It would be difficult to plagiarise general relativity. For several years after its publication, there were perhaps 2 people in the world that understood it.
At the time Einstein developed his theory, the concept of curved spacetime was pretty counterintuitive. In fact, when the English astronomer Arthur Eddington was asked in 1919 whether it was true that only three people in the world understood general relativity, he supposedly replied: “Who’s the third?” Such was the complexity of Einstein’s groundbreaking theory.
Similarly, there were only a few people pushing forwards quantum electrodynamics, so you'd need to construct a pretty focused espionage system to claim that Feynman (or Schwinger or Tomonaga) were plagiarising.

What about the years before its publication?

Even fewer would have understood it, because no one could have even read it.

Albert Einstein published the theory of special relativity in 1905, building on many theoretical results and empirical findings obtained by Albert A. Michelson, Hendrik Lorentz, Henri Poincaré and others. --your bible

I agree that special relativity was more obvious.
But when I said "It would be difficult to plagiarise general relativity" I was talking about general relativity.
Or don't you know that they're different?
Special relativity was time dilation and length contraction, both of which are consequences of Maxwell's equations.
General relativity is a whole theory of gravitation explained by mass distorting spacetime, so that the geometry of the universe is a riemann manifold. This explains time dilation and length contraction, but also gravitation, predicts black holes, the big bang and gravity waves. With a minor addition (well, a whole extra dimension, but you can do that in a riemann manifold) it also unifies the forces of electricity and magnetism.

You speak english and read it. Good job. I guess it's not impossible.

What?

Why does a man of science waste his days arguing politics on the fringes of the internet?

I'd like to see more science based policy in politics.

Me too. Like ending climate and assault rifle alarmism.
