	Albert Einstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After British solar eclipse expeditions in 1919 reported confirmation that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the Sun in the amount he had predicted in his theory of relativity, Einstein became world-famous, an unusual achievement for a scientist.
		Some might regard the award for the photoelectric effect ironic, not only because Einstein is far better-known for relativity, but also because the photoelectric effect is a quantum phenomenon, and Einstein became somewhat disenchanted with the path quantum theory would take.

		There was even one section in which he uses a picture to represent all of space throughout all of time (the "spacetime loaf", in the book's terminology) and then points out that the perspective shown in the figure, an "outside" perspective looking "in" on spacetime, is a fictitious vantage point that no one actually has.
		In a later chapter where he discusses the prospect of using quantum teleportation to transfer a living being from one location to another, he states a belief that the basis of the mind is entirely physical.
