Einstein dismissed quantum mechanics as junk science. For that reason it was never studied for almost three decades, now it is one of the hottest research areas of physics.
It's a good thing a Judge didn't affirm Einstein's sentiment.
Bullshit.
Einstein never dismissed quantum theory as 'junk science'.
He won the Nobel Prize for his paper on Brownian Motion, which was one of the founding papers of quantum theory.
There never was a time when quantum physics wasn't one of the hottest areas of physical research.
He had some strong quibbles as to whether quantum theory was the bottom layer of reality, or only the best current aproximation of it, but he never dismissed it as junk or untrue.
