How? The paper barely mentions gravity and completely omits strong and weak forces.

Did Einstein "dream" about unifying the strong and weak forces with gravity? Anyone have a good timeline on what we knew about the weak force and when? Maybe most of the developments occurred after or just prior to his death in 1955? He was already 53 when the neutron was discovered. I kind of thought most of the strong interaction stuff wasn't really figured out until the mid 1960's.
Einstein died before we learned that quantum entanglement was not local and occurs over distance. The book "Einstein's Unfinished Revolution"[0] talks about what he knew and what was found after his death. It also talks about where and why modern quantum mechanics diverge from his theories.

Thank you for your input. I apologize. I was trying to get curious.
