A very wild thought.. When thugs like Arafat are awarded the Nobel prize for peace then it's significance, for myself at least, is lost. Nobles are for the premier league scientists; Einstein belonged to a different set of world in that he exposed the hidden mysteries of nature. Indeed in few thousand of years from now our generation will be seen as advanced in unlocking the mystery of nature. In my opinion in future if we have any contact with aliens he would be awarded the universal prize of ultimate achievement, in being a scientist of the universe. Our earth is a tiny speck of sand, if the whole universe is a beach. If another Einstein existed in another galactic civilisation even a few thousand year ago alien contact, despite the immense gulf of space and time, would have been established by now. Perhaps others are waiting for their Einstein, or perhaps this speck of sand is the only significance in the entire universe, hence when we make contact for future generations he would be the ultimate prophet.
