History of Physics Poll
the SCSC physics thread inspires me (who dropped out of a physics major after 2 years) to post this poll on Albert Einstein

Physics was not my strongest subject in HS . . . I voted General Relativity even though I presume it's wrong.

Dunno, I voted General, but it was a guess. I was an engineering major, so I've had a bunch of physics (even though I don't remember Einstein ever coming up in any of it in college). I did write book reports on a biography of Einstein in the 7th grade and again in the 8th grade, but that's a long time ago.

Recognized by whom?
The Brownian Motion thing for physics geeks, photoelectric effect for the Nobel guys, relativity for the general public
