Can a critic of book 100 Years of E=mc2 be without NAME , PLACE and
IDENTITY ?
<further pseudo-scientific babble & blatant advertising snipped>

Somehow I fail to see how Einstein (as well as Feynman, Planck, Newton,
Aristotle, Socrates, Aristarchus and Euclides) would have achieved his
recognized stature as a Great Scientist if he had spammed random newsgroups
with non-relevant garbage. You improved on Einie? Great. I got A's for
physics in high school -- does that mean I'm as intelligent as one of the
aforementioned guys? (Oops--forgot to include a lady. Well... Mme Curie
should do.) I derived the formula for escape velocity when 14 yo., from its
basic d=(at^2)/2. Does this mean I'm more intelligent than, say, Jules
Verne? After all, *he* got his facts wrong -- he supposed you'd only be
"weightless" exactly halfway between the Moon and Earth. And even that
"halfway" is nonsense!
