What did his ideas actually accomplish?
How did they impact the world?
He doesn't seem very relevant to me

They had some impact on satellites but other than that he should not be a notable figure since he essentially just regurgitated previous physics which had been easily observable for a hundred years before him and less easily since the Neolithic.

GPS works thanks to him.

Well, it showed that time is not a universal and fixed reference frame, but a malleable "something", intertwined with the physical dimensions, which also, as he found out, can dilate and contract as well, everything together enmeshed, distorting and flowing, a... "space-time". Not just that, he found out that those distortions are produced by the presence of mass and radiation. But perhaps most of all, that matter is "frozen" radiation.
That was revolutionary, and it still is incredible, if you think about it.

Not exactly true you're understanding it backwards. The GPS is used as proof of his theory not that his theories made satellite and further it's ridiculous to simplify to him.

GPS would not work without relativistic corrections. Had we tried to create a GPS system without awareness of relativity, it would not work. We might then have been led to figure out why exactly, and eventually found relativity, but thats just not how history led us here.

I don't think the idea of relative motions was novel in itself, rather it's the mathematical transformations of spacetime metrics which make the theory great

He is not relevant. The only noteworthy thing he did was to encourage the US to start working on the atomic bomb, because he feared that the Germans would succeed with theirs.
Other than that he is not really noteworthy.

Which is funny because by that time he was irrelevant and lost all chance of fame from it

No I learned that in elementary school, in Scandinavia... Never saw that movie, it seemed kinda retarded glorification of some autistic faggots.

Truth. This was his main achievement in life. Once this fades finally the scientific community will be able to discuss his ideas critically.

Well I must admit >>16173861 is mucho correcto. You see we could have made a fiest attempt at GNSS, launched sattelites, found it to behave weirs, ?!?, make the neccessary corrections and see it working fine. Don't ask questions it is what it is.
To me this actually seems like, at leats historically, the more prevalent mode of innovation. Someone does something and somehow it works. The principle behind it is only understood much later.
Take bicycles for example, they just worked when first created. Yet there is an entire discipline in physics investigating the phenomenon of bicycle (in-)stability and alot of it has only been worked out very recently.
Take oxy fuel torches, in another thread anon just revealed to me one of the reasons why the flame does not propagate up the torch and boom. People who first used those didn't understand why. They just had experience regarding what works and what boom.
First radio receivers, like the crystal set, were not understood almost untik they were already replaced by their successor technology.
I must admit it may be a different story going forward. Newer technologies are increasingly complex, far from realistically to be discovered by accident and the emergence of the scientific method replaced the thinkerer of old days. Still, we would have gotten GNSS working without understanding relativity. Just like we still accept other peculiarities of some processes without understanding. Just check medicine for example, metamizole or many other meds we use but don't understand.

I hate these threads. Everybody always has some criticism of Einstein and his contributions. He has made real, testable, provable theories that can be shown to be either correct or incorrect.
If you are truly serious about Einstein being wrong, please show us both mathematically and experimentally how he is wrong, and where he is wrong. Anything less is tantamount to some retard bitching about someone who's actually accomplished something in life.

Knitted together our understanding of mechanics and electrodynamics, which is the pretty fundamental starting point for understanding a lot of how nuclear processes work. You can't figure out how fission and fusion work without the concept of energy-mass equivalence.

He did a lot, photoelectric effect, general ans special relativity, one the first to talk about Quantum mechanics etc. Hes the example of how a guy that is shit at mats and experimental thing, can achieve by working hard, and great intuition and imagination. He missed a lot tho, and I would say after his 40yo he begun to decline, because of his ego that stops him to listen and learn from others. But however, hes one the greatest, one step behind newton, but at the same level than maxwell

It doesn't matter what you think or what you wish had happened. The fact is that Einstein discovered relativity at the beginning of the XX century, and only later on, much later on, did we use his discovery (a many others' discoveries as well, obviously) to devise and implement a functional GPS system.
That's what happened.
