I suspect that when we discover the means by which space time is constructed (of big,heavy somethings), that Einstein will look ‘dumb’ for having distracted us for a century or more, by solving the question of electromagnetic radiation (light) rather than the problem of the construction of the universe. A particularly obvious human cognitive bias in retrospect.

it certainly appears that what we see of the universe in the radiant spectrums consists of little more than the sparklers and we are still ignorant of what it is that casts them off. We live off the sparkles, and we see a world of sparkles, but like the maggot we feast on the waste, not the beast.

I say this not because I know some particular secret about the universe. But because I know a few particular secrets about the mind of man and the consistency of errors he makes. And just how difficult it is to circumvent those errors in each great leap forward.
