Actually I believe the most common answer Albert Einstein was known to give was “I don’t know”. Apparently once he became famous, people asked him all kinds of questions about things he knew nothing about. I was pretty good at sticking to his field with a few departures.

He wrote a foreward for Robert Hapgood’s book on Hapgood’s theory of crustal displacement. The Theory was wrong but it was a step toward our current ideas on plate tectonics.

"The Theory was wrong but it was a step toward our current ideas on plate tectonics." Click Here "Interestingly, today's pole and the two ancient poles lie in a straight line equidistant from the planet's biggest feature, the Tharsis rise, a bulge just north of the equator that contains Mars' most recent volcanic vent, Olympus Mons." These ancient poles lie near the equator of Mars today. There is very little dispute that Mars was subjected to a crustal displacement. I believe (qualification) that resistance to this theory occurring on earth is due to the implications it would have on numerous scientific disciplines. There is much evidence in solidified lava flows with magnetic markers showing orientations that are at times 90 degrees off from the magnetic poles that can't be explained by a magnetic reversal (geologically slow) due to the short solidification time of lava flows.
