This is going slightly offtopic, but since you're bringing up this example, can I ask you for a link/citation for that list of physicists? I'm a bit surprised by the story, since Einstein's work was I believe internationally recognised almost immediately.
(Nevertheless, the man was probably worth quite a number of randomly chosen peers indeed :))
- anamax 18y agoI can't find it and I may be mis-remembering, so I'll call it bullshit.
- rtra 18y agoI don't know about those 5000 physicists against Einstein, but: > Einstein was attacked by some with anti-Jewish leanings. When a pamphlet was published entitled 100 Authors Against Einstein, Einstein retorted "If I were wrong, one would be enough." http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Einstein.html http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Einstein.html
