“Common false Internet rumor. He was well educated including a doctorate’s degree.”
Having a doctorate degree does not guarantee that you have any common sense and if you don’t practice your art but manage instead, then you can forget everything you might have learned. Some of the crappiest engineers and scientists that I know have a PhD.
Einstein never gave any credit to Oliver Heaviside, because Heaviside was home schooled, self-taught and never went to college. Heaviside invented electrical engineering.
General relativity and quantum physics. The two greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th century. Einstein discovered one and co-discovered the other.
Einstein was a genius. His work on Special Relativity, General Relativity, and the Photoelectric Effect...all were awesome.
...
He was a genius, but there are quite a few geniuses. Einstein was in the right place at the right time with the right idea. He was also an outsider which was key to his early work.
To make it short, at the time, positing that matter was formed by particles was taboo. It would be like denying climate change today.
The idea that matter was made of particles was key to Einstein’s miracle papers. Einstein’s work as a student also involved particles. I imagine he was assigned such because his advisors didn’t like him.
no clue what Unified Theory is
...
Einstein worked on Unified Theory because he despised quantum theory, even though he was one of the main founders of quantum theory.
He benefitted from his occupation. If he did not discover E=mc^2, others were around the corner.
...
Actually, E=mc^2 had already been discovered, and the math was already done. Einstein came up with the idea of why it was correct. His idea was that the luminiferous aether wasn’t necessary and that the speed of light was constant. His idea was supported by interferometer experiments and the observation of the stellar aberration.
You either believe in UFOs or you believe Einstein. You can’t believe in both.
LOL
LOL!!
Ironically the Novel “Superman: Last Son of Krypton” written by Elliot S! Magin has a a plot point previously undiscovered manuscripts by Albert Einstein, written in an undecipherable language.

Correct. Edison was the prolific inventor in the right place and time for classical electrical discoveries.
While, Ben Franklin discovered electricity but his greatest achievement was signing the Constitution which created the world’s first free republic.
Imagine that, electricity is everywhere, even our Constitution. And the hate America, or hate Whitey folks can do NOTHING to change that relevance.
It is engrained in history, FOREVER.
Tell your leftist teacher to stick that up his nose.
My handwriting has been called that on good days. A lot worse most of the time.
One, physics is actually the science of everything. Two, Albert Einstein was actually a space alien with a sense of humor.
You know in Lord of the Rings, there is the One Ring to rule them all?
Well, the Unified Theory is kind of like that, but for nerds.
*ping*
Degrees from ETH and PhD from Zurich two of the finest institutions in the world
Einstein taught every physicist how to think. He was the original genius
Einstein was a strict determinist who could not come to accept quantum theory. He did not believe that God had free will. He ended his life an atheist and in my opinion quite depressed.
That isn't quite precisely true. He didn't like the implications of quantum theory and tried to find ways around them, which failed because he was first and foremost the most brilliant physicist of the time. And despite not liking the implications he was after all one of the quintessential founders of the field with unsurpassed incites into how things work. His prejudice was that "God does not play dice" but everything he advanced as serious scientific work piled on the evidence to the contrary.
Albert Einstein says E=mc2 is not correct.
It is.... that part was found to be erased.
