He was a Jew which isn't mutually exclusive with being an atheist. Although, he wasn't an atheist as well. He believed in a pantheistic conception of God that revealed itself in the truth of nature (therefor his love for Spinoza).

Also, how can certain forms of antisemitism exist when Einstein is literally the modern equivalent for genius and many scientific developments are because of his mind only.

Adding to that, he the lived a honorable and moral life despite of being persecuted for his Judaism.

Not sure if I understand modern-antisemitism.

He was no genius. First he plagiarized GR from goyim scientists, second he did not create any scientific development or invented anything, third GR is wrong and if you can't tell why you're a fool.

Good for him. I don't care about his shit taste, even if he is a genius that revolutionized modern physics. It doesn't turn shit to gold.

This post is just massive cope. I agree that Einstein's taste in books is overrated and he is basically a celebrity that gets all the credit for what a whole group of people (him included) did, but how can you unironically defend this autistic thesis without devolving into /pol/ack tier ad hominems against the fact that he was a Jew?

Did I say anything about him being a Jew? No. That is obvious given that he plagiarized "goyim" (what (((they))) call us aka cattle and inb4 "it means nations" no it doesn't as used by (((them)))) scientists. As for realizing GR is wrong, it takes not being a midwit follower of the cult of scientism. If you can't see through the bullshit of "spacetime" then you're a fucking idiot.

>As for realizing GR is wrong, it takes not being a midwit follower of the cult of scientism.
Scientism has absolutely nothing to do with GR being wrong or right. One is an an extremely flawed view of the role of science which raises it to a religion and the other is a scientific model that had the proper theoretical and empirical backing to show it is a good model for the time bring until a better model is found.

GR is a model which assumes things which generally aren't true in classical/everyday mechanics (extremely high gravitational forces, objects traveling at near light speed). Of course you won't experience GR in everyday life and it would take you longer than the life of the universe in order for such differences to matter. Stop shitposting and read a book on physics and the philosophy of science, namely one by Paul Feyerabend or Thomas Kuhn since it's clear you know fucking nothing about either subject. I swear, /pol/ fucking rots people's brains and makes them think they are the new Einstein.

He's a very important scientist yes but he's only viewed that way because the media memed him into it.

True but you could say that about any major scientist really. Einstein "stood on the shoulders of giants" no less than Newton did.

Who cares about what some scientist liked reading in his leisure time? Does have anything intersting to say about those works? No, and even he he had anything to say about them, I doubt it would be illuminating in any way since scientists rarely do. Einstein is overrated anyway. Fuck this old jew.
