Einstein's melanchony was the paradox of motion.

Einstein could not let go of the theory that nothing travels faster than light. And if there was to be a unified field, the result would be a sycronous motion throughout the universe. That would take an excess speed of C.
He built himself a paradox of motion. The speed of light stopped his evolution.

Had he removed the flaw, he would have found E=M, and his search concluded.
