  • In the dotcom era things were easy. You could set up a website and make a business out of it in no time. Small effort. If it didn't perform, you deleted it and tried the next one.

    No "Big Tech" that was ruling and owning everything, like today. The existing telco's were actually big, but they had no clue. Lawmakers had no clue either.

  • Mercury's orbit

    I wasn't talking about Astronomy at all.

    Lorentz transformation

    That was needed only for the end results. Not in the introductory thoughts that I was talking about.

    Fizeau's experiment, the fact that the speed of light is the same

    Good point here. That was in fact one of the starting points for Einstein.

    There was no way special relativity could've been found even half a century earlier

    Again you are looking at the end results only, when the theory was complete.

    Have you even read my comment?

    Have you even read Einstein?

  • I firmly believe Newton would have gotten to relativity before Einstien if he were born at the same time.

    But it wasn't the end results and complex formulas of Einstein's theory that showed the flaws and gaps in Newton's mechanics.

    It was the basic questions and thought experiments in Einstein's first script. About basic geometry, length and width. The flow of time, the speed of a signal. Concurrency.

    It should have been possible to think these thoughts at Newton's time.
