Exactly.
Funny that NTP protocol and correspondent utilities every sigle second ruins that stupid assumption that you could not synchronize two clocks being apart. :)
Do they? Or they was just indoctrinated since childhood to picture a "scientist" as "eccentric genius"? And then, all they need is to place prepared puppets.
The "eccentric genius" trope is older than that and it spans not just science but other fields like art. It was mostly an organic outgrow of the Enlightenment/Romantic worldview of the 18-19c. It sure was weaponized to serve the scientismo narrative pushed by general education and pop culture in the 20th century though.
Yes. that is why Einshtein easily fit in that trope.
May be even earlier, down to Dark ages, when any smart enough person risked to be declared a witcher or insane.
