Perhaps "quantum leap" was a bad choice of words, but how about the PC,
Software, Automobile, Airplanes, Telephones, Electricity and electric
lights, Evolution, Calculus,
Physics, and as you mentioned Einstein. The seed often comes from a single
mind. Agreed
it takes a group to change the world :)....

> name some...a "quantum leap" implies radically different ways of thinking
and viewing nature and the universe, such as einstein's matter-energy
conversion equation and the eventually development of the atomic bomb and
controlled fission in nuclear reactors. really big discoveries require
equally large research budgets and personnel. i don't think that a couple of
guys hacking together in a basement will discover a limitless energy supply.
the cold fusion myth/hoax has damaged serious scientific credibility in the
alternative energy research arena.
