I also dunno about this one. There are an infinite number of possible solutions. Einstein rejected a 5-dimensional solution because it didn't feel right, which if we might use Einstein's gut as a guide, makes solutions less than nessarily true even if they are exact.

Let's not forget, Einstein also rejected the cosmological constant and the expansion of the universe...I think he felt it didn't feel right either.

Later he claimed it was his biggest mistake...

May be an infinite number of solutions, but most of the solutions don't work. Something about there being other dimensions and such.

This is why winemaking is such arduous work, to say nothing of making good beer out of rice!
