Einstein repeated much of what H.G. Wells had accomplished, both in physics and politics. Wells holds priority on the concept of four-dimensional space-time, the atomic bomb, and many other innovations of thought.

. . .Even some of Einstein's quaint scientific anecdotes have their prior cousins. He told a story of his supposed fantasy of traveling at light speed,³³⁴ the so-called "Aarau Question". This story is used as an example of Einstein's supposed independence from Lorentz. . . . However, this fantasy was the subject of a novel popular among physicists of Einstein's day written by a famous astronomer, Lumen, by Camille Flammarion.

. . .In Einstein's famous lecture of 1922 in Japan,³³⁸ he recounts that he derived inspiration from "Michelson's experiment". Then, years later, Einstein denied having known of the experiment before the 1905 paper appeared.³³⁹

. . .Einstein claimed that he arose from bed once and wondered if events were absolutely simultaneous.³⁴² Was Einstein reading Poincare, who had already expressly written that events are not absolutely simultaneous, in bed, before Einstein fell asleep?

. . .Einstein is known to have read Poincare,³⁴⁹, and was aware of Lorentz' work, but denied knowledge of the so-called "Lorentz Transformation". Is it plausible to believe that Einstein, a supposed genius and master scientist, was completely unaware of Poincare's, Lorentz' and Larmor's works containing the so-called "Lorentz Transformation", and the principle of relativity, which were the talk of the physics community,³⁵⁰ and the then current literature on the subject of Poincare's "principle of relativity", and that it is coincidental that Einstein repeated much of what they wrote? . . . Einstein is seemingly awarded credit for every scientific advancement and theory from the time of Newton up until Einstein's death. Does Einstein deserve that credit?
