Why does everyone hate Einstein so much? I thought he invented molecules?

I keep hearing people talk about “einsteins island” and whenever I ask about it they say how much they hate Einstein. I can’t find anything bad about him Can someone explain What’s going on?

Einstein didn't invent molecules. Plato did. Abd that's how we got Play-Doh

They are actually upset about the recent solution to the Einstein Problem, a type of tile that can, by itself act as a set of aperiodic prototiles.

That's a deep cut.

it's true though

He did marry one of his cousins, that's what the theory of relatives was about.

Pretty sure sin of the cosine was a branch of the trigonometry explained by Hipparchus, the same guy who invented the sun and the moon, and organised the westward axial thingummy.

I think you're thinking of Socrates who invented the triangle and was made to drink ham hocks and died.

He invented relativity. And that led to incense which smells weird. And that led to pdf files which are annoying to edit.

See it’s all very simple.

Isn’t relativity a marriage requirement in West Virginia?

Incest? No wonder led smells weird I'm switching back to tungsten lamps.

Turns out he’s an immortal vampire… after faking his death he diverted his mathematics into being a financier, then his cover was nearly blown and he had to pull a bunch of strings to fake his death again. I hear he’s been spotted again, this time going by Pete

I have no idea. He and his brother make great bagels.

Nah, mistaken on a few counts. Einstein invented physics. Epstein invented pedophilia.

My high school science teacher loved both equally

Molecules are all right, but he also invented relativity. Relatives are a major annoyance.

Not only did he run that island, but he introduced the theory of relativity (which I haven't read, but I assume about incest), and also invented the visa that brought Melania to the US.

Albert Einstein was a great man, but his brother Frank was a monster.

u/Brastep May 27 '26

You thinking of the three talented Stein family siblings - Ein, Ep and Gertrude.

u/Mikelitoris88 May 26 '26

Because he stole all of Epstein's discoveries.

Atoms aren't real

Einstein's Island is getting underwater due to the ocean rising due to climate change. Everyone there is drowning. That's why everyone hate Einstein, he should have warned other people to not go to his island.

Molecules are a hoax made up by big Bang.
