you mean laureate not lauraete
lauraete must be somthin complitly else
and einstine dident got noblel for his relaticity,
which is kinda downer for a so good stable
theory

Right on! Post like the one you are responding to is somewhat
indicative of the ignorance most of Einstein's critics post.
Funny too, since among physicists, Einstein's name is held with the
same reverance which was previously accorded Galaleo, Newton, and
Maxell.
You are correct in that Einstein's only Nobel Prize was awarded by his
work on photoelectric effects, findings that are taught today. His
work on Special Relativity I find it at least curious that he was
never accorded a Nobel prize for this, his most outstanding
contribution to mankind. I believe that this was not accidental, and
it had either to do with his political leanings or the fact that he
was a Jew.
What many lay posters to not realize (possible because they are
uneducated) is that Einsteins later work was on his Special Theory of
Relativity, which he neither completed or published by the time of his
death.
Fragmentary notes of his uncompleted work leaked into the hands of
somewhat desperate and unscrupulous people, which today form the basis
of laymen's understanding of Special Relativity. Not realizing that
Einstein never published any "Theory of General Relativity", it is
easy to understand why laymen reading these bits and fragmentary
pieces of an ongoing throught process, and believing that Einstein
published it, become critical of Einstein.
I can understand the basis for that confusion.
In Special Relativity, Einstein stood on the shounder of older
geniuses, like Newton and Maxwell, to went to basics. (Even highshool
student appreciate the genius of Einsteins writings, when read as he
explained his logic. School childred understand his explanation of
Special Relativity, not General Relativity, because Einstein never
completed his work in that area prior to his death.
Oh, I headed into a rant, but it stops here.
