Can't believe this historic piece of nazi propaganda thanks to Phillip Lenard's "Aryan Physics" is alive and well (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philipp_Lenard).

One of the most acurate explaination I have seen comes from mathspage (http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s8-08/8-08.htm) it's worth reading.

Noone was ever given the Nobel prize for relativity so it can not be said there was a science bias towards him.

At the end of the day it was always regarded as Einstein's theory and he was the one left defending it towards very hostile attacks at times. You might want to read up on the "Hundred authors against Einstein" published in 1931.

We acknowledge the contribution of Lorentz, Poincare, Hilbert, Ricci, Minkowski, Maxwell, Zeeman, Reinmann, Gauss and many more however at the end of the day Einstein was the one who bore the criticism and spent years answer them in the public so it is not surprising that the public views Einstein as the father of relativity.

Hope that all translates.


I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
