Default Illiterate Einsteinians Are Crafty Moneymakers

Kip Thorne: "A second crucial proof of the breakdown in Newtonian gravity was the relativistic bending of light. Einstein's theory predicted that starlight passing near the limb of the sun should be deflected by 1.75 seconds of arc, whereas NEWTON'S LAW PREDICTED NO DEFLECTION. Observations during the 1919 eclipse of the sun in Brazil, carried out by Sir Arthur Eddington and his British colleagues, brilliantly confirmed Einstein's prediction to an accuracy of about 20 percent. This dealt the final death blow to Newton's law and to most other relativistic theories of gravity."

The individual who doesn't know that Newton's theory did predict deflection is nevertheless a crafty moneymaker, a famous teacher, and will be given the Nobel prize:

"Thorne helped produce Interstellar and co-found the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, which successfully detected gravitational waves for the first time in February, according to the University. Thorne used Interstellar to explain gravity, black holes and the warping of time and space."

"Gravitational waves: who should win the Nobel prize? ...in brief poll of physicists, three names were cited instantly. These are Rainer Weiss of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Kip Thorne and Ronald Drever of the California Institute of Technology, the three founders of Ligo, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory in the US."

We all live in Einstein's schizophrenic world don't we:
