The Contributions of Einstein
Robert L. Henderson
In the early part of the 20th century, Albert Einstein published several papers, two on his theories of relativity, one on the photoelectric effect, and one in which he ostensibly derived the famous equation E = mc2. Primarily as a result of these papers, Einstein became acclaimed by the dominate segment of the scientific community as both the greatest scientist of all time and the greatest man of the 20th century. However, it is the purpose of this paper to review Einstein's papers and point out that Einstein was ? in fact ? the most irrational person ever to masquerade as a mathematician or scientist: a man who perhaps did more to inhibit the rational progress of science than any other person who ever lived.
