That is about the stupidest thing I have ever read here on Vortex. Einstein was a highly valued employee at the Patent Office, but in 1909 he was lured away by the best physicists in Europe to the university of his choice, where he set the terms and conditions. He was given a professorship with no teaching responsibilities (what he wanted). He was a star academic; one of the hottest, most sought-after scientists in academic history. No one ever tried to "stifle" him. In 1921 they gave him the Nobel Prize. Please, Jack, learn a little history. - Jed
