That article you quoted was written in 2002 going by the copywrite. By way of comparison, Einstiens theory on the photoelectric effect was written in 1905. He only recieved the Nobel prize in 1921, and even in 1922 Bohr, being a bore, was still disputing it.. Even after experiments showed that Einstein's equations for the photoelectric effect were accurate, his explanation was not universally accepted. Niels Bohr, in his 1922 Nobel address, refused to accept Einstein's theory. Bohr stated, "The hypothesis of light-quanta is not able to throw light on the nature of radiation". en.wikipedia.org So I am "quite right" -g- It's only now the theory that smoking causes cancer is generally accepted by the scientific community (and the tobacco companies). Back in 1910 there were probably a few renagade trouble maker students who thought Einstien was quite the new scientist, but it was hardly the accepted stuff taught in university or accepted by the public at large. "Time dilation? that won't make the steam engines run faster, heh heh". You assertions look OK though. -g-
