Einstein:

There is a lot if Einstein bashing going on these days. Apparently, some folks with nothing better to do have gotten neutrinos to move faster than light, through eight thousand feet of dirt no less. That means (in the opinion of some) that the whole E=MC^2 thing just doesn't work.
I knew old Al couldn't possibly know the speed of light (Although many did argue) and he never really invented anything, and... he published the answer to life, the Universe and everything in 1925. Not only was the number 42 no where to be seen, but he withdrew the paper in '27 because it was Gobblty-Gook.
None the less, he got us thinking. The god of physics defrocked, but he tried. That's really all a scientist can do. Two steps forward and one step back. Al died in 1957, the year before I was born (I think he was ducking me) but his legacy has lasted up to this point. That's a really good run for a scientific idea. I think we should cut him some slack.
