"The world is mad." (Voltaire) Logic and logical reasoning is not the king of science at all. The authority (of God's or satan's) is the king of science. After all, the absolutely logical and technically flawless 1905 AD articles of Prof. Albert Einstein for five years and more did not have the slightest meaning for all the scientists of the world (except for Einstein's Editor and Friend - most famous Prof. Niels Bohr), from their impure and arrogant lips it sounded "he does not even work as a physicist", "he is just a patent clerk", "how dare he argue with Sir Newton?", "This is Jewish science."
Totally untrue.
- Einstein's 1905 papers were received excitedly from the beginning. He was appointed Professor
within 4 years of publishing. That is pretty damned fast acceptance, by anybody's standards.
- Einstein was
not a patent "clerk". I get so fed up with this persistent falsehood. Einstein was a
Patent Office Examiner, a job requiring considerable skill in understanding science and technology and considerable intellect, to identify novelty in what was presented in patent applications. You need a good science degree and skill with words to have any chance of doing it. (Full disclosure: I trained as a patent agent, the lawyer that negotiates with the Patent Office on behalf of inventors.
)
- "Jewish science" was a brief aberration in Nazi Germany alone. The rest of the scientific world thought it absurd and had nothing to do with the idea. (not least because so many of the world's leading physicists were at least part-Jewish: Einstein, Bohr, Pauli, Born, Bethe, Wigner....)
Where do you get this rubbish?
