How a simple error made Einstein famous. A century ago, Albert Einstein became famous overnight. It wasn’t from his experiments, theory of relativity, or his Nobel Prize. Einstein’s fame in the United States came from a media mistake.
Thanks; that's very helpful. Any objections if I were to restack your post to my Substack followers? I'm going to mention this in an upcoming post, but I won't be going into this level of detail, and I think my readers would be very interested.
This while may be true, misses the point of how easily stupid people are led into the abyss by the manipulation of the Oligarchs & Big Business- Einstein’s GR SR “Relativity” is garbage - Gravity as “Curved Space Time” is madness- He used a made up Pseudo-Tensor to “Balance “ his insane equation, most likely copied/altered from Henry Poinicare - Science is in total disarray BC of dumb as dirt idiot sheep-
Washington Times reporter or Washington Post? The beginning says Times. I’m a bit flabbergasted that the reporter didn't speak to people in the crowd, this would never have been misreported if he had.
Really enjoyed this piece. I'd only seen the Einstein photo you shared in the cropped version before. Can you tell me where you found it?
Thanks Hans! I just looked in my files, and I don't remember or still have the notes on where it came from. But here is a clean version of that full photo. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F1-vqvSLJJ2G4_6EYa87VUvrHYSv1t4P/view?usp=sharing

Please do and thanks for restacking it.
Targeting Thursday February 9. Thank you!

Yet another demonstration of why eyewitnesses are often the worst sources for useful, accurate information on events.

Thanks for catching that typo. Should have said Post like the quote later on. It's updated now.
