Closer to the recognition that we know zip I would think Alex..

I am sure there is an answer to the question, but whether or not mankind will find this answer in my lifetime.. Thats another question all together. The problem I see is that people hold onto science history so tightly that they lose the ability to consider different options and different approaches to the question... GR was not fully accepted from day one, simply because people held onto Newtonian gravity for so long that the thought of something as radical as GR was hard to come to terms with..

Einstein didn't like the idea of QM at all, even after lengthy debates with plank and bohr, he still did not want a bar of it.. Why? Because it did not always agree with GR, and GR is how he'd come to understand the universe...
