Quotes About Einstein

Of course, Einstein was a very great scientist indeed, and I have enormous respect for him, and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world.

There is a disturbing fact about current science. If a contemporary journal editor received a manuscript from an unknown clerk working in a nondescript place, that editor would, in all likelihood, reject it, possibly without even reading it. Yet Einstein, an unknown clerk working in a nondescript place, produced one of the most significant and beautiful manuscripts in the history of physics.

lo dijo Einstein: «Ningún problema puede ser resuelto en el mismo nivel de conciencia en el que se creó».

Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.

God gave you a brain. Do the best you can with it. And you don't have to be Einstein, but Einstein was mentally tough. He believed what he believed. And he worked out things. And he argued with people who disagreed with him. But I'm sure he didn't call everybody jerks.

The manager believes soccer is a science and the field a laboratory, but the genius of Einstein and the subtlety of Freud is not enough for the owners and the fans. They want a miracle worker like Our Lady of Lourdes, with the stamina of Gandhi.

If one looks at the works of Newton to Einstein, they were never scientists in the way modernity understands the term.

Time is bunk.

When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory.

Pulsars are in an ideal part of the universe to test Einstein's theory of relativity - so far, it's holding up well. They may even one day act as navigational beacons for spacecraft. I'll never tire of them; they really are the most extraordinary objects.

Today, all physicists know from studying Einstein and Bohr that sometimes an idea which looks completely paradoxical at first, if analyzed to completion in all detail and in experimental situations, may, in fact, not be paradoxical.

Einstein. Where did you learn to kiss like that?" I laughed "Would you believe books?" "No. I would not believe books.

Einstein once said, "If I had 20 days to solve a problem, I would take 19 days to define it,

There is a famous joke, attributed to Einstein: "When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and it's longer than any hour. That's relativity." I don't know whether Einstein actually ever said those words. But I do know that's not relativity.

Rµv - (1/2)Rgµv = 8?GTµv. This is the equation that a physicist would think of if you said "Einstein's equation"; that E = mc2 business is a minor thing,

That's what it was like to be Einstein in 1905: You publish a groundbreaking paper that helps lay the foundations of quantum mechanics, and for which you later win the Nobel Prize, but it's only the second-most important paper that you publish in that issue of the journal.

This change in the conception of reality is the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton. Refering to James Clerk Maxwell's contributions to physics.

Michio Kaku and Albert Einstein, they're both so ahead of our time. It's just fascinating to read about them, what their theories are on loopholes and everything else. It's fascinating stuff.

Einstein theorized that time travel was possible, but he was looking at it as unidirectional, going forward. Traveling into the past is much more problematic, as countless stories have demonstrated!

Relativity theory forced the abandonment, in principle, of absolute space and absolute time.

Einstein's Monsters, by the way, refers to nuclear weapons, but also to ourselves. We are Einstein's monsters, not fully human, not for now.

How do you think the world popped into existence? - I'd say wee we are at least five Albert Einsteins away from answering this question.

I merely wish to point out that some of the major break-throughs in the history of science represent such dramatic tours de force, that 'ripeness' seems a very lame explanation, and 'chance' no explanation at all. Einstein discovered the principle of relativity 'unaided by any observation that had not been available for at least fifty years before'; the plum was overripe, yet for half a century nobody came to pluck it.

I often wonder what Einstein would have done in my position. At Peterson, I kept an Einstein poster in my room, the one that says 'Imagination is more important than knowledge.' Einstein was smart, maybe even as smart as Laserator, but he played it way too safe. Then again, nobody ever threw a grappling hook at Einstein. I like to think he would have enjoyed my work, if he could have seen it. But no one sees anything I do, not until it's hovering over Chicago.
