A Criticism of Einstein and His Problem

 

Einstein Criticized

“Every science is created by an act of wilful abstraction; one might almost say, by a determination to ignore most of the facts.

Every science, therefore, destroys its own value as soon as it forgets its own appointed limitations.

The world was not created with a pair of compasses, not yet by the inverse calculation of distances and squares. Skimming lightly over the surface of the universe, mathematics and physics may gather up many fragments of knowledge for the instruction and use of mankind.

Only when, confounding appearance with reality, they suppose themselves to have reached the heart of the mystery, does the resemblance between these distinguished sciences and nonsense become almost perilously complete.”

W. H. V. (William Henry Vincent), 1872-1943

A Beggar Clothed in Purple

“Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists.”

– Nikola Tesla
