Are Roster,
“There is a mountain of evidence that his work was stolen from others, including from his gentile wife who he later divorced, and never gave any credit.”
This is simply untrue. One accusation that his wife worked with him was based on a letter to her where he referred to “our” work, but it is pretty clear that he meant this as a romantic attachment. Many of his letters to her contain details of his work, but her letters to him only had general, supportive comments.
“Physicists who “spoke to him in learning” report that his own contributions were “junk.” “
This is also untrue. He debated extensively with Niels Bohr about quantum mechanics, and while Bohr’s views are more accepted today, their exchanges were replete with mutual respect.
