Addressing a press conference on Thursday, Union Minister of Railways and Commerce & Industry, Piyush Goyal, said, “Don’t get into the Maths about the economy…Maths never helped Einstein discover gravity.” He added, “If we had only gone by the structured formulae and what was past knowledge, I don’t think there would’ve been any innovation in this world.”
As a result, memes and jokes on Goyal and the NDA government surfaced in no time.

Stop mocking @PiyushGoyal ! It's a well known fact that maths didn't help Einstein to discover gravity. He discovered it when he saw Ola charges coming down after a surge.

Einstein discovered gravity (that too without Maths) and Newton saw him do it and stole his idea. pic.twitter.com/4op1W6Ah8A
