Those wacky scientists and their integrity

Care to elaborate on this spam?

Funny to see posts about how "Einstein believed in God" one day and "Einstein's a lying plagiarist the next."

Wasn't there a thread where someone mentioned that Einstein was Creationist? Or is that no longer convenient?

I unfortunately actually took the time to read some of that. NP you should really stop wasting anyone time with a dud like this. I stopped half way through the article because a typical argument was like this:

<SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Arial, sans-serif">Poincare provided the "four-dimensional analogue"<SUP>124</SUP> to Lorentz' aether in 1905 and relativized the "Lorentzian ether" in 1895, long before Minkowski or Einstein manipulated credit for his work. The Einsteins' 1905 paper contains no four-dimensional analogue, and is, therefore, a theory of the "unrelativized Lorentzian aether", <I>per se</I>.

. . .An article by "S." had appeared in <I>Nature</I>, Volume 31, Number 804, (March 26, 1885), p. 481, titled, "Four-Dimensional Space", which presented the concepts of "time-space", "four-dimensional solid" ("sur-solid", after Des Cartes), "time-area", and "time-line"; which later became "space-time" ("<I>Zeit-Raum</I>" is a confusing pun in German with the word "<I>Zeitraum</I>"), "absolute world", and "world-line".

. . .In this same lecture, followed by a discussion which is on record,<SUP>131</SUP> Einstein shamelessly parroted Poincare's enquiries into the nature of simultaneity<SUP>132</SUP> and his clock synchronization procedures, without citing Poincare; and Einstein failed to correct those who credited Einstein with the ideas he repeated, which were not his own.

<SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Arial, sans-serif">The guy is merely translating one guy's wroding into Einstein and saying since their phrases "seem similiar" Einstein obviously copied the guy. </SPAN>

The list of true relativists is long. To name but a few: DesCartes, Huyghens, Locke, Leibnitz, Berkeley, Hume, Comte, Spencer, Stallo, Hamilton, Mach, Anderssohn, Avenarius, Petzoldt, etc

<SPAN style="FONT: 12pt Arial, sans-serif">That for me did it. The guy obviously hasn't a clue as to what he's talking about. Locke, Liebniz and Berekley were&nbsp;all theists, only someone who is totally ignorant of philosophy could ever believe these people were relativists. I rule out lying, of course, because anyone capable of it( they would have to know a bit about Locke, Liebniz and Berekley), would see how&nbsp;obviously wrong such a statement was. i.e. only pure ignorance could lead someone to make such a comment. This whole thing is either the work of a boob or a&nbsp;hoax. In either case it hardly warrants the 2 mins I spent on it. &nbsp;
