You do realize that Einstein was only 16 years old at that time right?
LOL!!

This is a very stupid comment is not?

It is publishing year not the year when Einstein read.

What issue of physics today are you refering to?

Replied.

Even if Einstein was reading those articles, which were at a level of
knowledge that Einstein had not yet gathered, what makes you think he
remebered such a comment from 10 years ago?

more stupid comments.

he and Stark claimed to have no knowledge of this paper. How do you think
Einstein got Stark to lie for him? If its possible that Stark was unware of
Poincare's work then why do you think its impossible that Einstein wasn't?
In 1895 Poincare had not yet formulated a theory of relativity. If he did
then that is public domain knowledge. For some reason Einstein knew of
Lorentz's work but he didn't even cite him although he explicitly mentions
the Lorentz transformation.

More stupid comments. Read the physics today article.

So you're saying that Einstein started gathering ideas about a direction
he'd didn't know that he'd take in 10 years, when he was 16 years old and
supposedly reading articles that he couldn't possibly understand? Sorry. I
find that impossible to believe.

No i did not say that stupid idea. You invented it.

Its interesting to note this comment made my Professor Chris Linton at

http://mathforum.org/kb/plaintext.jspa?messageID=3984412

Only expresses opinion. Others claim the contrary.

"The alleged plagiarism by Einstein of Poincare has been the subject of much
research, and has been discredited."

But he does not show that.

Sorry Juan but your boat seems to have a few leaks. :)

Another of your "solid" opinions?
