Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family and had a lifelong respect for his Jewish heritage. Around the time Einstein was eleven years old he went through an intense religious phase, during which he followed Jewish religious precepts in detail, including abstaining from eating pork. He composed several songs in honor of God. Einstein's Jewish background and upbringing were significant to him, and his Jewish identity was strong, increasingly so as he grew older. Einstein was opposed to atheism. The simple appellation "agnostic" may not be entirely accurate, given his many expressions of belief in a Spinozan concept of Deity. It is accurate enough to call his religious affiliation "Jewish," with the understanding of the variety encompassed by such a label. Einstein had a positive attitude toward religion. He wrote of his belief in a noble "cosmic religious feeling" that enables scientists to advance human knowledge. One of Einstein's most famous quotes on the subject of science and religion is: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in 'Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists.' This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: 'I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details.' Einstein's famous epithet on the 'uncertainty principle' was 'God does not play dice.'"
*********************************
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American physicist known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world.
Feynman's family originated from Russia and Poland; both of his parents were Jewish. Richard Feynman believed, that existence of a God is a "consistent possibility": "A young man, brought up in a religious family, studies a science, and as a result he comes to doubt – and perhaps later to disbelieve in – his father's God. Now, this is not an isolated example; it happens time and time again. This young man has learned a little bit and thinks he knows it all, but soon he will grow out of this sophomoric sophistication and come to realize that the world is more complicated, and he will begin again to understand that there must be a God. This young man really doesn't understand science correctly. I do not believe that science can disprove the existence of God; I think that is impossible. And if it is impossible, is not a belief in science and in a God – an ordinary God of religion — a consistent possibility?"
A priest and a rabbi were walking one fine summer afternoon, swapping stories, discussing the Exodus, that sort of thing. There was a lull in the conversation when they happened across a playground full of young kinds playing. The priest turned to the rabbi and nudged him with an elbow, saying quietly, "Hey, let's go screw that little boy over there," he offered. The rabbi turned to the priest with a look of shock.

Dunno about Einstein's greed, but there is too much hype with him, while he had just compiled others' work. It is like making a hero from a humble author of some wikipedia science article.

That's like saying Newton or Leibniz weren't important, or Shakespeare wasn't, or /prog/ isn't, just because their ideas may have been based on other persons'. In actuality, Einstein is probably the most original famous person you could come across, next to certain non-Euclidian mathematicians. For some of his ideas, like E=mc^2 you could experimentally crank those out, but shit like the Lorentz factor would've been fucking people up for half a century or more.

P.s. he also experimentally verified QM. Most scientists would've probably claimed it was false and Jewed us for 10-20 years if it didn't have Einsteins name on it.

Since when science is about "originality"? Since when physics became an abstract art, where "originality" is encouraged, instead of honesty to the experiment?

He had just proposed "theory" - an abstract model or interpretation.

Einstein was a plagiarist and a fraud.
Nikola Tesla had this to say about Einstein and his Theory of Relativity:
"... [a] magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king ... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists ..."
"...the relativity theory, by the way, is much older than its present proponents. It was advanced over 200 years ago by my illustrious countryman Ruđer Bošković, the great philosopher, who, notwithstanding other and multifold obligations, wrote a thousand volumes of excellent literature on a vast variety of subjects. Bošković dealt with relativity, including the so-called time-space continuum ..."

Also, for anyone who is keeping track, the luminiferous aether is reappearing in modern physics as the quantum vacuum and more recently as the holographic membrane.
Or if you meant On the QM, he never made a theory on QM, called it lies and slander, although he WON THE FUCKING NOBEL PRIZE FOR EXPERIMENTALLY VERIFYING ONE ASPECT OF REALITY NOT CONSISTENT WITH GR OR SR

Theories are about being right. He won, aether theories lost, get over it nigger.

Aether theories of the time lost, but aether theories are making a comeback framed in a different language of vacuum states and holographic manifolds.
Einstein merely put together the ideas of a bunch of other real scientists who had performed the experiments and laid the groundwork (Maxwell, Lorentz, Fitzgerald, Michelson, Morley, Bošković) and called it his own without giving due credit.
And the ideas he stole merely model the integrative macroscopic aspects of reality and don't allude to anything about how nature and the Universe actually work: it's a top-down theory.

Albert Einstein also stole the idea of the mass-energy equivalence captured by the formula e=mc2 from Samuel Tolver Preston and Olinto De Pretto in a work published in 1904 by Umberto Bartocci, without giving any credit.

The Nobel Prize committee was hijacked by the Jewish academic elite during the reign of the Gottingen Jews.
I mean shit, they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to a warmonger merely because of this color of his skin, because they wanted to instill in the minds of the masses the so called "greatness" of Cultural MarxismMulticulturalism.
But I want to be a physicist! Do I have to turn Jewish? Is such think possible? Do I have to give up my foreskin?

There are strong indications the theory is incomplete. The problem of quantum gravity and the question of the reality of spacetime singularities remain open. In particular the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity, where current theories and knowledge are unclear or break down altogether. Data is also needed from high energy particle experiments to indicate which versions of scientific models are more likely to be correct - in particular to choose between the Standard Model and Higgsless models and to validate their predictions and allow further theoretical development. Although general relativity can be used to perform a semi-classical calculation of black hole entropy, this situation is theoretically unsatisfying. In statistical mechanics, entropy is understood as counting the number of microscopic configurations of a system that have the same macroscopic qualities (such as mass, charge, pressure, etc.). Without a satisfactory theory of quantum gravity, one cannot perform such a computation for black holes.
