And you're still arguing that relativity is more popular than quantum theory. Check the numbers in classrooms all over the country, you'll see that I'm right.

The idea of unification alone allows the theory the bring people together in a way that your made up quantum mechanics never could. Jumping through space and time? Do you even understand QED? Planck's constant, h: This constant defines the ratio between a particle's energy and its frequency. If used in conjunction with the mass and the charge of an electron, the size of all atoms, of all kinds, anywhere in the universe can be determined. That can get anybody going.
I remember back in 1977 when my fellow physicist Gary Allabate was trying to convince me of the superstring theory and black holes. We were at Bryce Foley's Lab back when he used to run his very own Commodore PET that actually had an Internet modem connection at 1200 bps and used a system that paved the way for the Lotus software company. Bryce was cooking up some equations that were going to blow our minds when all of the sudden there must have been a particle shift in the room because everything started to sway and shake. Gary blamed the absinthe but I swore we used plenty of sugar cubes to diffuse the toxicity and inebriation effects but according to Bryce, we were all "put out". I don't even remember the next morning!
