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.

Preposterous. Quantum mechanics has been the very backbone of physics since it was devised in the 1920's. Einstein never called it "junk science"; his objections were subtle points of interpretation, not a dismissal of the formalism. Furthermore, he stood virtually alone in promoting those objections; they didn't delay scientific progress by one second.

Very Backbone??, I disagree, quantum mechanics goes beyond the three known dimensions of space. Those three known dimensions,(height/length, width, depth) are the backbone of physics the link between the physics of space and quantum physics is Time.
