Of course! How could we not have seen this? Einstein wasn't even capable of inventing perpetual motion machines, after all.

He never asked how and why light existed. His relativity delivers mathematical absurdities which physicists disguise as erudite singularities.
What do you mean "how and why light existed"? I mean, "how"? How many ways are there for light to exist? What kind of question is that? And "why"? Since when is science concerned with why things exist? There's a lot of friction between what you probably want to say and the way you say it. A bit like in your perpetual motion machines, I guess.
And perhaps you could be so kind as to fill us in on the motives of practically every physicist on the planet to disguise Einstein's alleged "mathematical absurdities"?
"Erudite singularities"? You mean like black holes that know a lot? Do you know something about the universe we don't?
Get real.

'You guess'. I like this expression. It is symptomatic of institutionalised physics.
Quoting out of context isn't going to win you any sympathy, let alone an argument.

Enstein died in abject failure. If he had never been born; name one single thing the human race would be short of.
Here are some things we would have had sooner or later, but which can be attributed to Einstein:
  • X-rays
  • CAT-scans
  • Microwave ovens
  • Lasers
  • TV screens
  • LCD screens
Also we can thank Einstein for the concept of the 'Gedanken experiment'. And one thing the world would certainly be without, had Einstein not been born: the element Einsteinium.

The prospect of the world championship 'cutting and pasting' title is not intellectually stimulating to me.
Be that as it may, it sure would be intellectually stimulating to us if you directed your replies to the right person.
