Where are the "Einsteinians?"

Lee Smolin (theoritical physicist, major contributor to loop quantum gravity) writes about the path that Einstein chose to take, and why, he (Smolin) thinks, theres a dearth of professional theoritical physicists with the same moral clarity as his. Nice read on Einstein's work, and the world of theoritical physics and physicists.

For more than two centuries after Newton published his theories of space, time, and motion in 1687, most physicists were Newtonians. They believed, as Newton did, that space and time are absolute, that force causes acceleration, and that gravity is a force conveyed across a vacuum at a distance. Since Darwin there are few professional biologists who are not Darwinians, and if most psychologists no longer often call themselves Freudians, few doubt that there is an unconscious or that sexuality plays a big role in it. So as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s great discoveries, the question arises: How many professional physicists are Einsteinians?
