But I dont understand why people nowaday need to bring wiseness from Einstein.
If someone is good in physic, that is not a proof by itself that he is right in other fields.
Same thing with rich people. Why people trust more someone who have the opportinity/chance to successfully win big amount of money? I mean that is impressive but still?
Both the scientific an the rich deserve more respect than others actually, but it is not a reason to treat them as gurus

Respect is earned, not bought. Which is why I can respect a scientist I haven't directly met, but rarely respect a rich person I haven't met.
In saying that, there are people with large net worths whom I have met, and hold in high regard because they're great people. And there are people I've met in the scientific community who are complete and utter numb-skulls.
I do agree that people as a whole tend to show respect for these people. But yeah, I think respect needs to be well-placed.
