That’s because the searching for a unified (统一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved. But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon. For one thing, physics is quite a different field today. In Einsteins day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians. Education is different, too. One extremely important aspect of Einsteins training that failed to be considered is the philosophy he read as a teenager. It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time. And he was a skilled musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem. Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts. Besides, those who stay in science don’t work alone. It’s very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this. 1. Which of the following best explains why the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet? A. Education today doesn’t pay enough attention to philosophy teaching. B.
