IMHO Einstein is a dubious char to me. Its a little known fact
that in 1905, when Albert's papers on relativity were submitted,
they were signed EINSTEIN-MARITY which was his wife's name. She
also received ALL the money from his Nobel Prize in 1922. Marity
Mileva was able to take all the previous information on light
waves, electromagnetism, atomic theory, and synthesize them into
what became known as the special and general theories of
relativity. Even Einstein himself didn't understand any of
it.
