He’s one funny guy .Most times he doesn’t even know how contradictory he sounds .

He’s been insulting Africans who don’t fancy the idea of translating science to their forefather’s language but here he is praising Einstein who is guilty of same.

I was reading the discussion between u guys then I saw him calling u mumu just cos u are pointing the obvious facts to him. I can only imagine how most of his discussions offline always end .

I personally think he's autistic and unable perceive nuance instead of binary outcomes.

The very idea that Einstein, a Jew, who fled the holocaust in Germany, an event where the German Government murdered millions of Jews because they weren't considered German - would be a proud advocate of German Culture is utterly laughable.

Einstein willingly renounced his Germsn citizenship aged 17. When he published the theory of Relativity that 001 said Einstein was proud to publish in German. Einstein himself had this to say:

" If my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare me a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and Germany will declare that I am a Jew "

In 1948, when Germany tried to award him with some honours, Einstein literally replied with the following letter:


Very honored Sir,

I acknowledge receipt of your letter of January 5 and wish your efforts the greatest success. After the Germans bestially murdered more than half of my Jewish brethren, it is impossible for me to participate in any German public endeavor. Therefore I cannot accept your offer to become an honorary member of your league.

With exceptionally high esteem,

A. EINSTEIN.


So when I read the below, I laugh. Proud of what? Promote what? Einstein spoke German because he was born in Germany not because he was proud of German Culture. He did everything in his power from an early age to NOT promote Germany.

A001:
Use your dictionary to check what "native" means and stop embarrassing yourself in public. A native language is the language spoken in a person's birthplace, and for some people more than one language are spoken.

For Einstein, it was German primarily and Yiddish secondarily. Simple issue.

A first language (L1), native language, native tongue, or mother tongue is the first language or dialect that a person has been exposed to from birth[1] or within the critical period. In some countries, the term native language or mother tongue refers to the language or dialect of one's ethnic group rather than the individual's actual first language. Generally, to state a language as a mother tongue, one must have full native fluency in that language. [2]

A001:
Okay. You've not shown that German wasn't his native language. English is the native language of Nigerians, too, now. Lols

try again.

as a self described physicist - one would expect you to deal in empirical absolutes, not meandering.

GloriousGbola:
going by the 'arguments' you post here regularly - yes. a large number of nigerians actually do have English as their first language.

A001:
Na common Wikipedia wey anyone can edit dem dey post here to show German wasn't Einstein‘s native language. Wikipedia o, with many unsubstantiated claims

nihilistjnr:
If German was the native language of a man whose family originates from the middle east, then explain why English cannot be the native language of a man whose family originates from Nigeria.

Because English is not native to Nigeria in the first place. So Nigerians are now English people to you, lols. All these funny Nairaland arguments sha

izzou:
[color=royalblue]So, Einstein, one the GOATs of trado physics, regretted not being diligent in the languages of his fore fathers?

Hmmmmm.

Yet he was GOATED.

Its okay..[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Einstein said that, which language was he referring to as that of his forefathers?

Please help me make your answer short

Which language was he referring to as that of his forefathers?[/color]

Are Jews native to Germsny?

A001:
The mere fact you're quoting Wikipedia here to back your claim shows your education is questionable. Wikipedia has so many unsubstantiated claims. There are many parts there where you'd see "citation needed", and even some of the sources cited for some statements are poor.

But people like you wey no know their left from right go dey Wikipedia all about. Common Wikipedia, lols

A001:
We're talking about a language here. There are jews all over the world, just as there are Christians, Muslims. But everyone knows where those religions or groups originated from in Asia.

If they ask this one to do a company report. He go just visit Wikipedia and download everything there, press copy and paste, report don ready. Graduate for that matter, lols

GloriousGbola:
mr scientist - are there no links in the article? do you understand why wikipedia has multiple links?

do you know what the blue colored links are?

are you really this void of basic common sense?

you better do yourself a favor and stay back in nigeria in whichever backwater where you are teaching. your proven lack of intellectual competence will be unmasked if you enter a class in uk.

If them give you your native and foreign currency which will you take
Don’t answer it’s a rhetorical question 🤣🤣🤣
