Albert Einstein
- Einstein misunderstood Newton’s theory of motion and built his theories on this misunderstanding
- It remains to substantiate this claim.
Einstein and Newton’s supernatural occult force of attraction
- Newton used his authority and propaganda to establish his atomic materialist quasi-religious dogma as the only true nature.
- The entire humanity learns at school that the world is made of units of matter called atoms and these units of matter interact with Newton’s supernatural force.
- So we “see”, as if it were true, a force located in the center of the earth pulling the stone only because Newton said so.
- Newton’s authority is unquestionable.
- Even Einstein whose motivation for developing his theories was to remove Newton’s supernatural force from physics.
- But even against Einstein Newton won.
- Even though Einstein defined his theory of gravity as a forceless gravity where no force acts instantaneously from a distance like Newton’s force today General Relativity is a forceful theory.
- Newton and Newtonians won.
- They even planted Newtonian flag the so-called Newton’s universal force of gravitation into Einstein’s field equations.
- But Einstein misunderstood Newton in some key points.
- I think it is very important that Einstein realized that Newton’s force was supernatural and did not belong to physics but he was unable to remove Newtonism from physics.
- Why?
- Why is Newtonian supernatural force still exist in physics?
- I think this is a disgrace for modern physics to harbor and be proud of for harboring Newtonian supernatural force in physics.
- But physicists make up all kinds of stories to hide this fact. They say General Relativity reduces to Newton in the Newtonian realm, etc., etc.
Einstein: “Space is dead. Long live spacetime”
Olivier Heavisite quote about Einstein
Have you heard about this quote by Olivier Heaviside about Einstein, “I really think that Einstein is a practical joker, pulling the legs of his enthusiastic followers, more Einsteinisch than he”? Can you comment what Heaviside means here? And in what context this quote was said?
I need to be transparent with you - while Heaviside and Einstein were both prominent figures in physics, I’m hesitant to confidently verify this specific quote or its context. The quote appears to suggest that Heaviside thought Einstein was being deliberately provocative or obscure, perhaps implying that Einstein’s followers were taking his ideas more seriously or literally than Einstein himself intended. The word “Einsteinisch” seems to be a play on words, suggesting Einstein’s followers were trying to be “more Einstein than Einstein himself.”
However, since this is quite an obscure historical quote, I should note that I may be hallucinating some details here and could be misinterpreting or misattributing it. For proper verification, I’d recommend checking historical records or Heaviside’s published works and correspondence.
What interests me about this alleged quote, if authentic, is how it reflects the skepticism that some established physicists had toward Einstein’s revolutionary ideas when they were first proposed. Would you happen to know when this quote was supposedly made?
