Some defamers of Einstein wrongfully charge him with being a nitwit
pretender who stole his work from others. Einstein's own generation of physicists did not believe that. How is this contradiction to be resolved? Simple. The defamers are liars. Below is a testimony from Wolfgang Pauli about Einstein's huge contributions to QM, found in EINSTEIN'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO QUANTUM THEORY, p149--160, Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist, Vol 1. The entire essay is an honor to Einstein's contributions to QM. I offer just one excerpt from it: --- p.155 --- ...... With Bohr's successful application of quantum theory to the explanation of the line spectra of the elements with help of his well-known two "fundamental postulates of quantum theory" (1913), a rapid development started, in the course of which the quantum theory was liberated from the restriction to such particular systems as Planck's oscillators. Therefore the problem arose of deriving Planck's radiation formula using general assumptions holding for all atomic systems in accordance with Bohr's postulates. This problem was solved by Einstein in 1917 in a famous paper [13] which can be considered as the peak of one stage of Einstein's achievements in quantum theory (see also [10] and [11]) and as the ripe fruit of his earlier work on the Brownian movement. With the help of general statistical laws for the spontaneous and induced emission processes and for the absorption processes which are the inverse of the former, he could derive Planck's formula under the assumption of the validity of two general relations between the three co-efficients which determine the frequency of these processes and which, if one of these co-efficients is given, permits the computation of the other two. As these results of Einstein are today contained in all textbooks of quantum theory, it is hardly necessary to discuss here the details of this theory and its later generalization to more complicated radiation processes [15].

How is this contradiction to be resolved? Simple. The defamers are liars. Any Einstein defamer can tell you that the only reason the obviously wrong theory of relativity has been maintained around the world for a hundred years is because of brainwashing and indoctrination in schools where students are taught that theory and made to swear oaths of faith. This is reinforced by the great wealth they gain from propagating the theory, from money generated by the popular lectures at night clubs, and best selling books like _Gravitation_ whose sales are only exceeded by Harry Potter. This, of course, started when Einstein was a powerful and influential patent clerk. How destructive a formal education is to the thinking process can be seen by the fact that even anti-Jewish scientists of pre-WWII Germany had to resort to personal attacks and racial slurs because they couldn't overcome their brainwashing to find the flaws in the theory. Surely, the true science of the future will be given us on Usenet by uneducated ordinary folk with no knowledge of data that has come before, or the problems that past theory tried to overcome. -- "A good plan executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week." -Gen.

Patrick As can be seen, Wolfgang Pauli, who was firmly in the Q.M. camp, used Einstein's achievements in areas other than Relativity, to put Einstein under the Q.M. umbrella. Note that thrust of Pauli's praise focused on the men central to success of Q.M. (Bohr, Planck, and no doubt himself (Pauli)), and that his praise focused on the Q.M. aspects of Einstein's work, (Brownian movement, Bose-Einstein statistics), and note that Pauli, like Bohr, could have been using sarcasm, as Bose was the originator of boson statistics. -- Tom Potter http://tompotter.us |

Well, were Tom 'Potty the Vandal' Potter more familiar with physics, he would know about things like Bose-Einstein condensates and the fact that it was Einstein who proved the quantisation of light as well as matter. Maybe you should read the paper Planck's wrote in 1900. Yoyu mean the paper that he DIDN'T win the Nobel prize for? If you understood physics, you might comprehend that Einstein's 1905 photoelectric effect, which was inspired by the Planck paper, indicates that atoms absorb light in quantum amounts of Planck's action, and that the light that is not absorbed goes on its' merry way. He didn't understand what was going on, all he could do was describe the relationship between frequency and maximum energy of electron emmision. Einstein got the Nobel Prize mainly for figuring out WHY there was this relationship and what the previously mysterious Work Function actually IS. But what does this have to do with the thread, Pauli's left-handed complement of Einstein, and my post? What post would that be? You made no post with a left-handed complement of Einstein by Pauli. You merely HOPED it was. Or, more likely, halucinated it was in your anti-semitic daze. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |

I don't want to name names in general or cast aspersions onto Tom in particular, but contrast Einstein with some of the cranks around here. Einstein didn't like quantum theory, he thought there must be something wrong or incomplete about it. In fact, he tried to bring it down, tried to find contradictions in it with his gedankenexperiments. And yet, he learned the theory. He studied the experimental evidence, he recognized it produced the right numbers, he did useful things with it. Contrast that with someone who deliberately remains ignorant because he doesn't want to learn a theory that he already knows is false, or doesn't even try to find out what kind of experimental backing it has so he'll maybe find out what is and isn't wrong about it, doesn't even try to find out what problems that theory was devised to overcome or why scientists a hundred years ago rejected the cranks' favorite alternatives. They try to explain why a theory is wrong when they don't even know what it says, give some alternative as if nobody had considered it before, and then they wonder why everyone else thinks they're silly, and they call themselves scientists and Einstein a fraud. -- "A good plan executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week." -Gen.
