>He was a physics genius, therefore he knows everything! I fuckin' love science!

That kind of lazy thinking that has turned this man into a benevolent, aesthetic symbol of the 'genius' in general and is practically regarded like a sage or deity.

I'm fine recognizing the particular contribution he's made, but I'm referring to the kind of reddit memethink that reduces him to some smug symbol of all-knowing englightenment that sciences the SHIT out of everything!

>> No.12229890

but was he actually a designated figurehead for the discoveries made by teams of "lesser" (read: poorer) scientists?

>> No.12229894

>>12229890
yes

The shit he discovered was derived from mostly Mach, Michelson, and Morley

>> No.12229902

I'm fine with aesthetics, in fact I think aesthetics may come first in human thought given the mediatedness of experience; but it's pathetic the way supposedly rational science-y people succumb to the same kind of aestheticization and signification of the allegedly cold arena of science and Einstein is literally just the cartoon image of Science Man.

When people start to over praise him for everything I always enjoy to tell them he married his cousin because he had a list of criteria a potential life partner must meet to marry him. Only his cousin matched that so he married her after separating from his first wife. It isn't much but at least they might stop sucking his skeleton dick. I also enjoy saying that to people shitting all over Haber. Yes, he killed people with gases but, hey, Einstein married his cousin. You can't change the world and not be autistic.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with marrying your cousin or sister

>> No.12230179

>>12230146
if it was good enough for Einstein, it's good enough for me

seriously, who doesn't have that one cousin

>> No.12230189

Reminder that Einstein died never accepting quantum physics as a plausible theory. He got BTFO even in the fields of science.
