http://www.techinsider.io/kavli-prize-winners-2016-6 "Nine scientists just won an award that's worth more than a Nobel Prize, earning a cool $1 million for their cutting-edge research. Called the Kavli Prize, these lofty awards... [...] The three winners in astrophysics this year were Ronald Drever, Kip Thorne, and Rainer Weiss. The trio won for detecting the ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves — arguably the most remarkable scientific achievement of the year, if not the past 100 years. "This detection has, in a single stroke and for the first time, validated Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity for very strong fields..." http://news.mit.edu/2016/rainer-weiss-awarded-shaw-prize-astronomy-0601 "Weiss will share the $1.2 million prize with Kip Thorne, Caltech’s Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics, emeritus; and Ronald Drever, emeritus professor of physics at Caltech. Together, they are cited by the Shaw Foundation “for conceiving and designing the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), whose recent direct detection of gravitational waves opens a new window..." http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/04/science/ligo-gravitational-wave-breakthrough-prize-yuri-milner.html "LIGO Gravitational Wave Researchers to Divide $3 Million. The three ringleaders of the gravitational-wave experiment, known as LIGO, Ronald P. Drever and Kip. S. Thorne of the California Institute of Technology, and Rainer Weiss of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will split $1 million. The other $2 million will be split among 1,012 scientists who were authors of the article in Physical Review Letters, or who made major contributions to the study of gravitational waves." http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-05/iau-ro2050416.php "In addition to a cash award of $500 000, to be shared equally between Drever, Thorne and Weiss, each of the three will receive a gold medal and a citation that reads: The Gruber Foundation proudly presents the 2016 Cosmology Prize to Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne, Ronald Drever, and the entire LIGO team for pursuing a vision to observe the universe in gravitational waves, leading to a first detection that emanated from the collision of two black holes." Now Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Ronald Drever are wating for the Nobel prize but hope to be given a few more millions in the meantime: http://motls.blogspot.bg/2016/02/ligo-journal-servers-behind-scenes.html " On September 9th, the LIGO folks were already convinced that they would discover the waves soon. Some of them were thinking what they would buy for the Nobel prize and all of them had to make an online vote about the journal where the discovery should be published. It has to be Physical Review Letters because PRL (published by the APS) is the best journal for the Nobel-prize-caliber papers, the LIGO members decided. Five days later, Advanced LIGO made the discovery. Four more days later, as you know, they officially started Advanced LIGO. ;-) " Pentcho Valev

LIGO conspirators are given a lot of money for discovering ripples in spacetime; other Einsteinians are given a lot of money for discovering that spacetime does not exist and should be "retired": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U47kyV4TMnE Nima Arkani-Hamed (06:11): "Almost all of us believe that space-time doesn't really exist, space-time is doomed and has to be replaced by some more primitive building blocks." https://edge.org/response-detail/25477 What scientific idea is ready for retirement? Steve Giddings: "Spacetime. Physics has always been regarded as playing out on an underlying stage of space and time. Special relativity joined these into spacetime... [...] The apparent need to retire classical spacetime as a fundamental concept is profound..." https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-185331159.html "That lecture, by the German mathematician Hermann Minkowski, established a new arena for the presentation of physics, a new vision of the nature of reality redefining the mathematics of existence. The lecture was titled Space and Time, and it introduced to the world the marriage of the two, now known as spacetime. It was a good marriage, but lately physicists passion for spacetime has begun to diminish. And some are starting to whisper about possible grounds for divorce." http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20727721.200-rethinking-einstein-the-end-of-spacetime.html "Rethinking Einstein: The end of space-time [...] The stumbling block lies with their conflicting views of space and time. As seen by quantum theory, space and time are a static backdrop against which particles move. In Einstein's theories, by contrast, not only are space and time inextricably linked, but the resulting space-time is moulded by the bodies within it. [...] Something has to give in this tussle between general relativity and quantum mechanics, and the smart money says that it's relativity that will be the loser." https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22730370-600-why-do-we-move-forwards-in-time/ "[George] Ellis is up against one of the most successful theories in physics: special relativity.

Einstein did _not_ build an atomic bomb; he urged Eisenhower in a letter to support the development of one (which led to the Manhattan Project in which Einstein did _not_ participate in any way), but only to have one to have a *strategic* advantage over *Nazi Germany*; not for using it against Germany (or its allies, in this case Japan). Einstein was a pacifist at heart; he sought to achieve a balance of powers with this, having learned from his Hungarian colleague that Nazi Germany, through its then-recent conquests, would soon be able to complete the construction of an atomic bomb. Later he was horrified that the atomic bomb not only was built but actually used, and regretted having written that letter. That Einstein built or had helped building an atomic bomb is only what the “Starmaker” troll, that you have been feeding by crossposting across 4 newsgroups *without* Followup-To, wants to believe or pretends to believe. As for E = mc² (you cannot write it properly; do you even know what it means and where it comes from?), you could not have been writing this without it as everything in technology that enables you to submit postings depends on special relativity. Starting with nuclear fission reactors that (unfortunately, but still) produce the majority of electricity required for computers in developed countries. And even if you would depend solely on solar energy (which would be better), then you should be grateful to Einstein because he researched and explained the underlying photoelectric effect which started quantum mechanics (another set of theories without which there would be no microcomputers). > He told everybody....patent everything. He did _not_ do that *either*. From which yellow press toilet seat do you get your "information" from?

Correction and clarification, then: The President of the United States of America to whose office Albert Einstein (1879–1955) forwarded a letter written by Leo Szilárd, signed by Einstein so that the latter must be assumed to have endorsed it thereby, to develop an atomic bomb, was not Dwight D. Eisenhower; it was the 32nd President, Franklin D. Roosevelt (in office: 1933–1945). Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States (in office: 1951/1952) under whose administration the hydrogen bomb was under development instead.

Actually it was the president at that time, Roosevelt, and he signed but didn't write the letter. Eisenhower was still off in the Philipines or somewhere else irrelevant. The letter didn't urge the building of bomb. It stated the possibility that something might be done with the newly discoverred fission in Germany, and Germany seemed suddenly interested in Uranium. It suggested the US government decide what to do with the research being done in the US. -- Any one who has common sense will remember that the bewilderments of the eye are of two kinds, and arise from two causes, either from coming out of the light or from going into the light, which is true of the mind's eye, quite as much as of the bodily eye.

For some reason, yous people don't understand reality.

Einsteinians are usually making career and money by singing "Divine Einstein" and "Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lE-I2I4i00 "No-one's as dee-vine as Albert Einstein not Maxwell, Curie, or Bohr!

In fact, the two main methods of quantization, namely, canonical quantization method due to Dirac and Feynman's path integral method are based on classical constraints which become operators annihilating the physical states, and on the sum over all possible classical trajectories, respectively. Therefore, both quantization methods rely on the Newton global and absolute time. (...) The transition to (special) relativistic quantum field theories can be realized by replacing the unique absolute Newtonian time by a set of timelike parameters associated to the naturally distinguished family of relativistic inertial frames." http://www.hindawi.com/journals/isrn/2013/509316/ "In quantum mechanics, time is absolute. The parameter occurring in the Schrödinger equation has been directly inherited from Newtonian mechanics and is not turned into an operator. In quantum field theory, time by itself is no longer absolute, but the four-dimensional spacetime is; it constitutes the fixed background structure on which the dynamical fields act. GR is of a very different nature. According to the Einstein equations (2), spacetime is dynamical, acting in a complicated manner with energy momentum of matter and with itself. The concepts of time (spacetime) in quantum theory and GR are thus drastically different and cannot both be fundamentally true." Pentcho Valev

In real life, on the other hand, scientists simply do the work. Like any other domain of human activity, it's obviously not entirely devoid of some negative factors but it's nothing warranting any special attention, especially from emotionally disturbed individuals like you. -- Jan
