:::Poincare tried out hypothetical explanations involving the aether, but wasn't convinced that such explanations were correct.[[User:Pluto|Pluto]] 17:27, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

:::: So you want to give Einstein more credit because he was more confident of his explanation? That does not make his explanation correct or first. Do you have any source to prove that Einstein's explanation was any better than either Poincare's or Planck's? [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 18:14, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

:::::The current version correctly credits Poincare for the math. Poincare undoubtedly was a great physicist. However, few modern scientists believe in the aether, and even Poincare wasn't certain about this explanation.[[User:Pluto|Pluto]] 18:17, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
