Article.

This is actually pretty interesting.

Is society's structure different from back then so that a new Einstein could be held back and never discovered?

Personally, I think yes, but I'm not sold they such a person couldn't have been held back then as well.

I like how in the article they admit that they throw away theories that could be "brilliant" because the current climate calls them "crackpot".
