These days Einstein could just put his paper on arXiv and worry about publication later. The physics community goes nuts about arXiv results all the time. There's zero review if you have a university email (or national lab etc). I tend to agree that peer review has flaws. But given the ease with which someone can publish anything with no review whatsoever it seems reasonable that peer review might shift to fill a niche that is slower and less disruptive.
