&gt; But yet, there isn&#x27;t a crisis in physics at all since these theorists are so far removed from reality, I don&#x27;t really care what they think. They don&#x27;t really tell use anything useful or interesting so I tend to ignore them.<p>Einstein was a theoretical physicist. Without his theories:<p>* Japan might not have been defeated in WWII.<p>* There might be more coal power plants, because there would be no nuclear power plants.<p>* GPS probably would never have worked.<p>* We&#x27;d have fewer successful space missions.<p>* There would be no superconductive magnets.<p>* There would be no digital cameras or solar cells.<p>* There would be no lasers.<p>I could keep going if you want...<p>References:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Albert_Einstein" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Albert_Einstein</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Theory_of_relativity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Theory_of_relativity</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.guidetothecosmos.com&#x2F;present_wwe.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.guidetothecosmos.com&#x2F;present_wwe.html</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Theoretical_physics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Theoretical_physics</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nuclear_fission" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nuclear_fission</a>
