Einstein's absence from AtD is indeed remarkable (if not complete, as Ya Sam 
pointed out). Monte has already speculated about his absence in this post:

- and in this post, I tried to give my take on some of the possible reasons 
for the absence:

.....maybe a small fraction of the beginning of a possible explanation, but 
other inputs are surely needed. I look very much forward to your 
science-literate take on these matters (a-and if you like the science aspect 
of Pynchon, you'll love GR).
