While it important to rememer Einstein's great scientific acheivements, I suggest that it is even more important to remember what he and all scientists since have failed to achieve, as well as possible reasons why there has been this failure, in developing a successful theory of everything.

Could this failure posibly be due to the fact be that the physics of the 20th century was so dominated by the quest of gaining a knowledge of and control over the physical forces that the possibility of developing a quite different kind of unifying theory was overlooked?

I have concluded that this is so and that a paper written in 1935 by Einstein and two of his colleagues provided the first vital clue to the development of a new theory of everything.

Such is a theory which reqires enough natural and experimental evidence to be examined together so as justify and describe enough details of a cause acting in addition to all the forces.

And this is the cause that produces what Eistein called the "spooky action at a distance" that produces quantum entanglement, an effect that was recently measured to occur at the distance of around 90 miles between light beams in an experiment in the Canary Islands.
