The Joe Rogan Experience#1945 w/ Eric Weinstein

@KrystianGage

You can’t succeed without failure

@vinayseth5899

Goes to show that Einstein meant it when he stressed on his perseverance being his greatest gift.

@bigguy16

Bias and nepotism are the reasons Einstein is a household name but not Poincare, the man who Einstein plagiarized the theory of relativity from.

@torgeirl

The man revolutionized science so much that his name became synonymous with genius, I think getting it right on the fourth attempt is acceptable

@turboduckhead6179

He’s not a genius, he got all the credit for other people’s work!

@DeltaElites

That is how science works. They publish a theory for others to factually check and find flaws. The scientist will then go "back to the drawing board" and figure out where it went wrong and correct until no errors can be found.

@seangelarden9543

Einstein gave his nobel Prize monet to his first wife who was also a brilliant mathematician and theres speculation that she helped

@ghostpiratelechuck2259

Vague, wrong, and incomplete? Is Eric describing his Unified Theory?

@islamokhazarian366

The same guys who were stealing intellectual property back then are the same ones stealing it today. Cashing out on the creativity and genius of others, taking what they don't deserve.

@WREFMAN

“I don’t think he deserves the credit Einstein did” 😂

What the hell.

@marcosvialpando1391

Einstein gets all the hype but Tesla is The greatest Genius.

@iam4740

Einstein understood failure is a part of success.

@christopherneufelt8971

The first paper of Einstein was together with Maric, which one year later she was removed as coauthor. Poincare, Voigt and Lorenz were the people behind the ideas of relativity, but some people wanted Einstein for political reasons and this is why he became the favorite saint of science.

@444haluk

Anyone that studied differential geometry and tensor calculus out of pure need knows Grossmann and the famous quote of Einstein "Grossmann, you must help me or I will go crazy"

@SuperLifestream

He could of failed 1000 times.  Fact is his calculations still add up today

@Zmanath00

I feel like this guy has the biggest chip on his shoulder

@ΧαράλαμποςΦλόκας

The name of the mathematician that helped Einstein is Constantine Karatheodory, a greek born in Berlin, and one the of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century.

@lumensmith2001

I don't like Joe Rogan, however I think this is a very important segment.

People with a loose understanding of the scientific method oftentimes view the constant revisions and clarifications in science as a reason to mistrust it. Oftentimes, these people point to the work of Einstein and his contemporaries as "real science" because in the modern day, the equations are static and don't change. That misconception is frustrating because many of the most brilliant scientific discoveries in history were challenged in the exact same way. Science is always improving as new evidence is discovered; it's a realization born from the understanding that to not except ones faults is to perpetuate them. Paradoxically, the fact science isn't always right is what makes it trustworthy.

@mariovillarreal8647

Einstein has many detractors but he still stands the test of time and space. He was very humble and a good man.
