Wouldn`t anyone like to be aware of all the discoveries made before his
death?

Einstein said something like: "Keep it simple, but not too simple!"

Scientists have in many instances followed Einstein`s advice and reduced
things to simplest terms. Maxwell`s equations as simplified and
explained by Heaviside have been used to successfully predict EM
behavior for a century. They give the answers needed so there has been
no great search for a replacement.

I love Einstein, but then, I have met few Germans I didn't like ...

However, gravity serves a prime example of what you suggest, here. We
know nothing about it, but a lot about its' affects and effects; we
have many formulas to tell us about those and a few theories to tell us
what it (gravity) actually is. So, I doubt it surprises anyone that we
stand at, almost, this exact situation with EM.

However, to lift the blanket and peer upon the true substance and nature
of these things would take us to a whole 'nother level of possibilities
in their uses ...

So, if you argument is going to become, "We already know enough of these
things, let us go no further"; well, some just may follow you--some not
.... personally, I'd "druther" not ...

Warm regards,
