its amazing how well Einstein’s work has held up so long, with all of the new discoveries about the universe...

I’d expect his equations will someday need modification, if only because he had no way of knowing all of the astrological and scientific discoveries that have been made in the last 100 years

but...well, so far he’s got a great batting average!

It has held up, even if it has some unseen flaws, because the so-called scientists of today are of a much lower level of intelligence than those of the past. If a computer does not see it, there are no scientists capable of a truly original thought.

It isn’t just testosterone levels that have nosedived since the early 60’s...

It doesn’t hurt that anyone who seriously questions the theory gets drummed out of the profession.

I have a non-standard view of science: I consider reality and any model separate things.

I therefore refer to greater or lesser accuracy, not truth or falsity, of a model.

Einstein’s model has a high degree of accuracy, and therefore of usefulness.
