before Einstein

i seen that claimed before?

Einstein was a proud German man, but he was also anti-racist, a true human being

say no to racism in scienec

someone that believes Egyptians had the most advanced civilization of all time

and less popular among white men

Einstein said astrology was bullshit, but i think thats because he didn't understand it fully well

interesting thread

essentially what i mean when I say "Einstein" is the greatest of the 20th century in that particular field

who was the "Einstein" of Mathematics
who was the "Einstein" of chemistry
who was the "Einstein" of biology
who was the "Einstein" of computer science

if there are other fields list them

when developing General Relativity?

i heard a claim that he actually never heard of Isaac Newton in his entire scientific career?

"The differential law is the form which alone entirely satisfies the modern physicist's requirement of causality. The clear conception of the differential law is one of the greatest of Newton's intellectual achievements. What was needed was not only the idea but a formal mathematical method which was, indeed, extant in rudiment but had still to gain a systemic shape. This also Newton found in the differential and integral calculus. It is unnecessary to consider whether Leibniz arrived at these same mathematical methods independently of Newton or not; in any case, their development was a necessity for Newton, as they were required in order to give Newton the means of expressing his thought."

and this is Einstein going against his own German pride and country

when it comes to calculus

"The differential law is the form which alone entirely satisfies the modern physicist's requirement of causality. The clear conception of the differential law is one of the greatest of Newton's intellectual achievements. What was needed was not only the idea but a formal mathematical method which was, indeed, extant in rudiment but had still to gain a systemic shape.

we ever see the myth of this man go away?
