Let me fill in the missing gap briefly. Einstein was misunderstood. After being famous with his theory of relativity, physicists started discovering new findings in quantum mechanics. The science community wanted in a way, for Einstein to help them out and understand this new physics of the quantum world.
Einstein took notice of this new quantum world but didn't dedicate his time and wisdom with the rest of the world's Physicists. Einstein was busy pursuing his next discovery (Unification theory). Once a famous Einstein now slowly became a "one-hit-wonder" by his peers. Einstein slowly disappeared in the background, while all the Physicists was busy making new discoveries in the quantum world,... Einstein was nowhere to be found in their great discoveries. Einstein died pursuing his last work (unification theory) and didn't finished it.
50 years after Einstein's death, Physicists gathered enough information to take the quantum physics and the theory of relativity to a new level. They have found themselves starting to work on a new understanding of physics.... It is the "theory of everything" - aka: Unification theory. Physicists today found themselves working at sqaure 1 where Einsteins had died trying to solve. They are now continuing Einstein's work on Unification.
You see,... Einstein was 50 years ahead than everybody of his time. They didn't understand what he was working on. After 50 years they realized what Einstein was trying to solve, and now they are continuing his work where he left off.
Einstein is not over-rated in my books,... he was just a misunderstood genius

Well,... Physics is the highest form of all Science. Every catergory of science falls/derived under the catergory of Physics.
