People’s thinking in later generations is then confined
within these things, and if someone dares to think higher or intends to go beyond them in
his research, immediately there will be people who say, “Can you really surpass
Einstein?” Why is that? The existing physical environment of modern empirical science
is restraining people.

Wow, this is dumb.

Speaking personally, as a physicist, I would love nothing more than to surpass Einstein. I doubt I will ever have the opportunity.

Any of us would love to be the one who does that. We just realize how high the bar is set.

There is nothing sacred about Einstein and nothing he says is taken as gospel.

All of us want to be the one who changes everything. Nobody is limited by Einstein.
