Who is smarter than Einstein?

no.

einstein’s miracle year 1905

no 1 before or since has equaled einstein’s 1905 miracle year

match this:

in 1905, einstein 26, patent examiner, working on physics on own. after hours, creates special theory of relativity, in demonstrates measurements of time , distance vary systematically moves relative else. means newton wrong. space , time not absolute, , relativistic universe inhabit not 1 newton "discovered."

that's pretty good, 1 idea, spectacular, not make demigod. add rest of einstein did in 1905:

in march, einstein creates quantum theory of light, idea light exists tiny packets, or particles, call photons. alongside max planck's work on quanta of heat, , niels bohr's later work on quanta of matter, einstein's work anchors shocking idea in 20th-century physics: live in quantum universe, 1 built out of tiny, discrete chunks of energy , matter.

next, in april , may, einstein publishes 2 papers. in 1 invents new method of counting , determining size of atoms or molecules in given space, , in other explains phenomenon of brownian motion. net result proof atoms exist—still issue @ time—and end millennia-old debate on fundamental nature of chemical elements.

, then, in june, einstein completes special relativity, adds twist story: einstein's march paper treated light particles, special relativity sees light continuous field of waves. alice's red queen can accept many impossible things before breakfast, takes supremely confident mind so. einstein, age 26, sees light wave , particle, picking attribute needs confront each problem in turn. that's tough.

and, of course, einstein isn't finished. later in 1905 comes extension of special relativity in einstein proves energy , matter linked in famous relationship in physics: e = mc2. (the energy content of body equal mass of body times speed of light squared.) @ first, einstein not grasp full implications of formula, suggests heat produced radium mark conversion of tiny amounts of mass of radium salts energy.

in sum, amazing outburst: einstein's 1905 still evokes awe. historians call annus mirabilis, miracle year. einstein ranges smallest scale largest (for special relativity embodied in motion throughout universe), through fundamental problems nature of energy, matter, motion, time, , space—all while putting in 40 hours week @ patent office.

is there in science today makes einstein idiot?
