Seeing as we still have no fucking clue how this universe actually works... id say very little.

Einstein at least according to main stream is responsible for the theory of relativity which is just a theory that best explains current observable relativistic effects of how time gravity and velocity are related to one another. This is just a theory and might end up being proved wrong but more likely an incomplete view of those relationships imo. Where the real meat would lie is understanding what ideas were being floated in the theoretical physics world of that time as i understand it relatively was being discussed by other scientists as a plausible theory and Einstein sort of wrapped it up and put a bow on it by filling in some gaps and inconsistencies along with writing the famously published paper on Special relativity where he establishes that either the speed of light or the passage of time must be held as a constant he just picked light because its arbitrary.

They did an autopsy on Einstein's brain post mortem. He had a lot more bridging between the hemispheres.

Einstein's genius was legit, although the Academic/Institutional/Governmental environment he 'contributed' from is sketchy as Epstein's Flight Logs.

homo erectus had a much larger brain, I'd figure the dumbest of them were 200 IQ "moderns" by comparison. the coneheads, who probably built the pyramids, also had massive brain (vs body) volumes.

A quick Google search says homo erectus had smallercbrains like a 50 iq

I have to ask.. you have sources to back that up? Not trying to be a dick, I "follow" physics very closely and these are important claims to me.

Although Einstein didnt invent the whole relativity concept, the guy did provide a few keen insights into the matter. Ended up filling in many knowledge gaps, ended up writing papers on Special and then General relativity. Basically tied all the knowledge at the time together to produce those papers that could not have been written without his insights.

I cant believe you have me in here defending a kike..

People act like science isn't people building on each other. Often the names we know as preeminent were just really good at putting together the pieces others found and finding how they work together. And if that is all they did they still did something others didn't do. I am more bothered by Edison getting credit for shit he didn't do (and also the complete ignoring of the real genius Tesla) than Einstein getting credit for putting together the ideas of others in one unit.

He showed us that "smart guys" are sometimes not as smart as they are cracked up to be, giving the rest of us a chance to contribute. He thought time travel was possible. How crazy is that? Time only goes forward at universe speed, as with the whole universe. If you jump up and try to go backwards in time the universe will leave you behind! Just trying to be funny, I didn't succeed did I?

There was humor in the attempt.

If you give it a lot of honest thought, I think you can come to the conclusion that there really is no such thing as time. It is just a made up concept to create some kind of order in our thinking about doing and not doing things. Consider this as a starting point. Two objects are traveling toward each other at a million miles per hour and they are about to touch, they are only half the distance apart of the diameter of the smallest particle known to mankind. If they move any more they will touch. That is the segment of "time" we all live in. It is always "Right Now" for all of us, though we string all these tiny segments together in our minds. Because we string these ting segments together in the viewing and thinking of things it just seems so normal to feel there is such a thing as time. Happy Thinking !
