Talk:Theory of relativity (view source)
Revision as of 20:42, November 29, 2009
, 20:42, November 29, 2009→A Word on Relativism: Please add Einstein's opinion to the article
Jfrattz, I see that despite my admonition on your user talk page, you continue to engage in 90/10 bickering over relativity, with the same re-hashed points that you and countless others have brought up before. Go write a new article, or find one that could benefit from more information. [[User:JacobB|JacobB]] 23:43, 28 November 2009 (EST)

:::I did a little Googling and found that, while many people have linked relativity to moral relativism, Einstein himself apparently disbelieved such links: "Asked what effect his theory would have on religion, he said: 'None. Relativity is a purely scientific matter and has nothing to do with religion'" [http://www.slate.com/id/74164/]. [http://www.vision.org/visionmedia/article.aspx?id=596 Another page] says (whether rightly or wrongly; I don't know) that "He himself held to firm standards of right and wrong and saw moral relativism... as a bankrupt philosophy." I think that the point of view of the discoverer of the theory should at least be mentioned. I'd add it myself, but the page's locked. --[[User:EvanW|EvanW]] 15:42, 29 November 2009 (EST)
