    Einstein didn’t invent relativity.

    He invented the photoelectric effect.

    ETA:

    The joke, for the three downvoters, is that most people assume Einstein got a Nobel prize for relativity since that’s what he’s most known for. But he actually got a Nobel prize for the photoelectric effect.

    And there is the substitution of invented for discovered. Because you discover natural phenomena, you don’t invent them.
