Did he actually do anything?

Yes, as he was a physicist, but like many paradigm-shifting theories he's not solely deserving of credit and is CERTAINLY not deserving the meme status of "history's greatest mind" which he seems to have achieved.
Einstein was a lot more photogenic and politically visible than Von Neumann, that's all.

Photoelectric effect. Postulated photon particles. Some more minor stuff, like his papers about Brownian motion. While he didn't personally originate 95% of what we consider relativity, he still played a very important role and it would be stupid to deny it.
Einstein is in league for the most overrated man in history, but that doesn't mean he dindu nuffin, far from it.

Adolf Hitler on Einstein

Inevitable cuckposting that has no relevance to the thread.

He looks to be a stupid animal with its tongue hanging out.
Was he really so emotionally-retarded he posed this way?
>Theists claim Einstein as one of them
>Einstein spent the last part of his life trying to disprove/discredit quantum physics
Oppenheimer is objectively more historically significant than Einstein is
Oh and, he's a cooler Einstein in general, and basically a fucking Noire character
>>2345713
Yes, he was jealous of Neumann.

I dunno, is Google maps still working?

Yes?
THEN HE FUCKING DID SOMETHING!

Not that it matters... Since that other thing he theorized the existence of, but thought someone after him would surely find a mechanism that prevents it, turned out to be a thing, and there is no such mechanism...

Heisenberg

He was part of America's campaign to "make science cool" after realizing that the technocratic elite was responsible for 90% of the world's problems.
