I see where your going with this, but you have to remember that Albert always thought there was a "theory for everything",
what do you think his views on string theory would be? The new sexy exciting physics.
Albert didnt say about the string theory...and used to hate quantum theory..
OK.Basicaly,80s and 70s bbers were far less complete than those bbers of now a day. But they study way a lot more about the creating ilusion on stage. Frank Zane is good example. He didnt have aethtic physic. But LOOKS LIKE he does.Because he analyzed a lot about presentation.Arnold also.People think that he has small waist. Wrong. He knew how to create ilusion and made his waist look thiner by twisting it or whatever.
Thats why i feel anger. Now a day, they do complete nothing about it.
