I can only imagine what he was like in his youth.

I rejected being a president of Nigeria once, just that no media house took the story up.

UjSizzle:
Refusing to be the president of Israel was quite admirable. I cannot think of any Nigerian who would own up to lacking the necessary skills needed to rule a nation.

F

What a man!

Happy Birthday to my Hero

No love for him and all his people tho,synagogue of Satan they are

great physicist who graced mother earth....just imagine stealing his eyes and brain dis man was simply EXTRAORDINARY

Happy Birthday Sir! Even in death!
My friends call you my God father, cus I teach them so much about you! You were a wonderful man, when you were on this earth!

Thank you for every thing you did for mankind!

Respect.

I'm often in awe.

Happy birthday Albert.

You contributed your quota.

A good portion of what is done here is based on personal judgement, so if you have a topic you think should make homepage, mention a mod and we'll put it up in the suggestion thread (and let the supermods decide if it's homepage worthy.)
That will be a lot more effective than the utterly unnecessary conversation you're having now.

I am d new Albert Einstein! Would lik u to b Mrs Einstein?

RIP Uncle Albert, we all miss you

Which Aristotle are u talking about? Is the Greek philosopher or another one? For me Aristotle was greater than Einstein.

I am yet to find the black man, no matter how poor or poorly educated that'll turn down a chance to be President

Lol. Aristotle doesn't even come close to Einstein. Aristotle is more of a philosopher than a scientist. If you did say Issac Newton, then maybe I won't contend your post but Aristotle isn't in the same bracket as Einstein. Just imagine the concept of space and time being explained with simple mathematics, the existence of black holes, gravitational fields, nuclear energy.........

All the money from the prize went to his first wife as a divorce settlement.


As part of the divorce settlement, the couple agreed that the money from the prize he anticipated he would win would go into a savings account for their sons, Hans and Eduard.

The money was eventually used to buy three houses in Zurich -- one for Mileva to live in, and two others as investments.

His eyes remain in a safe box in NYC.


Not only did the doctor who illegally performed Einstein's autopsy steal his brain, he also stole his eyes. He gave the eyes to Einstein's eye doctor, Henry Abrams. They are kept in a safety deposit box in New York City to this day.


He was the inspiration for Yoda.

Stuart Freeborn, the movie makeup artist who created Yoda, modelled the jedi's face on his own, but added wrinkles inspired by Einstein to Yoda's eyes to denote wisdom and intelligence.


One of Einstein's most famous quotes is completely misinterpreted.


"God does not play dice with the universe" is one of Einstein's most famous and somewhat cryptic quotes.

His reference to God often causes people to assume he was religious -- he wasn't. He was using God as a metaphor. In a letter he wrote in 1954, he said:

"I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."

And when Einstein said "does not play dice," he was referring to the unpredictable nature of subatomic particles in quantum physics.

In short, the quote aims to outline how weird quantum mechanics is as a theory. You can read more on Tech Insider.

Einstein's main passion wasn't science.

Despite all his other talents and achievements, music was what made Einstein happiest. He never traveled without his violin and once said: "Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music.”

I think Einstein was a theist(though not religious)..

In most of his quotes, he makes reference to "God".

This got me thinking! Science without religion is lame; and Religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein.

Socrates is greater than Aristotle..
Socrates, Epicurus, Aristotle, Plato, Epictetus, Gandi, Heraclitus, Confucus e.t.c are in the same bracket..

But in case of Einstein, I think he is same bracket with Pythagoras, Isaac Newton, Michael faraday, e.t.c


I like Einstein most..

That one na scientist too? A craftsman using metaphysical powers to design and build.

that's because You don't no me yet..u did respect me more bro. holler

Ha, I say na Mr Jack of all trade be that . Known for his, painting, sculpting,
architecture, science, music, mathematics,
engineering, literature, anatomy, geology,
astronomy, botany, writing, history, and
cartography. He has been variously called the
father of palaeontology, ichnology, and
architecture, and is widely considered one of the best painter of all time.

hahahahaha, sorry Ancient man
I thought u were history.

Albert Einstein had many discoveries as a scientist, but is most known for his Theory of Relativity. This theory changed much in the way scientists look at the world and set the foundation for many modern inventions, including the nuclear bomb and nuclear energy.

the theory of relativity is actually two theories that Albert Einstein came up with in the early 1900s. One is called "special" relativity and the other is called "general" relativity.
He said that all motion was "relative". This meant that the measurement of motion depended on the relative velocity and position of the observer.

Another interesting result of special relativity is length contraction. Length contraction is when objects appear shorter the faster they are moving in relation to the observer. This effect only occurs as objects reach very high speeds.

If a spaceship 100 feet long was flying by you at ½ the speed of light, it would appear to be 87 feet long. If it sped up to .95 the speed of light, it would only appear to be 31 feet long. Of course, this is all relative. To people on board the space ship, it would always appear to be 100 feet long.

The same bracket me mean in terms of Era or works. Cos amongst them all, Aristotle had the greatest works, followed by Plato even though plato was kind putting down Socrates views into wirting since Socrates didn't write. Plato was Socrates' mouth piece.

Yea, courtesy of metaphysical powers.
