I'll tell you something else here: history of science books are not going to be terribly kind to Albert Einstein.

We're coming upon about 90 years his theory of General Relativity has held up. But if you dismiss him....O.K. Your support for the Las Alamos theories are noted.

There were a lot of things that Einstein didn’t know but he certainly is regarded as a giant.

In science its actually normal for the giants of one era to be wrong about the great discoveries of the next era and we still celebrate their work given what they knew at the time but Einstein is still relevant to an astonishing degree.
