TIL Nikola Tesla vehemently criticized Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity, calling it a “magnificent mathematical garb” hiding errors, a “beggar clothed in purple” mistaken for a king, and fundamentally wrong because it denied the existence of the ether

SS: While Tesla did not use the exact words “shill” or “liar”, his public statements and a poem he wrote clearly framed Einstein’s work as erroneous and deceptive
This history post was mod removed from physics in less than 10 minutes flat
Didnt he have to deny the ether shit because it showed earth wasnt moving or spinning etc?
And now Tesla’s name will be forever associated with a failed car company run by narcissistic ketamine addict.
And when Einstein was asked what it’s like to be a genius he said “ask Tesla”
And yet Tesla died penniless and had all his papers confiscated by Bush senior afterwards
Yeah I think Einstein was controlled opposition, hired to do what he did by the evil Elite mfrs at the time.
Tesla wasn’t known for his mathematical skills. The relativistic equations would have looked like magic to him.
