http://discovermagazine.com/2008/sep/01-einstein.s-23-biggest-mistakes
1. 1905 Mistake in clock synchronization procedure on which Einstein based special relativity
2. 1905 Failure to consider Michelson-Morley experiment <http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/classes/109n/lectures/michelson.html>
3. 1905 Mistake in transverse mass of high-speed particles
4. 1905 Multiple mistakes in the mathematics and physics used in calculation of viscosity of liquids, from which Einstein deduced size of molecules
5. 1905 Mistakes in the relationship between thermal radiation and quanta of light
6. 1905 Mistake in the first proof of E = mc2 <http://www.worsleyschool.net/science/files/emc2/emc2.html>
7. 1906 Mistakes in the second, third, and fourth proofs of E = mc2
8. 1907 Mistake in the synchronization procedure for accelerated clocks
9. 1907 Mistakes in the Principle of Equivalence of gravitation and acceleration
10. 1911 Mistake in the first calculation of the bending of light

22. 1939 Mistake in the interpretation of the Schwarzschild singularity <http://www.site.uottawa.ca:4321/astronomy/index.html#schwarzschildsingularity> and gravitational collapse (the black hole)
23. 1946 Mistake in the seventh proof of E = mc^2
