The name "Einstein" evokes images of a good-humoured genius, who
revolutionised our concepts of space, time, energy, mass and motion.
Time named Albert Einstein "person of the century". The language itself
has incorporated "Einstein" into our common vocabulary as a synonym for
extraordinary brilliance. Many consider Einstein to have been the
finest mind in recorded human history.
That is the popular image, fostered by textbooks, the media, and hero
worshiping physicists and historians. However, when one reads the
scientific literature written by Einstein's contemporaries, a quite
different picture emerges: one of an irrational plagiarist, who
manipulated credit for their work.
Einstein is perhaps most famous for the special theory of relativity,
published in 1905 in the German physics journal, Annalen der Physik.
The paper was devoid of references, a fact that Einstein's friend and
Nobel prize winner for physics, Max Born, found troubling.
"The striking point is that it contains not a single reference to
previous literature," Born stated in 1955, before the International
Relativity Conference in Bern. "It gives you the impression of quite a
new venture. But that is, of course, as I have tried to explain, not
true."
Though Einstein's 1905 article contained no references, it was so
strikingly similar to a paper written by Hendrik Lorentz the previous
year, that Walter Kaufmann and Max Planck felt a need to publicly point
out that Einstein had merely provided a metaphysical reinterpretation
and generalisation of Lorentz' scientific theory, a metaphysical
reinterpretation and generalisation Henri Poincare had already
published.
As Charles Nordmann, astronomer to the Paris Observatory, pointed out:
"It is really to Henri Poincare, the great Frenchman whose death has
left a void that will never be filled, that we must accord the merit of
having first proved, with the greatest lucidity and the most prudent
audacity, that time and space, as we know them, can only be relative. A
few quotations from his works will not be out of place. They will show
that the credit for most of the things which are currently attributed
to Einstein is, in reality, due to Poincare."
Einstein acknowledged the fact, but justified his plagiarism in a
cavalier fashion in Annalen der Physik in 1907. "It appears to me that
it is the nature of the business that what follows has already been
partly solved by other authors. Despite that fact, since the issues of
concern are here addressed from a new point of view, I believe I am
entitled to leave out a thoroughly pedantic survey of the literature,
all the more so because it is hoped that these gaps will yet be filled
by other authors, as has already happened with my first work on the
principle of relativity through the commendable efforts of Mr. Planck
and Mr. Kaufmann."
The completed field equations of the general theory of relativity were
first deduced by David Hilbert, a fact Einstein was forced to
acknowledge in 1916, after he had plagiarised them from Hilbert in late
1915. Paul Gerber solved the problem of the perihelion of Mercury in
1898. Physicist Ernst Gehrcke gave a lecture on the theory of
relativity in the Berlin Philharmonic on August 24, 1920, and publicly
confronted Einstein, who was in attendance, with Einstein's plagiarism
of Lorentz' mathematical formalisms of the special theory of
relativity, Palagyi's space-time concepts, Varicak's non-Euclidean
geometry and of the plagiarism of the mathematical solution of the
problem of the perihelion of Mercury first arrived at by Gerber.
Gehrcke addressed Einstein to his face and told the crowd that the
emperor had no clothes.
This was Einstein's response published in the Berliner Tageblatt und
Handels-Zeitung on August 27, 1920, translated into English in the book
Albert Einstein's Theory of General Relativity edited by Gerald E.
Tauber: ". . . Gerber, who has given the correct formula for the
perihelion motion of Mercury before I did. The experts are not only in
agreement that Gerber's derivation is wrong through and through, but
the formula cannot be obtained as a consequence of the main assumption
made by Gerber. Mr Gerber's work is therefore completely useless, an
unsuccessful and erroneous theoretical attempt.
"I maintain that the theory of general relativity has provided the
first real explanation of the perihelion motion of mercury. I have not
mentioned the work by Gerber originally, because I did not know it when
I wrote my work on the perihelion motion of Mercury; even if I had been
aware of it, I would not have had any reason to mention it."
The fact that Einstein was a plagiarist is common knowledge in the
physics community. What isn't so well-known is that the sources
Einstein parroted were also largely unoriginal. In 1919, writing in the
Philosophical Magazine Harry Bateman, a British mathematician and
physicist who had emigrated to the United States, unsuccessfully sought
acknowledgment of his work.
"The appearance of Dr Silberstein's recent article on General
Relativity without the Equivalence Hypothesis encourages me to restate
my own views on the subject," Bateman wrote.
"I am perhaps entitled to do this as my work on the subject of general
relativity was published before that of Einstein and Kottler, and
appears to have been overlooked by recent writers."
My book is a documentation of Einstein's plagiarism of the theory of
relativity. It discloses his method for manipulating credit for the
work of his contemporaries, reprints the prior works he parroted, and
demonstrates that he could not have drawn his conclusions without prior
knowledge of the works he copied but failed to reference.
Numerous republished quotations from Einstein's contemporaries prove
that they were aware of his plagiarism. Side-by-side comparisons of
Einstein's words juxtaposed to those of his predecessors prove the
almost verbatim repetition. There is even substantial evidence
presented in the book that Einstein plagiarised the work of his first
wife, Mileva Maric, who had plagiarised others.
Mr Bjerknes, an American historian of science, has authored six books
on Einstein and the theory of relativity. Albert Einstein: The

So he wrote 6 books about the same topic,
which is impossible without plagiarizing.
Bjerknes plagiarizes himself, obviously,
and plagiarizes others, because he's not the first one

Why did Bjerknes require 6 books to tell one thing?

Were you the first?
> Why did Bjerknes require 6 books to tell one thing?
He required 2 books to do so. I only require the following summary.
** Lorentz transform
When first derived by Larmor, the Lorentz transform has 2 properties.
In his 1905 paper, Einstein reverse-engineered the Lorentz transform.
In doing so, he started with the 2 properties in which he referred to
them as postulates. Then, his derivation of the Lorentz transform was
total nonsense. It was so bad that he had to re-derive it later on in
his book. Again, it was totally nonsense in which we witness the very
transform was conjured out of 2 equations equating zero with zero.
Knowing the answer with faulty derivation is a tell-tale sign of
plagiarism.
** E = m c^2
Also in his 1905 paper, he made a series of blatant mistakes to got to
(E = m c^2). Again, knowing the answer before hand with faulty
derivation can only mean plagiarism.
** Field equations
The Einstein field equations can only be derived through the Lagrangian
Hilbert pulled out of his *ss. It is grossly improbable to have 2
persons coming up with the same BS within a week of each other. In
fact, you will have a better chance of winning the lottery 10 times
straight.

Self-plagiarism only exists in the minds of whiners.

You are correct. Einstein started out as a zealous Zionist. However,
when he heard about the massacres of the two Arab villages where all
women and children were executed in cold blood as well as most of the
men (Some men were deliberately left alive to be paraded through the
streets of Jerusalem. Of course, after the parade, they were executed
as well.), he became very vehemently anti-Zionist. Although Einstein
was a plagiarist in science, he was certainly no evil in moral conducts.
False. Just read the paper and you WILL find embedded references to
previous literature on electrodynamics and mechanics. However, the
paper was written to Einstein's fellow physicists (not to today's
ignorant amateur physics readers who have zero knowledge of the history
of physics up to 1905), who were already experts in the field of
electrodynamics, which, by today's standard, was a very small set of
important papers that didn't need to be explicitly referenced! Any
physicist in 1905 who didn't already know those papers intimately
shouldn't have been reading Einstein's 1905 paper in the first place.

Impressions are not scholarly facts! Einstein set the record straight
in his many essays on physics, such as can be found in his book of
essays, Ideas and Opinions. It was the writiers following Einstein,
writing about his work from a non-historical viewpoint, who destroyed
the truth about what Einstein was trying to accomplish in his
relativity. Unlike Einstein himself, these authors were ignorant about
the history and philosophy of physics, which would have clarified and
dismissed all these pseudo-issues if they had been knowledgeable about
them.

Einstein knew that neither he NOR Poincare invented the PoR. Galileo is
the best choice for that. Einstein was VERY clear about his credit for
the PoR in SR: By making it a postulate of electrodynamics, it could be
used heuristically to find the Lorentz covariant equations of the
physics of inertial frames and electrodynamics as a generalization of
the mechanics of particles given by Newton. Einstein also believed that
the PoR, as an empirical principle of nature, was more fundamental than
ANY model of light propagation. He set out to deconstruct the ether,
and he succeeded.
I snipped the rest of the bullshit lies.

You have been shown exactly where Einstein made his error on (E = m
c^2) in his 1905 paper. Einstein's paper was total BS, and you are a
pathetic liar and a malicious troll.

Einstein turned down an offer to be the president of you know whom. He
also refused to reside in you know where. The Zionists have tried
their best to erase Einstein's anti-Zionist movements in his later
life.

Einstein is not informed or knowledgeable in the A-bomb business.
Einstein in terms of scientific contribution is actually none
existence. The letter to FDR was written by Szillard et al. Einstein
merely signed his name. He was probably tricked to do so. <shrug>
Don't forget. Einstein was also a pacifist during WWI. His stand on
WWII is obviously problematic in which you might have a good point.
