Einstein, the unwilling prophet.
Again we witness the words of a prophet posthumously
revised. Of course, the less palatable opinions of prophets have always been removed by
latter day disciples in all religions but the task of science is not the defense
of ancient beliefs but a continued search for new truths. For a century now,
the Church of Science has used its purse strings to foster inbred unquestioning soldiers.
Have you noticed how often the mantra ‘Einstein was right’ is used to avoid
criticism of dodgy 'discoveries’ ranging from gravity waves to God Particles. Science
accedes that no credible foundation exists for the early phases of the Big Bang; using the euphemism 'poorly understood’ to soften the blow of this embarrassing fact. That all thoughts on the actual corporeal nature of matter and energy are discouraged does not stop otherwise brilliant people from piling mathematical scaffolding
upon the existing quicksand. Does anybody care what drove inflation to outgun gravity during the post-Planck
epochs below nanometer size after the physical laws woke from their singularity
slumber in a 'black hole’ of all Universal mass? Are we really
supposed to thank a charitable God who decided that enough was enough and
turned on the light by a miracle so that we could all have
successful carriers?
Einstein would have scoffed at this
lucrative game and probably spent a lifetime looking for a foundation without monetary
enumeration. He asked to be cremated on the day of his death and have his ashes
scattered at some unknown place. Perhaps he foresaw disciples erecting marble shrines
to cement their own sway over science. The betrayal of a prophet is nothing new.
