Didn't look it up, scouts honor-lol: Einstein did not receive the nobel prize for relativity, he won it for his theoris on electromagnetism? I think general relativity included gravity. Bunch of guys worked on quantum physics: Niels Bohr, Shrodenger, Heisenberg, Paul Dirac. Einsteins contribultion to quantum physics was his general contribution to physics. I think-lol. I am a pretty big fan of Einstein. But not for reasons most would think. Einstein was just a smart dude who never took himself seriously. There is a great story of when Einstein arrived in New york from Europe with Thomas Edison. Hundreds of thousands of people met them as their ship landed and they were cheering and yelling and Einstein looked at Edison and asked him: "what does all this mean? to which Edison replied: "nothing at all"-lol. >>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.<<
