Great discussion people.
I just want to add that Einstein used Reimannian mathematics for most of his work in GR and simply followed the work of Hertz and Plank to "discover" (and i use that term losely) the photoelectric effect which he won the nobel prize for.
Please dont get me wrong, im not belittling the poor guy, in fact i think his contributions were immense, but in no way was he a one man show and as renorm put it, the beginning and end of physics.
