Quotes About Einstein

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.

Formerly, people thought that if matter disappeared from the universe, space and time would remain. Relativity declares that space and time would disappear with matter.

why do people venerate Einstein or Bill Gates? Clive Bell explains: Genius worship is the inevitable sign of an uncreative age....

At one point, Einstein had commented: 'It is quite wrong to try founding a theory on observable magnitudes alone. In reality the very opposite happens. It is the theory which decides what we can observe.

Einstein said, "A human being is part of the whole, called by us the universe. He experiences his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest … this a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

The sphere is a symbol of the cosmos and the totality of manifest creation. Very large and very small things in nature tend to be spherical. Einstein discovered that a point in four dimensions (i.e. you here and now) is a sphere expanding at the speed of light, and all we can see of the entire universe is inside an event-horizon sphere. The cube represents the earth.

So it is not an accident that the Nazi lads vent a particular fury against (Einstein). He does truly stand for what they most dislike, the opposite of the blond beast intellectualist, individualist, supernationalist, pacifist, inky, plump... How should they know the glory of the free-ranging intellect and soft objective sympathy to whom money and violence, drink and blood and pomp, mean absolutely nothing?

Relativity physics is especially interested in invariants, and it has discovered and named a few more. It is a common mistake to suppose that Einstein's theory of relativity asserts that everything is relative. Actually, it says: 'There are absolute things in the world but you must look deeply for them. The things that first present themselves to your notice are for the most part relative'.

The appearance of a four-dimensional world is due to Minkowski. Einstein showed the relativity of the familiar quantities of physics; Minkowski showed how to recover the absolute by going back to their four-dimensional origin and searching more deeply.

Einstein was right about relativity, but even he would have had a difficult time applying relative valuation in today's stock markets.

It is Einstein's famous equation E=MC^2, in which E is energy (rajas), M is mass (tamas), and C is the speed of light (sattva). Energy, mass, and light are endlessly bound together in the universe.

What if we use Einstein's special theory of relativity to freeze time? The reason is simple and precise. The idea of freezing time is to freeze our love; Love always young and charming.

Experimentally, we now have demonstrated that Einstein's theory is right in strong gravitational fields. That's important to a lot of people.

As Einstein noted, past, present, and future all occur simultaneously.

Everything move...you wonder how it all knows where to go. Einstein wondered how birds knew where to migrate to. He thought they might follow lines of light in the sky. He saw everything as lines of light. That's how he was built. So we don't know how he moved, either. Any more than the birds.

Physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky action at a distance.

Einstein says common sense is just habit of thought. It's how we're used to thinking about things, but a lot of the time it just gets in the way.

The speed of time is 1 hour per hour, no matter what else is going on in the universe.

Even Einstein had to rely for his time on his clock.

Lo importante es no dejar de interrogarse. La curiosidad tiene su propia razón de existir. Uno no puede evitar sentirse pasmado cuando se contemplan los misterios de la eternidad, de la vida, de la maravillosa estructura de la realidad. Es suficiente con que uno trate de aprehender un poco de ese misterio cada día. No pierda nunca una santa curiosidad. ALBERT EINSTEIN

It is a good principle in science not to believe any 'fact'---however well attested---until it fits into some accepted frame of reference. Occasionally, of course, an observation can shatter the frame and force the construction of a new one, but that is extremely rare. Galileos and Einsteins seldom appear more than once per century, which is just as well for the equanimity of mankind.

Einsteinian time dilation.

Albert Einstein, who had been exiled from Germany for his guilty devotion to mathematics, world peace, and the violin, was now exiled from America for the same crimes.
