I find it an amusing corollary that later in life, no one was able to convince Einstein of the truth--or at least the usefulness--of quantum mechanics. A failing of the anti-authoritarian mindset is that if you have an opposed opinion to an authority on an issue--and that authority happens to be right--you'll never figure this out until you work it out for yourself. Ummm... Einstein's nobel prize was regarding quantum physics? Einstein never disputed quantum mechanics. What he disputed was the (non-falsifiable, and hence not-a-scientific-theory) Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics. He sided with those with a different interpretation.
