Actually, it took some several years for Einstein's (1905) ideas to be accepted within the physics world, largely because he was an unknown. His fame came 14 to 15 years later when solar eclipse gave scientists an opprtunity to test his theory of general relativity. -- Jitterbug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jitterbug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33547 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
