physicists.


Is that so, Mr. Wheel? Nobody took relativity seriously until
Maxwell jumped on board in 1908.

That's REAL interesting, considering that the the good Mr.
Maxwell died in November of 1879.

And, most assuredly, the popular press did not give relativity
much credibility. But, that makes sense, because real physics
and real science is not done in the popular press.
