Admin1: Assume that Einstein traveled through a suitable spacetime and after a smooth passage through a good wormhole landed at Princeton with only minor and superficial burns caused by Hawking radiation. What would be your advise to Einstein?
Doctor Gravytee: I would tell Einstein to start studying General Relativity. If he wants to be admitted in any alphysics department as a first year student he needs to buy a copy of MTW and start cramming General Relativity.
A1: He is the father of General Relativity.
Dr. G: Einstein the original human being as opposed to Einstein the mythological figure wrote only about two dozen pages on General Relativity in his lifetime. Since Einstein's passing those two dozen pages multiplied into 700,000 billion pages. Einstein's commentators proved to be more prolific than the commentators on Aristotle and Newton combined. As we speak thousands of Doctors of Philosophy around the world are composing scholastic commentary on Einstein's General Relativity.
A1: Are you implying that if Einstein applied to Princeton today he would be denied admission?
Dr. G: That's a certainty. Since Einstein's time alphysics has reached levels of elegant absurdity never even dreamed of by Einstein. But this may be good for Einstein and alphysics. Einstein may be forced to make a living once again by working in a patent office and he may come up with another fantastic theory.
A1: I don't think this is possible any longer. In modern US workplace no employee can spend so much time doing his research on employer's time. Furthermore, today The Theory is the ultimate elegant theory. Even Einstein will not be able to imagine a more elegant theory even if he worked in a patent office with an understanding boss.
Dr. G: Do not understimate the power of mythology.
