Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
What connects?
Cracked only by Rogi , dineshk and Arun Krishnamoorthy
Answer:
Quoting dineshk:
“Henri Poincare, Olinto De Pretto, Albert Einstein and Paul Langevin – independent discoverers of E = mc^2 although everyone except Einstein seems to have arrived at the equation through reasoning that is flawed to various degrees.”
Poincare, Olinto de Pretto, Einstein and… Minkowski?
I discovered relativity.
No *I* discovered relativity.
Ok ok, we all did – why can’t we just get along?
Three-body problem
Henri Poincaré
Einstein
not sure about the others
Disputed Einstein “discoveries”?
Where E=MC^2 is concerned, it’s linked to De Pretto
For Special Relativity, the claim is that Albert plagiarized Poincare, Langevin (and several others).
There is a reference in WP reading,
*E = mc2 — Henri Poincare, 1900; Olinto De Pretto, 1903; Albert Einstein, 1905; Paul Langevin, 1906.*
So I guess it’s just the equivalence formula that we’re after.
Henri Poincare, Olinto De Pretto, Albert Einstein and Paul Langevin – independent discoverers of E = mc^2 although everyone except Einstein seems to have arrived at the equation through reasoning that is flawed to various degrees.
theory of relativity?
Theories of relativity?
Twin Paradox … Special Relativity
1. Poincare
3. Einstein
My guess is that this is about the ” Relativity priority dispute “
the three(n)-body problem?
Chaos theory?
Henri Poincare
Paul Drude
Albert Einstein
Paul Langevin
All contributed to the theory of relativity ….
The Incorrigible Plagiarist
Three body problem?
3/5/n-body problem
