1.0étoiles sur 5 A Jerky Book, Déc 27 2007
Do an Internet search on Christopher Jon Bjerknes and you will quickly learn all you need to learn about him and his credibility regarding Einstein.

I recommend Ronald Clark's biography of Einstein. There you can find much information about how Einstein developed his theories and whose worked aided him in that process.

I have given Bjerknes' book 1 star but only because I was forced to give it at least that. It really rates about a minus 5 stars.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Stop believing in "heroic myths"., Fév 8 2004
Par Holden (Massachusetts) - Voir tous mes commentaires
If you're the type of person who believes that Einstein came up with his monumental works entirely on his own, then chances are you also believe Newton "discovered" gravitation from spending some time one summer at a farm.

If the book should have taught us anything it is this: an individual's ego at times mask the true origin of a person's thought, whether it be a minute clue captured from a loose discussion over coffee, or merely observing an "accident" in nature.

Einstein once visited the Hoover Dam. Upon gazing at the engineering marvel, he "confidently" told the world that it wouldn't last beyond forty years. Would he be willing to bet his Nobel Prize on his prediction? In the mid 1990s he was proven wrong. Do we ever hear anything about that? No. Because we are so fixated on the heroic myth...Einstein is human. He made mistakes, academic as well as personal. And he has been proven wrong.

If you step out into the real world for once (leave the hallow halls of academia) and enter into, say the engineering arena, you'll see many people receiving credit for the things they did not do and your anger may even boil over.

History isn't fair, but it is "very accurate" in documenting our "egos", in so far as we allow it.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Einstein's Theory of Relativity Still a Masterpiece, Oct. 17 2003
Par Un client
Before we jump to conclusions as to whether Einstein plagiarized the Theory of Relativity, it must be said at the outset that the theory itself is excruciatingly complex. We have to trace the idea back to its original idea. This may be difficult to prove in a pure sense as many were involved in the formulation of it by bits and pieces.Poincare came up with the idea and Lorentz also had a hand in its development. Elements of the theory had its roots even in the calculus.

Admittedly it is difficult to draw a line where somebody left off and somebody else creates a "new" theory or an original idea. Einstein was the first to collate all the syntheses of the theory into a "calculus of the theory of relativity". No one had done this before. And Einstein was the first to extend and apply the theory to the physical universe itself. Lorentz and Poincare were pure mathematicians, not physicists.

At one time, Einstein enlisted the help of the famous mathematician Kurt Godel. Godel said, "I don't know physics" but Einstein said, "I know physics and you know mathematics". Afterwards Godel went to work for Einstein.

As we all know in science, we all stand "on the shoulders of others". No one, I repeat, no one is the supreme genius of all time.

Yes, of course, Einstein should have acknowledged his sources for his theory. I am sure he was aware of the literature, otherwise he would not have known where the others left off and where he was to begin.

In his time, when his theory was first published, everyone was astonished and that's why he was so controversial.Everyone at the time knew it was something different and as it turned out later, great!
