This is a good example of why I don't read/pay attention to Tom's
comments.
If 2+2 = 4 in 1948 then just because its 2008 there is no reason to
suspect
that 2+2 does not equal 4.

In this case Einstein's arguement is far from
being time dependant since none of the material in his arguement would
hinge
on such arguements

That's wrong. The understanding of General Relativity has *advanced*
since 1948.

Please state the specific advancements which proved that Einstein was wrong.
Also state what advancements proved that Weinberg is wrong.

Yes, if Einstein was stating a mathematical theorem, then
no, it would still be a theorem today (although it is very likely that
it would be formulated in different language). But Einstein's remarks
were not of the character of a mathematical theorem.

His comments were about the connection between math and physics and that has
never changed. Please prove that Einstein was wrong.
