I always wondered this
Einstein was a german scientist in the early 20th century...at the time of no internet
do you think he would of known who Sir Isaac Newton was?
Shit quality bait but I'm sure some bored anon will take it.

Yes. He was only able to create the theory that contradicts laws of Newton because he was ignorant about who the guy was.
>>2052117
So its possible he did knew who he was
i just didn't know if a German early 20th century scientist would of knew of Newton, an english 17th century guy
>>2052122

>>2052122

Do you think 17th century English intellectuals knew who Plato was?
>>2052144

Definitely not. Plato was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930 after analysing perturbations in the teachings of Newton.
Do your job mods you stupid fucks.

Bullshit, Newton wasn't widely known until the 60s, when we started using his knowledge of gravity to go to the moon.
