Einstein is genius as much as Newton. The world considers both of them to be geniuses. While the media spread the story in 1919–1920, of the legendary genius (Einstein) who invented an unintelligible theory of relativity, people in the 17th century read pamphlets and Newton was thought of as a somewhat eccentric scientist. Einstein became to be considered a genious by virtue of his shabby dressing and angelic mane and his theories of relativity that ignited the imagination of people. The media had also a significant role in disseminating the image of “Einstein the genius”. I will explain below why Einstein is in fact a genius.
In 1905, in his “miracle year”, Einstein submitted four revolutionary articles to the German Annalen der Physik scientific journal that year: on quanta of light (the photoelectric effect), Brownian motion, special relativity, and matter-energy equivalence, E=mc.
Ten years later he again published four revolutionary papers on the general theory of relativity. In 1916 and 1918 Einstein published a paper on gravitational waves. In these papers, he concluded that gravitational fields propagate at the speed of light (to the first approximation: he found solutions of the weak field linearized field equations in a manner analogous to that of retarded potentials in electrodynamics).
