BEHIND EINSTEIN'S SHADOW

Albert Einstein became famous and is known throughout the world for his theory of relativity. Many scientists, in the past, have remained in the shadows, some totally forgotten. But what if Einstein had been sidelined in the past? If someone else became famous in his place, how would we live today? If his most famous theory, the theory of relativity, had not been taken seriously by the scientific community, perhaps we would think that the earth is flat? Or would it all be the same?
Some great minds of the past have been pushed aside over time to bring us the science we all know today. Let's take a few steps in a different direction from what we are used to and check the reliability of some concepts.
