It’s not. That’s the thing. If it’s relevant now, it’s because you said it. Not I.

I never said that, wtf

Yes, that’s my point. Keep up.

You mean that testosterone supplement commercial from the ‘00s? /s

You’re right, the simple existence of opposition does not invalidate your point. And honestly, I don’t think there’s any point I could make that can’t be simply (and fairly) deflected with “well that’s just a fringe group”, or “that’s just a few angry antisemitic scientists”. The history as I have read and understood it is that the resentment for Einstein grew and spread nearly as quickly as his supporters until the ‘40s, when it wasn’t quite so kosher to hate on Jewish people anymore.

Your climate change comparison is more akin to some Christian sects resistance to relativity in the modern day. Despite its rapid growth through the ‘20s, the paper wasn’t accepted at the level we know today until the ‘50s. But recency bias makes it difficult for people like yourself to comprehend things like this.

Dude I think we’re all confused about what exactly the point is you’re trying to make.

While his paper grew rapidly, strong criticism and resistance to his “pseudoscience” lasted for decades. It wasn’t until around the 40s to 50s that relativity finally began to be universally accepted.

No, I read the whole thing. And no, while his paper grew rapidly, strong criticism and resistance to his “pseudoscience” lasted for decades. It wasn’t until around the 40s to 50s that relativity finally began to be universally accepted.

lol yes it is.

Who said that?

Open up a history book, relativity remained a point of contention for decades.

60 years ago the consensus was that the theory of relativity is bullshit.
