How much Knowledge about science and math has changed since Einstein?

[!Jon Snow!]

This is a question about how much general knowledge about science and math has changed since Einstein's death about 60 years ago. What are some ideas in math and science that have been discovered that Einstein would have had no knowledge of?

WHat sticks out is:
- quarks and the standard model
- discovery of CMB radiation
- discovery of Einstein-Bose condensate fifth state of matter
- accelerating expansion of the universe
- Higgs boson discovery
...

Hi !Jon Snow!.
Since you are posting in the physics forum, I will mention some physics beyond Einstein:

• Accelerating universe
• Cosmic microwave background
• Quarks
• Standard Model (of particle physics)
• Neutrino Oscillation
• and Exoplanets (to add some science/astronomy)

Thank you both +1

Bell's theorem and related stuff about entangled particles, and the experiments that have been done to test them.
