People Find Nonsense Credible if They Think a Scientist Said It, Shows Study
The profound aphorisms that you don’t quite understand but which you may nod along to or even forward to others may not actually mean anything, new research suggests.

There’s a name for this phenomenon now: the “Einstein Effect.”
