the real hard sciences are the ones which have experiments and can be put to the test over and over again in the lab.

You mean, like Newton changing the orbits of planets and observing the result. Oh, wait, he didn't do that. I guess that means he wasn't a real scientist.

And then there's Einstein. Here's a list of the science experiments Einstein ran in his research career.

Sorry, Einstein, according to our FR peanut gallery, you don't qualify as a real scientist either.

I've never seen such strong opinions with so little to back them up.

"Sorry, Einstein, according to our FR peanut gallery, you don't qualify as a real scientist either."

There's a number of things that Einstein postulated that couldn't be tested until many years after his death. I'm sure you are aware of that.
