@metal-brain saidVery.
"I read somewhere that Einstein once said he never looked at or read Poincare's work."
How likely is that?
@metal-brain saidVery.
"I read somewhere that Einstein once said he never looked at or read Poincare's work."
How likely is that?
@humy saidWhy is e=mc2 called Einstein's famous equation? Since Poincare came up with it first shouldn't it be called Poincare's famous equation?
Very.
@metal-brain saidBecause he was the first one to not only deduce but FULLY explain WHY it must be true from relativity. Einstein once said he never looked at or read Poincare's work and I would always believe his word over yours because I have seen no evidence that he was generally dishonest and you have been just plain wrong countless times. There is no evidence that I know of that he knowingly took credit for somebody else's work and you still haven't shown any evidence let alone proven he knowingly took credit for somebody else's work.

@humy saidYou did not answer my question.

There is no evidence that I know of that he knowingly ...[text shortened]... perfectly correct theory. In fact, I can think of one example of such a scientist but not Einstein.
@metal-brain saidNo.
It is customary to at least give credit to the work you are building upon. Did Einstein do that with Lorentz?
I don't think Einstein was honest when he claimed he was not aware of Poincare's work.I don't think you are honest when claiming you think you don't think Einstein was honest when he claimed he was not aware of Poincare's work. This is because you have no rational reason and so far failed to give a said reason, even just a BS said reason, to think he was probably lying and it couldn't be more obvious that you are merely attacking his character because you hate some part of his proven theory and thus him for his proven theory. Why else do you suddenly start attacking his character here instead of trying to attack his proven theory? Its because you have given up attacking his proven theory so hatefully attacking his character is pathetically all you have left. And why should I believe you instead of Einstein? My default assumption should be Einstein was telling the truth and it is you who is lying. Still waiting for you to show evidence that Einstein lied...
@humy saidYou did not answer my question.
No.
Einstein never claimed Lorentz's work was has own and he never denied he built is works on Lorentz and other people's work and you have shown no evidence to the contrary. That is the answer to your question.I don't think Einstein was honest when he claimed he was not aware of Poincare's work.I don't think you are honest when claiming you think you don' ...[text shortened]... g the truth and it is you who is lying. Still waiting for you to show evidence that Einstein lied...

@Metal-Brain
If you believe that so strongly then write a paper and post it to a journal.
We get it. You hate Einstein, consider him a fraud, then put your money where your mouth is and write up your objections.
@metal-brain saidMy answer was "No". That was and still is my answer to your question. Here it is yet again;
You did not answer my question.
@humy saidWasn't that narcissistic of Einstein? He could have given credit where it was due, but he didn't show any consideration to him.
My answer was "No". That was and still is my answer to your question. Here it is yet again;
"No."
And then I elaborate on that answer of "No" with;
" Einstein never claimed Lorentz's work was has own and he never denied he built is works on Lorentz and other people's work and you have shown no evidence to the contrary. "
Have you any idea how stupid you make yourself look?
@metal-brain saidHow would you know he never gave credit? Where you there following him around listening to every word he said in the whole of his adult life so you could check?
He could have given credit where it was due, but he didn't
@humy saidIt is customary to at least give credit to the work you are building upon IN YOUR PAPER. Verbal does not count.
How would you know he never gave credit? Where you there following him around listening to every word he said in the whole of his adult life so you could check?
It is a very reasonable assumption given the complete absence of evidence for him being dishonest that he gave credit and I am still waiting to see you show your said evidence to the contrary...
So why do you now hat ...[text shortened]... credit for his great works the likes of which you have never come close to achieving and never will.
@metal-brain saidIt just depends but often isn't. Certainly Not, as is true in this case, if it is ALREADY common scientific knowledge who created the work that work your work was built upon else that would be just completely moronic to state those already well known facts in the book. For example, his work was partly built upon calculus at least in the narrow sense he used it in his work. But it would have been completely moronic for him to explicitly say so in his book and explicitly list all the people that created calculus as all us NON-morons OBVIOUSLY ALREADY KNOW other people created calculus, not him, and, OBVIOUSLY, HE KNEW we already knew that thus him not explicitly giving credit to those other people to either calculus or anything else we OBVIOUSLY ALREADY KNOW other people created such as Newtonian physics and other physics etc that he built his work on is NOT, to all us NON-morons, an indicator that he took credit for those things and you have to be a complete MORON to honestly think otherwise.

@metal-brain saidWhat? 'Most' people aren't aware that Einstein was NOT the one that invented calculus and Newtonian physics etc and would be so STUPID to also assume he was if he didn't explicitly say he wasn't? That's totally absurd. I guess what you call 'Most' people excludes all people that have had an education and also excludes all people that have an I.Q. greater than 70 and only includes people that are both ignorant and moronic to the extreme. As far as I am aware, I have never met or known such an ignorant and moronic person that would assume this and not sure if any such person exists anywhere on Earth.
Most people are unaware.
