The '20 thing...Hi Stefan,<BR/><BR/>thanks for this nice post! The '20 things you need to know...' are indeed interesting. I am especially grateful for #17 (Are Einstein’s theories still accepted? Yes.) and #18 (Didn’t Einstein reject quantum mechanics? He believed that quantum mechanics [...] did not give a complete description of the universe.)
