But here is a physicist who has won an award by pointing out a mistake in Einstein's work,He claims that it was poincare who was the true originator of relativity and that Einstein took it to be his.There are a lot of other issues where this guy comes out to be nutty, but his arguments at times are critical.

He ends by claiming that he hence discovered the use of functional differential equations for relativity and not ode relativity as it comes about naturally, was stated by michael atiyah during a centennial lecture of Einsteins relativity without giving the credit and also published in American Mathematical Society, which after a concerted protest was eventually acknowledged although without apology.

In simple, a genius with bitterness to the west. Not to mention, his thesis that calculus came to Europe from India was plaigarised before being established that is.

All in all a bad experience by a bitter person with a certain eccentricity to say the least.
But he is right about the thing that Einstein never understood it. Because I remember reading from Feynman's book "surely you are joking Mr Feynman" that in chapter "monster minds", they do talk about advanced and delayed causation.Something feynman gives his seminar on, pauli disagrees and einstein claims he doesnt know how to incorporate it into his gravitational theory.
But poincare, as ck raju claims understood it.

watch till the end, there are bunch of ads between.
Your views skeptics?.
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/100 ... 3176v1.pdf -Michael Atiyah's another paper on the same topic and I am proud to see him quote the fifth reference of RP.Feymans thesis(I am proud to have recollected it and guessed it without understanding in detail what they are
