i am personally not physician but i believe what einstein says is mostly illogical.yea..even ridicolous sometimes...example:that light is faster than everything..even than time...and the "big ben" ...anybody agrees?

Okay, let's help you with your english first.
A physician is a medical doctor who helps sick people. A physicist studies the fundamental natural laws of the universe.
"Big Ben" is a clock in London. The big bang is the standard model of cosmology--how the universe was 14 billion years ago.
Light can't be faster than time, because time doesn't have a speed. But among things that do have speeds, light seems to be the fastest.
Einstein was quite logical (at least when it comes to relativity, not so much with quantum mechanics)--learn some physics and you'll see this for yourself.

Sure, a lot of things Einstein proposed seemed to be counterintuitive. But you misunderstand the nature of science. Einstein's theories are based on more than assertions. The derivations are sound mathematically, and more importantly, they have been experimentally verified. If you want to disprove Einstein, conduct an experiment that falsifies a prediction of relativity.
The other way of attacking Einstein would be to attack the derivations of his theories. However, even if his math was off, that doesn't mean the theory is false, just rather that the way he went about deriving his theory was. And, any alternative theory you propose has to incorporate Einstein- i.e., it has to show why Einstein's theories work as well as they do. That's one common flaw of pseudoscientists- they create elaborate alternative theories that don't explain all the things that Einstein's theories do.
Finally, do you believe in atomic bombs? You have to believe in Einstein. Do you believe in magnetism? You have to believe in Einstein (Maxwell's equations are relativistically invariant). If you don't understand why, then please read some more physics before posting further.

The thing with time and the big ben is this: we can see where the handles are because the light waves reflect differently for them and the background. So, if the big ben was moving at the speed of light away from you, light rays would never hit it, so there would never be newer light rays bouncing back into your eyes, so, would you see the clock as if time had stopped? would you be able to see the clock at all?

I'm sure that Einstein never said that light is faster than time...whatever that means. The things he did say may sound illogical to you, but they have been confirmed by experiment.

Jessuz. "big ben"? "physician"? And you strut around ridiculing Einstein? Man, you're just a confused arrogant jock. Don't even try.

Well if you don't understand physics doesn't mean physics is wrong. Similarly if you don't understand Einstein that doesn't mean he is wrong and the way you speak of him makes me think how much you know of the world you live in. May be just eat and s**t nothing else.

Haha! You came to the wrong place to badmouth Einstein. What did you expect?

Actually, there is proof that light is the fastest thing in the universe.
P.S., people who study physics are physicists, not physicians
