Nuttiness all around.
Newtonian physics is still what people learn in there school science class, so hardly a failure. Just not precise enough to fully explain how the universe works. Even quantum theory fails to explain everything.
Nothing in this excerpt explains how validating a physics theory led to multiculturalism.
All things considered, my theory is that Einstein was a space alien.
That read like the scribblings of a drunk scientist.
Well, I don’t think there is anything particularly scientific about equating cultures regardless of fitness to meet rudimentary benchmarks. Science should accept working contributions regardless of the culture the person who makes them comes from. That doesn’t mean that everyone is equally correct in everything they believe, just that everyone is allowed to make a valid argument without being shot down because of where they come from.
The Left actually has a real problem with this concept. I ran into one this semester. Professor who had a very narrow definition for acceptable sources. African scientists (actually) were the example given as a bad source in a very strange and frighteningly simplistic diatribe.
I think you get into trouble when you mix absolutist belief with empiricism because the two are incompatible. They both have their uses but those uses are not the same.
I should have said you get into trouble when you try to swap out empirical findings with absolutist belief.
Love it!
Great mathmatics!
What an absurd article. And the headline uses “instead” as if Einstein were proven incorrect.
It only proved that Einstein’s theory was “more” correct. But that’s far from saying that neither is correct, and only subject to someone’s personal interpretation.
re: “Einstein was confirmed! Newton was overthrown!”
I think this “theory” thing between Newton and Einstein needs a re-think too.
Too much ‘garbage’ in QM to make sense, in light of new, recent discoveries not all of which physicists are in agreement with let alone even aware of ...
By the way, Newton himself didn’t predict that the sun’s gravity would bent light. That was only implied later when it was discovered that light had a finite speed. What was not taken into account until Einstein’s theory is gravitational time dilation.
The reason ‘multiculturalism’ is winning is because the Left figured out that it can be used as a tool to overthrow Western cultures while empowering Leftists, and also, at the same time, giving them a sledgehammer to knock down anyone opposing it, by calling them racist, and punishing them if they don’t stand down. It had nothing to do with Newton, or Einstein.
The problem with people like this guy, and sadly most on our side, including Trump at times (sadly) is that they are not able to comprehend the PURE EVIL of these people, and the fact that they HATE US to the point where they would enjoy watching us be tortured to death in jail, should they ever get the level of power needed to do just that. That’s who they are and the race is on as to whether our side figures it out first, or their side prevails.
Eddington did it.
One of the themes of postmodernism is the denial of universal objective truth. Kant, who was a century before Einstein, was the originator of the modern version of the anti-truth philosophy.Kant declared that reality was unknowable by reason, and that reason was not a means of knowledge of reality, but only of appearances. His followers have declared that truth depends on one's group, or language, or society, or culture.
Quantum mechanics is much more radical from Newton’s works than Einstein’s. The root of leftist thinking is envy , the rest is merely cover talk.

Must be having a second childhood moment and reliving his favorite dances of the times...like maybe “The Twist” and “The Jerk”.
