== Claim of 20 Nobel Prizes for work related to relativity ==

The unsupported statement that "over 20 physics prizes have been given for work closely related to relativity" looks like hyperbole. Since relativists falsely claim that the theory explains almost anything, a relativist could assert that every Nobel Prize in physics is really being given for Relativity!  The truth, of course, is otherwise.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:24, 24 October 2010 (EDT)

: Here is my count of Nobel prizes for relativity. 1902 Lorentz (relativistic treatment of Maxwell's equations), 1907 Michelson (light speed being constant in all frames), 1921 Einstein, 1933 Dirac (relativistic quantum theory of electron), 1945 Pauli (exclusion principle in a relativistic quantum field theory), 1965 Feynman (relativistic quantum theory of electromagnetic fields) 1978 (big bang radiation), 1983 (black holes), 1993 (gravity waves), 1968, 1969, 1976, 1979, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1990, 1995, 1999, 2004, and 2008 (last 11 all for contributions to relativistic high energy physics). I realize that you think that relativity is overrated, but even if so, the Nobel committee has been giving prizes for it. Relativity was an essential part of all of these prizes.
