, 16:31, September 15, 2008→False attributions: Why would it matter whether Poincare was certain?
:::: 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)

:::::: There are actually a lot of modern scientists who believe in the aether, in one form or another. But what difference does that make? Why would it matter whether Poincare was certain? [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 12:31, 15 September 2008 (EDT)
