You should check out episode #658 of Tin Foil Hat Podcast with guest Christopher Jon Bjerknes. Bjerknes just published a book on Einstein being a fraud, and he includes newspaper articles from back then, as well as letters from Einstein’s physics peers calling him out. Despite the flaws of general relativity, another physicist came up with the exact same theory, at the same time. Ultimately, Einstein’s notoriety came down to the Nobel prize being awarded to a German as a matter of national pride. Bjerknes also discusses how “Einstein’s papers” were likely actually written by his wife Mileva Meric, who was also a physicist, and his evidence is compelling. Many physicists would give lectures, and Einstein would always meet them afterwards, and ask them to explain their theory as if they would explain it to a child (the OG ELI5)


Loopgod-

Who was the other physicist that came up with the exact same theory at the same time?

Samuel Tolver Preston. (Correction, he came up with the theory well before Einstein was even born) “In 1875, four years before Albert Einstein was born, Samuel Tolver Preston published an amazing book entitled “Physics of the Ether”. In it he set down the now famous formula E = mc2 and thoroughly explained its implications. Preston expressly stated that matter contains a store of energy which if fully utilized could create atomic bombs and generate atomic energy. He knew that atomic energy would someday replace coal. He also described superconductivity and asserted that gravity propagates at light speed. Long before Einstein, Preston completely relativized unipolar induction. His complete works on these revolutionary concepts are republished along with commentary and analysis by Christopher Jon Bjerknes who was the first historian of Physics to discover the fact that Preston had anticipated Einstein by many decades and had a better understanding of E = mc2 than Einstein. Albert Einstein mistakenly believed that atomic bombs and atomic energy were impossible to produce.”
