I googled patent number 39561 and got [http://www.google.com/patents?id=EA0AAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA1&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false this], which is a patent for carriage wheels, not a gravel sorter. I'm like, "You bet Einstein was wrong if he called that a gravel sorter!" Then I realized that he wasn't a patent clerk in the US patent office, but rather the Swiss. --[[Special:Contributions/138.67.184.240|138.67.184.240]] 03:23, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I think left Cueball was just trolling. 81.23.24.48 05:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

"Disproving Einstein" is usually thought to be disproving special or general relativity theory --83.20.253.13 05:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

I am pretty sure the joke is that disproving anything Einstein said is "disproving Einstein". 184.66.160.91 09:04, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Wasn't the "disproving special or general relativity theory" already sort of done with quantum physics? Or do we only suspect that but lack the actual proof until we have confirmed Quantum gravity? -- Hkmaly (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Is it just me or did Cueball travel back in time to 1947? That would certainly be a bigger way to disprove Einstein than to go after his opinion of sandwich shoppes. -- Sturmovik
