You overlook the fact that Einstein was a great odds with quantum
physics. He also had nothing to do with DNA nor with semi-conductors. He
and Szillard did patent a refrigerator. Einstein had nothing to do with
digital computers and compression codes. His buddy von Neuman did have a
great deal to do with computers. Radio was invented (as a practical
technology) by Tesla. TV was invented by Farnsworth.

IMO, a modern fridge invention is the best that Einstein made (human*s
live 10 y. longer).
It is unbelived, how could He (as a fabulist, however very known).

Potter you forgot the most important item:
1. Dingleberries - Einstein
one of which is manifest in Kike Kolker who claims
to be 5.5x smarter then the Goyim. But naturally Kike
Kolker is not smart enough to realize in his kikeivity
that Potter, with/by/thru his list is mocking Einstein
and his Dingleberries (as seen in concurrent posts)
who do behave like Al Gore and "his" internet:

"On December 2, 1922, in Sorbonne, France, Edwin Belin, an Englishman, who
held the patent for the transmission of photographs by wire as well as fiber
optics and radar, demonstrated a mechanical scanning device that was an
early precursor to modern television. Belin’s machine took flashes of light
and directed them at a selenium element connected to an electronic device
that produced sound waves. These sound waves could be received in another
location and remodulated into flashes of light on a mirror. "
That's a fax machine, not a TV.
"On March 25, 1925, Baird held his first public demonstration of
'television' at the London department store Selfridges on Oxford Street in
London."
That's low definition closed circuit TV.
"Zworykin is usually credited as being the father of modern television. This
was because the patent for the heart of the TV, the electron scanning tube,
was first applied for by Zworykin in 1923, under the name of an iconoscope."
Applying for a patent for something that doesn't yet work is premature.
"Farnsworth was the first of the two inventors to successfully demonstrate
the transmission of television signals, which he did on September 7, 1927"
Adding radio transmission (already invented by Marconi) converts CCTV
to TV.
As I understand it, 1925 came before 1927.
Yes, I'm quite sure about that, althought there may be some grey area
as to when facsimile image by telephone becomes CCTV and CCTV
becomes high definition Colour Cable TeleVision. When does
"improvement" become "invention"? Did Werner von Braun "invent"
the Saturn V or is it an improved German V2?

The Chinese invented gunpowder. All guns are powered by something
derived from gunpowder. Therefor the Chinese invented all guns.

And various mathematics is used to describe electromagnetic radiation.
The light bulb and radio were invented, light and RF were discovered.

Well this is terrific reference given that it lists Marconi as the
inventor or radio! But they are correct about the "invention of TV
being vague and indeterminant. TV was around in the 1920s. And yes,
there were actual commercial broadcasts! The scanning was mechanical
(spinning disk with spiral holes) and the image ended up about 1 inch
square. Non-mechanical electronic TV which would be classified as the
beginning of "modern" TV was between Zworkin and old Philo T. I can
tell you from first hand experience the Zworkin Iconoscopes were a
total POS suitable only for smeary images in bright sunlight! The
high gain Philo tubes produced broadcast quality images in reasonable
light levels. They were rather prone to "burn" however, from bright
light. But as for an "inventor" of TV, I doubt there is one. mostly it
was a long steady climb of small improvements building upon previous
art.
*I* worked in the early days of television!
We should mention that in addition to the Internet, Algore also
invented AGW!

1. Anthropogenic Global Warming - Algore

3. Telemarketing - Einstein
4. Bass Guitar - Einstein

6. Analog computers -Einstein
7. Tubes/valves - Einstein

9. Burning food for vehicle fuel - Einstein
10. LSD and all other psychoactive drugs - Einstein
But the real question is just WHO of the myriad array of people in
this newsgroup who are "smarter than Einstein" are going to be getting
credit for the major inventions of the NEXT century?
hhc...@yahoo.com
Beng,, get a grip. Every other reader of this newsgroup except you
takes this thread as a joke, and properly so. Obviously Al Gore did
not invent the internet, nor did Einstein invent either television or
the Bass Guitar.
Nobody really cares if anone is smarter than Einstein, simply because
Einstein, as gifted as he was, was only one of many, many contributers
to the advancements in scintific knowledge made during the past
century.
I'f you don't understand this, it would be a poor idea for you to give

The courts later decided that Tesla had the better claim.
It wasn't until 1943—a few months after Tesla's death— that the U.S.
Supreme Court upheld Tesla's radio patent number 645576.

China actually invented most everything under the sun.
None of which had been derived by mensa or having otherwise been
contributed to by way of mensa.

I think I figured out how the Chinese came to discover gunpowder.
I noticed that Chinese ham pops like tiny firecrackers
when it is fried.
The Chinese are great at experimenting,
particularly with food and health.
I suspect that Chinese cooks
experimenting with flavoring meat
noticed that certain combinations
of the spices caused more active "popping",
and at some point, some enterprising guy
capitalized on it by optimizing the "pop"
by selling the idea,
that his "popping" toys drove away evil spirits.
Tom Potter
Good question!
I suggest that if Jews control society
in the 21st Century,
that they will stick with Einstein.
If Muslims control society
in the 21st Century,
they will give credit to Allah.
If the Chinese control society
in the 21st Century,
they will give credit to Mao.
If English control society
in the 21st Century,
they will give credit to who the mass media
conditions them to.
If Germans control society
in the 21st Century,
they will give credit to the inventors.

Since it's not an invention other than three syllables
nailed together by comp.sci idiots, it would have to be.
> 2. The GPS System - Einstein
Einstein theories had as much to do with GPS and they do
with Hubble
Which is why most of physics is still just called make-it-up-
as
you-go-along moron Olympic filme coverage, rather than
science.

Einstein only invented the mirrors. the light and power

If physics morons had anything to do with digital
computers,
they would have called them computers. Since the only
thing physics makes is morons with hard disks.
