Isn't it astounding that we, a supposedly advanced technological society,
got sucked into this LIE about Einstein's "dream" for more than half a
century?

The original papers were actually published 10 to 20 years before Einstein
claimed he had this "dream", which gave him (and his compatriots) plenty of
time to set us up.  With communications being so slow at the time, it's not
surprising that they were able to pull it off.  The real surprise is that
they managed to keep this LIE alive long after the facts were known.
