I'm interested in learning what Einstein thought of his own theories later in his life and came across the following quote.
"You imagine that I look back on my life's work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track."
— Albert Einstein, on his 70th birthday, in a letter to Maurice Solovine, 28 March 1949 (in B. Hoffman Albert Einstein: Creator and Rebel 1972, p.328)
I'm just wondering if it was taken out of context or if he really did not believe in his own theories later in life. Anyone have a clue? Someone quoted that on a website trying to disprove relativity.
