Similarly they said we couldn't cross the sound barrier. Einstein was wrong, and the speed of light will eventually be breached without going backwards in time. His equations are flawed.

Time is just the change in harmonic-state of a vibrating particle. Once all the particles stop vibrating, time stops. It is a vector, and since it has an end, i.e. the heat death of the universe, it also has a beginning. There are no infinite physical vectors, by definition. Thus, since by Einsteinian physics, time ends, it also begins. If the universe lasts for a sufficient time, it will asymptotically approach a state where all energy is evenly distributed. Hermann von Helmholtz is thought to be the first to propose the idea of heat death in 1854, 11 years before Clausius's definitive formulation of the Second law of thermodynamics in terms of entropy (1865). However, observations about the loss of available energy as heat had been formulated by Sadi Carnot as early as 1824. en.wikipedia.org By measuring the energy in the universe we can estimate the point at which time began. This energy measurement coupled with Einsteinian physics led to the big bang theory.

That's because it couldn't be verified yet. The photoelectric effect was based on measured data that any lab could reproduce. Memory fades, but wasn't the general theory verified before the special theory? Measuring the displacement of stars on the edge of the sun during solar eclipses demonstrated the bending of light near a massive object due to the curvature of space time. Also, the photoelectric effect was a verification of quantum theory as it demonstrated the existence of the work function of a metal.
