old salon article revisited

This weekend, while reading on the physical views of a certain Tom van Flanders (on which I came casually while cruising through wikipedia), I came across this article on salon which discusses recent controversies on the procedures used by einstein to develop his theory of general relativity. The article is not very technical nor detailed, but it's interesting and written in an entertaining way. In the end the author looks more biased towards support the standard viewpoint (ie, Einstein did not cheat) but I won't restart this discussion here (lack of detailed knowledge on my side, and also lack of comments here ;) sorry).

on a personal note, it's rather strange that I repost links to articles on my blog. it's mostly a way to increase traffic so not sure if I should continue with that...
