AI says....Edmund Whittaker, a British mathematician and historian of science, critiqued the prevailing narrative that placed Albert Einstein at the center of the development of the theory of relativity. In his work, particularly in "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity," Whittaker argued that the theory of relativity was the result of contributions from many scientists, notably Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré, not just Einstein. Whittaker's account aimed to highlight these overlooked contributions, challenging the notion of Einstein's singular genius in the creation of relativity theory. His perspective sparked discussions on scientific discovery's collaborative nature and how credit is attributed within the scientific community.
