did not appear to have much if any support from his peers. His criticisms were fairly vague

He didn't hate Einstein because he was antisemite, he became antisemite because he hated Einstein that much.

>Lenard's book, Great Men in Science, A History of Scientific Progress, first published in English in 1933,[18] claimed these men were all "Aryan scientists".[19]
>The individual scientists selected for inclusion by Lenard do not include Einstein or Marie Curie, nor any other twentieth-century scientist
>Lenard grew extremely resentful of the credit accorded to Wilhelm Röntgen, who received the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901, for the discovery of the X-ray,[9][10] despite the fact that Röntgen was German and a non-Jew
He appears to hate quite a lot of people.
>The theory of complete aether drag, as proposed by George Gabriel Stokes (1844), was used by some critics as Ludwig Silberstein (1920) or Philipp Lenard (1920) as a counter-model of relativity
but then
>Ludwik Silberstein (May 17, 1872 – January 17, 1948) was a Polish-American physicist who helped make special relativity and general relativity staples of university coursework
I don't know the whole story but it really sounds like Lenard was beholden to his unconscious bias and was pretty much alone in his accusations, at least to that degree, among the physicists at the time anyway

Math is a tool for physics, it isn't physics itself. And the math of special relativity is basic algebra, so its not particularly hard to derive.

When Einstein derived them he used a way more physical principle of "gravitational energy" which vanished when in inertial motion leading to equations that had a derivative of 0. Einstein at that time had already derived the distance equation in 1913:
[math]ds^2=\sum_{\mu=0}^3\sum_{\nu=
And the geodesic equation in 1914:
[math]-\frac{d^{2}x^{\lambda}}{ds^2
So by the time Hilbert entered the picture most of the underlining equations were established. After that Einstein in 1918 established the linear equations for gravitation waves.
