A new book reveals the 22-year effort by FBI director J Edgar Hoover to get Albert Einstein arrested as a political subversive or even a Soviet spy.
Uncovered FBI files are revealed in a book by Fred Jerome who says it was a clash of cultures — Einstein's challenge and change with Hoover's order and obedience.

I recently read an article which stated that Oxford scientists proved mathematically, that there are parallel universes, where every outcome is played out in its own "world". So I was wondering, what if people who push for creation science to be taught in schools actually had their way? What if the world was flooded with creation scientists. There would be real scientists of course, but in the course of human evolution (pun intended) more creation scientists were trained. And I'm speaking of the US in particular. Would our science and engineering courses be plagued with so many inaccuracies that we would never be able to engineer anything useful or contribute to human knowledge? This is a bit of hyperbole, but keep in mind, there are many complaints on how the US is lagging behind in science and engineering.
