The genius of Albert Einstein, who added a 'cosmological constant' to his equation for the expansion of the universe but then retracted it, may be vindicated by new research."58

Einstein's 1905 burst of creativity was astonishing. He had devised a revolutionary quantum theory of light, helped prove the existence of atoms, explained Brownian motion, upended the concept of space and time, and produced what would become science's best known equation.

Eisenhower instinctively felt that the gossamer tissue of personal relationships counted for far more than the formal architecture of his table of organization in determining the success or failure of his command. "The problem of establishing unity in any allied command," he explained to Lord Louis Mountbatten, "involves the human equation.

This law is called Rule 1. It is also sometimes called the Schrödinger equation. The principle that there is such a law is called unitarity.
