Einstein Year

salla confused.... if i coould....i would knight u nepali Einstein!u do amaze me by making so much time to read things...that is interesting...and well...just amazed how u make the time :o)..cos i never seem to have enuf time...well i guess im a bad planner hehe...and lazy hehehe... (is there a booth where i can confess?i feel like im in the open and well tho i feel like confessing me sins...well u know...scared hehe ;oP)... and yap i will wait what u have to say about Einstein :o)..so make sure u do it ASAP!i have lost me patience!!!errr did i ever have patience?hehe...hmm i need to think about that... laters.... danny (oh yah..mm bro sannga contact chaina?dherai mojh gardai cha jasto lagyo nepal ma...wanna see what he has to say about this topic...heh)

EINTISTIN"S THE MAN.......

Confused bro, You left out a very important fact. He was dyslexic as a child. So, the language was backwards for him. That's why he didn't do well in school. His dyslexic retarded his development. Most geniuses show a lack of interest in school anyway.

einestein is one of the grestest scientist we ever had.not only a brilliant physicist, he was a compassionate human being.very humble,he refused to be the first president of the state of israel.never intimidated by hitler's cruel regime,he stood for the rights of millions of jews.i hope we have more people like him.

Nice to see this posting.Interesting. I think Einstein is the single most significant person of 20th century, who illuminated the scientific truths during his life time. Without Einstein, it could have been another few decades or more before another physicist worked out the concepts and mathematics of General Relativity. HAs played a great role in the invention of atomic bomb but he regreted later saying that he made a greatest mistake in his life. hope to read more :)

What can I say more about his brilliant mind..... Here are few quotes by Einstein: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one" "The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." "When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity." Just Brilliant....

His contribution in physics the theory of relativity which changed our concept of space and time.second of all his idea explaining that light comes in particles called photons for which he received the nobel prize.thirdly his theory of gravity whicht predicts the existence of black holes. more later

More of his quotes He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. another one Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new. Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it. Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.

Check out pictures of the genius at the Caltech photo archives. There are some cool pics of him hanging out with other famous physicists of the day. http://www.search.caltech.edu/... http://archives.caltech.edu/ph... has pictures of several nobel prize winners including feynman, millikan and linus pauling.

Einstein got Ph. D. at the age of 26, became professor around early 30s. Alicia:Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. Neither Gravitation is important when you go to heart of an atom. There exists a force called Nuclear force, quite different from gravitation. Thats very powerful when proton, neutron are very very close and decays very fast as the distance increases. GP

right gp

where is rest of it confused?

Canadian researchers have found that Einstein's brain was 15% wider than normal. Furthermore they have discovered that the part of Einsteins's brain was related to mathematical reasoning.the inferior parietal region was 15 percent wider on both sides than a normal brain. Einstein's brain is owned by scientist John Harvey. Harvey was a pathologist at a small hospital in Princeton, N.J., when Einstein died in 1955 at the age of 76. Harvey performed the autopsy, determined Einstein died of natural causes and took the brain home with him. Albert Einstein was reluctant to sign autographs, and often charged people a dollar before signing anything. He then gave the money to charity. Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952, but he declined. Einstein couldn't speak fluently when he was nine. His parents thought he might be retarded. i think its interesting

Einstein became isolated in his research over a Generalized Theory of Gravitation and was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempts at constructing a theory that would unify General Relativity and quantum mechanics.

thats all for today.

"einstein became isolated in his research over a Generalized Theory of Gravitation and was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempts at constructing a theory that would unify General Relativity and quantum mechanics." alicia - that's the holy grail of modern physics - to come up with a grand theory of everything that unifies the four fundamental forces. 50 yrs since einstein's dealth, lotsa great physicists have died trying to solve this problem. and the criticism of string theory is that none of that shit can be verified experimentally, cos we are dealing with extremely small "stuff," so many reputed physicists of today, including sheldon glashow are strong critics of string theory. looking forward to hearing more about einstein's work on brownian motion and photoelectricity.....

ya I think this theory is not going to be verified experimentally anytime soon, not by conventional means as we are talking abt it at the level of sub atomic particles.Can't believe how much energy its gonna require to study these lil tiny particles.may be length width time n height is not enough for this theory. But many mathematicians have been working on it.so hopefully one day.

yea confused, i used to love this shit. when i was in high school, i used to religiously read scientific american and physics today, although i only understood maybe 20%. I thought i would be a physicist, but when i landed in college i changed course. now i am more of an economist. btw, are/were you a physics major?

pretty nice.i had written something earlier but it said my session expired so everything got lost damn. what abt quantum theoryof light? Einstein's work on quanta of light provides the foundation for revolutionary ideas like our universe is composed of tiny, discrete energy n matter of light? keep on writing more abt it :)
