    Interviewer: "What do you think of Einstein's theory of light Mr. Edison"
    Edison : "I don't think much of it, as I don't really understand any of it "
    After reading Einstein's biography and him trying to explain the theory of quantum light and photons, this had me dying in laughter as I felt the same exact way.
