Now that IS genius at work
True, I mean he argues much of the latter part of his life against quantum mechanics, and by doing so helps the founders of that theory come up with some truely remarkable ideas that underpin mechanics on the very small scale. His own theory, on gravity had the erronious term that no one liked very much, about gravity being repulsive..(he didnt like it either) Now some of the brightest are trying to unite quantum theory and gravity, and even 11 dimensions and all

Sorry k9, I was thinking about if there was quantum gravity, there would be a possibility that interactions would not occur.
