—“Doolittle starts out by saying that Einstein was revolutionary for saying that “length is not static; it changes according to its placement in the universe”. The Theory of Relativity was NOT invented by Einstein, but by Henri Poircaré….”—
What the f–k does that have to do with anything I said. (a) einstein invented the frame, period, end of story, (b) like all of us he combined recent works of others, into a solution none of them had seen – as do all thinkers, myself included, (c) you clearly are not informed or smart enough to comment on this subject.
Yes, einstein gets an undeserved and disproportionate amount of the credit. It’s equally deserved to Lorentz and Especially Hilbert, who is far smarter than einstein.
Yes, there is a very great similarity between Einstein getting the rewards from what was lorentz and hilbert’s work, just as Zuckerberg is getting rewards from what was the brother’s work.

Likewise, just because I united popper’s falsification, strawson’s performative truth, chomsky’s grammar, and hayek’s law – and explained why poincare, brouwer and bridgman lost the opertionalist argument, doesn’t mean I”m plagiarizing, any more than einstein taking the various works of others, adding to and uniting them.
We all stand on the shoulders of others, and all of us move the needle one step at a time forward. Yes, Poincare and lorentz (and maxwell) solved the underlying problem. But no they couldn’t provide the completion of it. I know your motivation is to discredit their only ‘virtuous’ intellectual amidst the long line of criminal liars all the way back into their origins. But it doesn’t work. It just makes you look stupid.
