You totally evaded and dismissed the Einstein-de Haas effect and magnetic dipole moment in your post

And now you're trying to play the maths card.

It's not "quote mining". They said what they actually said.

It's nothing to do with "prophets". It's paying attention to what people like Einstein and Maxwell and Minkowski actually said, and to the hard scientific evidence that supports what they said. Sadly there are people in this world who peddle unsupported hypotheses and urge other people to disregard hard scientific evidence and what Einstein etc said.
