“Interestingly enough it’s barely been a century now since Einstein questioned the theory of gravity and came up with something entirely different.”

Well, that’s quite a trick. He must have mastered time travel somewhere along the line, because he died in 1955. Either I’m younger than I thought, or I can’t do math.

And so should you.

It's true, he came up with all his theories before he died.

or I can’t do math.

Bingo!

You apparantly have no idea about how long a century is ~ he published his paper titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" in 1905.

The whole idea (for which he won a Nobel Prize) was in turn based on his view of space and time, one which was not shared at all by Newton. Max Planck (?) continued to dispute Einsten's fiew as late as the early 1920s.

2007-1905 = 2. I think that's close enough to justify using the term "barely a century". Don't you?
