Einstein did not deserve the Nobel Prize in Physics
All he did was write papers, and scribble incomprehensible equations on blackboards.

Photoelectric effect this, relativity that, blah, blah, blah...

He didn't actually do anything.

I'm so disappointed in the Nobel committee of 1921.

admittedly, not much of an accomplishment.

You should look up the the words analogy and sarcasm and see if you can tell the difference.

7. Me too. Einstein's family should get together
and give his Nobel to the teabagers.

8. Interestingly, his 3 papers that year...
...were on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, and time dilation under Lorentz transformations. The results became, respectively, the fields of stochastic analysis, quantum mechanics, and relativity.

But, yeah, after 1905 he didn't really do that much.

12. And all he did was write some papers...
All he did was change the way we think...

10. Also, Einstein Believed The Earth Is More Than 5,000 Years Old!

Silly Darwiner. That type should never be rewarded.
