Sherwood Kaip - Last year I had two articles published in a peer reviewed physics journal, Galilean Electrodynamics. The editor, who obtained her Ph.D. in mathematical physics and wrote her thesis on Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, actually suggested the title of one of the articles. Their titles are: "The Birth of Special Relativity Theory" and "The Death of Special Relativity Theory". I retired from anesthesiology practice in 2014.
