He is credited often for E=mc2 formula. But he didnt discover it first. Scientists before him figured it out way before he got to it. He was however the first to coin it. So my question is this. Should a scientist be aknowledged for first one to inventing it? Or first one to coin it?

Other thing he is known for is light year. Which is pure science fiction way of messurements. You cant really messure light. I have heard argument that the delay in "Turning on and off light is what they messure." but that to me makes no sense. A light turns on like "instant, and lights up"

If anything. I would prefer if it was messurements on a plane of the year between Earth and Moon. Messuring the length in miles, and just call it moon years. Atleast that to me makes sense.

HE was also one to urge development of nuclear bombs, because the fear that nazis would make one. Although he would regret it later. Even though i dont think he was part of Manhattan project to make the bomb himself.

But yeah. I dont get why people have Einstein as a pop culture scientist rolemodel. Even Nikola Tesla didnt take him seriously. If anything, why not have Nikola Tesla as role model for a scientist? Why Einstein? I just dont see how he did anything notable is what i mean.

Every development stands on the shoulders of prior giants (so said Newton).  And Einstein was just a patent clerk at first.  But he did eventually get his PhD, but he was a loner. a rake, and not a good teacher.  Certainly not a paragon, but who is?

The Italian version of the story of early Einstein is best for his humanity ...

Of course his smart wife, who helped with his early papers, didn't get any credit.

Right person at right place at right time ... how much credit is that?  But a committee actually doesn't make original work, they can only develop already existing work.  A new idea can only form in one head.  Newton wasn't any better, quite a nut.

Kibby wants to be a genus!

Aren't primates already a genus? ;-))

Not an expert, but I have studied Relativity theory since I was a teen, as mental exercise.

What is a 'messure'?  Ah, now I get it--it's what you make--a mess for sure--a messure.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

And?

Any slightest mistake, in spelling or punctuation is a sign you aren't Woke, so I was told by the geniuses who used to post here (whereas I admit I am a forgetful old man and proud of it).

That's good. I have an equation just for you. IQ=[1/C**2]-1.

Kibla is suffering from degenerative nonsense syndrome.  Could we lock him in a thread for the mentally insane and just let him deteriorate until he is committed to a hospital?
