>>Not very good pay for the investment.<< NO indeed, we need to pay our professors more and listen to them more, like the Chinese do. But too many people misunderstand the mind of a scientist. We must undrstand the scientific community is our firstline of defense n this new highly technological world. It was the scientific community inventing the atom bomb that protected us form the possibility of Hitler getting it first. Today our competition is with china and India as to who will dvelop a quantum computer first. Einstein was obsessed with light. He was not thinking about getting rich. He was trying to understand light and why Newtons equations did not work perfectly; and the relationship between electro magnatism and energy. When Einstein realized light was a constant then the only other thing that could change in E+MC2 was time. So time had to be something real which slowed down as mass increased in velocity. Einstein said the highlight if his day in his old age were his walks and discussions with Godel, the worlds greatst logician. People who live in the world of ideas, like scientists, are like explororers and are driven by curiosity. And we need to respect them.
