Albert Einstein and the Absolute Nature of Time

Einstein had no qualifications whatsoever, he hadn't studied at any senior level. He'd just done an undergraduate degree and not done very well at that. But it didn't matter because he believed, he had this weird idea, but God was kind of like a mad scientist. And so having thought of one of those things and having written this paper about the absolute nature of time,. which he wrote in 1905, and he managed to get that published. It actually took, I think, another 17 years or something like that when there was a partial eclipse of the Sun, et cetera, for people to take his theory and prove that the numbers actually worked.
