Einstein had much trouble grappling with the concepts of Quantum Physics. For example, Oppenheimer had to explain Feynman Diagrams to Einstein who for the longest time was not willing to accept them.

Einstein desperately wanted to understand the relationships between electromagnetic and gravity - the unified equation. Much of this still eludes us due to massive ignorance of Quantum Physics. Again, this is why the Haldron particle accelerator in Europe will be so important and why the super collider is TX was even moreso essential to the advancement of mankind. It is why so many robot satellites are necessary to obtain concepts we cannot measure or detect on earth. It is why the redirection of funds for political gain in science (rather than technical accomplishment) is so destructive to mankind advancement.

The point is so much of what we are trying to accomplish - from fuel efficient cars and less pollution, understand the mystery that was once called cold fusion, advanced communication and computing, new supermaterials and super conductors, better application of limited energy reserves, etc all have basic mysteries found in an exotic science called Quantum Physics.
