You can fool all the people some of the time (I was fooled for a long time,
I admit it)
some of the people all of the time (relativists are still taken in by it
today)
but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.
When you know something is wrong, and many people have raised paradox upon
paradox so we know something is wrong, the correct approach is to
investigate and locate the source of the problem, not try to patch up a
faulty theory that you want to believe in.
Einstein was either smart enough to produce a rabbit out of a hat on paper
and the greatest mathemagician of all time, or idiot savant.
Consider:
a = b
ab = b^2 (multiply by b)
ab-a^2 = b^2-a^2 (subtract a^2)
a(b-a) = (b+a)(b-a) (factorize)
a = b+a (cancel b-a)
a = a+a (because b = a, given)
a = 2a (sum a+a)
1=2 (divide by a)
That isn't so very different from
c = (c+w)/(1+w/c) if we declare w = c.
1 = (1+1)/(1+ 1/1).
What do you do? Look for the blunder or accept 2 =1?
Einstein's divide-by-zero has been found.
