He did. Specifically the Nobel Prize. The citation reads "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."

Once you attain a certain level of fame, your papers stop being cited. I view this as somewhat of an honor.
For example, Higgs invented the higgs mechanism. Note that ``Higgs'' is someone's name, but very few people capitalize the `h' in ``higgs boson''. Likewise, Einstein probably doesn't get that many citations these days---mostly because he founded the area of physics that a large portion of physicsts work in.

But, you can go faster than light if you know how to make light pull you and push you while you electromagneticly push and pull yourself forward. Matter can move in the excess speed exceeding light only in a pure vaccumme. That is the true problem.
The mention of this is a pure frictionless machine.

Technically speaking, the higgs mechanism is the analogy of less or more classical mechanism responsible for gaining mass of charge carriers in conductors. Every moment, when you turn on light bulb you can perceive the consequences of higgs mechanism: the electrons in could wire are behaving like much more massive particles, then those inside of hot wire. Therefore the conductivity of metals decreases with temperature (so called filament lamp varistors with positive coefficient of impedance with temperature were based on this phenomena)
Even if the Higgs field is experimentally discovered, however, that will still not explain the origin of inertial mass of ordinary matter. The Higgs field applies only to the electro-weak sector of the Standard Model. The mass of ordinary matter is overwhelmingly due to the protons and neutrons in the nuclei of atoms. Protons and neutrons are comprised of the two lightest quarks: the up and down quarks. The rest masses of their constituent quarks (approx. 0.005 and 0.010 GeV/c2 for the up and down quarks respectively) which could be attributed to the Higgs field comprise only about one percent of the masses of the protons and neutrons (0.938 and 0.940 GeV/c2 respectively). The remainder of the proton and neutron masses would have to be attributed to contributions from the gluon field strong interaction energies plus smaller electromagnetic and weak fields contributions which would not be affected by a Higgs field. The origin of inertial mass of ordinary matter is thus a widely open question.
Nope, but here's nothing new to dispute for me without apparent violation of forum rules.
Furthemore, most of you are understanding the AWT concepts already, so here's nothing left to explain for me without math.
