Science builds upon itself. Every engineer and scientist after Einstein had access to a better understanding of reality because of his work.

Also GPS for us on Earth, and navigation in general for spacecraft would be very inaccurate without general relativity.

Pop-sci has measured him to have had 160 IQ. I'd say much higher if you can measure how deep you can think. The man was a master in how you think.

How do people with agendas like this even take themselves seriously? Everything you believe is purely agenda driven, zero relationship with reality. And somehow you don't notice this.

He proved that everyone was stupid and didn't understand what gravity was.

He proved that the atom bomb could be built which caused the US to dump a lot of resources into research before the Germans found out about the possibility of an atom bomb.

He made the understanding of physics much more clear and created a paradigm that explains the equivalence of almost everything, leading to the concept of the black hole (based off of his spacetime theory) Hawking radiation, gravitational lensing, and infinitely many other effects that are still being confirmed true even today.

He didn't prove the nuclear bomb could be built, at least not directly.
At the time of his e=mc^2 announcement we didn't know about neutrons, so we had no way of splitting the nucleus without using a lot of energy, protons would repel. The discovery of neutrons unlocked nuclear weapons.

Not even close. The ancients and medievals were all about thought experiments. In fact they often viewed actual experimentation as silly and beneath them.
