Einstein caused the photon to be accepted in scientific societies. The idea of the photon had been tossed around a little before that, but it was not generally accepted. But there are still problems with photons, even though we can slow them down, stop them, store them, and generally do some interesting and useful things with them. When the photon finally goes away like any passing fad, Einstein will go with it.

Daniel and the Coming King---Daniel 9

By Dr.Desmond Ford... GNU

"Sir Isaac Newton, the greatest of scientists prior to the modern period, wrote a commentary upon the prohecies of Daniel and Revelations. He described Daniel 9:24-27 as "the foudation-stone of the Christian religion" because centuries in advance it gave the time of appearance of the Messiah and His death, as well as a comprehensive description of His saving work in heaven and earth. The prophecy likewise tells what would be the fate of the Jews consequent upon their rejection of the One whose coming they had long anticpated. The destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, foretold in Daniel 9:24-27, was history's testimony that the offerings and services of the sanctuary had met their fulfillment in the advent of the promised Messiah."
