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

AI Thread Summary
Since Einstein's death, significant advancements in science and math have emerged, including the discovery of quarks and the development of the Standard Model of particle physics. The cosmic microwave background radiation and the accelerating expansion of the universe are key findings that would have been unknown to him. Additionally, the discovery of the Higgs boson and phenomena like Bose-Einstein condensates represent major milestones in physics. Other notable concepts include neutrino oscillation and the existence of exoplanets, which expand our understanding of the universe. Overall, the landscape of scientific knowledge has evolved dramatically since Einstein's time.

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?

Thank you both +1
 
Bell's theorem and related stuff about entangled particles, and the experiments that have been done to test them.

Check out the recent scientific Nobel Prizes.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
