Someone beat Einstein to his ideas by like 2 years. He may have jacked it all. But I think he shat on Israel or pre-Israel once, I dig that part.

me thinks you missed it..

einsteins theory of relativity hinged upon light being the fastest thing

his theory is shit without it, and well the theory is without it after quantum physics

that shit never made any sense, light is same speed for every frame of reference? Can't be, it must just seem like that because of some other phenomenon going on, maybe having to do with that quantum mechanics.

it is all theoretical .. tesla pointed out that folks had gotten lost in theory and lost sight of reality.

guess who has more useful and applicable inventions that we actually use..

I think it's like obscurantism, if academics make up stuff that makes no sense but they publish long confusing papers about it, they can get money from colleges and have long careers based on nothing.
