The subheaded quote
"There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable" - Albert Einstein
The quote subheading the Nuclear Energy Subsection. I was so appalled to see this quote here. It is perhaps the WORST quote you could have chosen to subhead this topic. First, Albert Einstein died over 50 years ago, and as you should know, science changes basically on a daily basis. Second, this was said BEFORE any fair amount of research was conducted on the topic. Third, He sent a series of letters to President Roosevelt during WWII which urged him to fund the Manhattan Project, which researched nuclear reactions, which would be mustered into a bomb, before the Germans developed one. Would he try to urge research on a subject he believe "was not obtainable"? Fourth, perhaps the most amazing super awesome fact is that we already have nuclear energy. Ummmmmmmmmmm that's kind of self explanatory eh?
Just pointing out how plain dumb and amazingly outdated that quote it. Don't insult Einstein by putting a quote here that he would regret saying with the progress we have made since he said it.
