is Albert Einstein real?
that phrase was unfortunately not entirely invented by Einstein
The whole story is about causal determinism, and indeterminism as an answer to the failure of predictive determinism..
Newtonian mechanics could not operate at the microphysical level so quantum physics have been somehow forced upon us , but it does not necessarily mean the road followed by (Einstein and) other physicists will be a dead end in the future.

Actually, his Nobel was for his work on the photovoltaic effect; Einstein never believed in quantum mechanics, even after the work of Planck and others. His quote on the topic was, "God does not play dice with the universe."
(In Hawking's later work on quantum black hole theory, he quoted Einstein, then replied, "In fact, it would appear that not only does God play dice with the universe, sometimes He throws them where they can't be seen.")
Meh, it was influential in the development of quantum mechanical theory, and may as well be lumped in with it. Einstein may not have liked quantum theory, but he contributed to it nonetheless.

There was a little scene on Family Guy once. Albert Einstein was working at a post office and a guy walks up with an envelope saying something like "Could you mail this theory of reletivity for me?" Albert looks at him and says, "look here. (points to envelope)" He then smashes the guy's neck with the door thingy and runs off with the envelope.
I never got it until now. So Albert stealing his work from someone else is pretty widespread, I guess.

Smith? read below for a funny explanation
"This photograph was taken by UPI photographer Arthur Sasse on March 14, 1951, following an event at Princeton to honor Einstein on his 72nd birthday. While Sasse tried mightily to convince the physicist to smile for the camera, the reaction he received, recorded forever on film, was humorously unexpected! Einstein was so amused by the image that he contacted UPI and requested nine prints for his personal use.
The photo being offered for sale is the one that Einstein gave to Smith, to whom he listened regularly, and is the only one of the nine that has ever been made available for public purchase. The value of the image, with its connection between scientist and newsman, makes it historically significant and gives us insight directly into what Einstein's thoughts were on the image."
(just quoting from Wikianswers)

basically
your dissapointed that einstein didnt figure out ALL of that quantum physics s**t all by himself?
he used sources HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WE'VE BEEN LED INto THE DARK§! !! !!"##

Little mistake, at a patent office....
"The universe was never quite the same again after 1905. Our understanding of space, time, matter and energy was transformed by a 26-year-old civil servant working a 48-hour week at a Swiss patent office. A “respectable Federal ink pisser” was how Albert Einstein described himself. He didn’t even have a PhD.
But at the Patent Office, the man who had failed to find an academic job had a secret drawer – it was, he told his friends, the department of theoretical physics. And in 1905, after six months of intensive thought, five scientific papers emerged from this drawer that would revolutionise the laws of physics."
Just quoting from a worshipper's page http://www.peterdsmith.com/einstein-life-times/

Let me resphrase it: Why are you coming on here calling out people who are dead and gone about plagarism?
Can you disprove his theories? Can you prove without a shadow of a doubt that he was a plagarist? No, you can't.
And, on top of it, I think I can prove you have a misguided disdain for something that has no current social bearing in society.
Einstein AND Freud?
You know what, you say your location is France and you choose to come onto this message board and rip on two very famous Germans.
Ironic, no?
I usually ignore, mean posts, but concerning both guys, I just happen to know a bit about them,
I had another topic in mind
"is Michelangelo real?" but then I thought the joke was getting old....
There is a lot to say on Michelangelo's myth...
I have nothing against german people, btw....I love Goethe, Shopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kafka(ok not really german but writing in german)
I am not attacking those persons literally, but the myth surrounding them....I mean the Idea, not the men ( I am not talking about their private life for instance)
I dislike Sigmund Freud's work....it is true and from the start....I prefer Carl Jung a lot ....but, I am more into phenomenology really.
Concerning Einstein he truly was my hero, but I found several strange things, I quoted, that make me doubt, not that he was brilliant, but that he was a genius...
I am merely quoting web stuff. trying to put direct links when I can.
I'm sorry they both are dead , but they have lots of followers left, I do not hold the truth (I wish I were), so please argue rationally..
They left a trace in History, I am just a wondering little man...
