And then along comes an amateur wannabe physicist like Albert Einstein
and turns theory on its ear... bringing the world kicking and
screaming into the atomic age of satellites and relativity. The Nobel
review folk didn't even know what to make of most his papers and gave
him a kupiedoll for describing the photoelectric effect. This amateur
wannabe generated more change than had been accomplished in the
previous 1,000 years. And new ramifications are still being found for
e=mc^2. Every scientist in 1905 was sure nothing major could be found
too. We are in 2005 now and some geek in a broom closet is just about
to unleash a comparable cataclysmic change to our world and one better
count on it!
