<But Einstein didn't do much his last 30 years.> If you ignore over 100 scientific publications in that period I would agree. But most scientists would not agree, and give Einstein tenure at any major university based on that body of work alone. It is no more fair to compare the old Einstein to the young Einstein than it to compare the old Mickey Mantle to the young. wg

It was a lot more than Einstein -- most of the work on quantum physics was accomplished by Maxwell, but there were others. Einstein's biggest contribution to quantising physics had nothing to do with "time." Without looking it up, do you know the difference between Einstein's theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity? And which, if either, did he win his Nobel Prize for? No credit for looking it up :-) The unified field theory had to do with unifying the forces observed in nature, not combining relativity and quantum physics. Do you know what those forces are? I wouldn't ask, but you are passing yourself off as an authority in response to my little jest.
