Welrez: You're contradicting yourself You implied that Einstein's working at the patent office predisposed him to radical new ideas which arguably formed the bedrock of his contributions to physics, and hence his Nobel Prize. And i countered that theoretical physics is not patentable, it's only recognizable. I also said we don't need some fancy "infrastructure" to come up with novel new ideas in the body of knowledge; all we need are the visionaries, the dreamers, the curious, the driven....not the current pack of lazy, indolent, politicized academics who believe more in titles than discoveries. But now you're changing tack. When you say something, own up to it and admit when wrong. That's how we learn. |

Neoteny:When I responded to that topic, I based my contribution on inventions. Theoretical Physics was off my mind. Even when I mentioned the Nobel Prize or a Global Prize, it was still in that context. Even in that context, I didn't totally ruled out the possibility of big inventions being made by Nigerians here in Nigeria, but I said it would be rare due to certain infrastructure which I didn't mention. You bringing in Albert Einstein in the reply was digression and an act of putting a word in my mouth and using it to crucify me. Maybe Economists need inventions to win a Nobel Prize. So don't tell me I am contradicting myself. |

Welrez: You're contradicting yourself Your initial statement was that lack of infrastructure was the the detriment to our self-important academics' failure to achieve anything of note I argued that infrastructure, whatever you mean by it, is not that important and mentioned Einstein's genius and how he changed prior thinking of quantum physics, astrophysics, etc, using only his mind and mathematics (some of which was done for him) without the sort of infrastructure you no doubt meant. And I also pointed out how Einstein's contributions in photoelectric effects got him the Nobel Prize without inventing anything. So you then argued that he worked in the patent office and thus was exposed to the works of others, as if he plagiarized his ideas, to which I said theoretical physics is not something that one comes across at the patent office. And that's around the time you did an about-turn to muddle your point. I'm not responsible for your apparent confusion |

Neoteny:I never mentioned a thing like that. I would like to know how I got linked to that... That is not me... |

Neoteny:You see, you attributed to me what I never said. You have to apologise to me.
