Einstein biography quote

Any memory is painted today - and, therefore, deceptive. I do not think so much about the dangers that technological progress directly presents to humanity, such as strangling joint reflections of the “material-phaactic” habit of thinking, which has laced the murderous frost between human relationships. Without "ethical culture" there is no salvation for humanity.

I Believe, Indeed, That OvereMphhasis On the Purely Intellectual Attitude, Offten Directed Solely to the Practical and Factual, In Our Education, Has Led Directly to The Impairment of Ethical Values. I am not Thinking So Much of the Dangeers with Which Technical Progress Has Directly Confronted Mankind, As of the Stifling of Mutual Human Consides by A "Matter-OF-FACT" HABIT OF THE THUGHT HASH HAS COME to LIE Like A Killing Frost Upon Human Relations.

Without "Ethical Culture," the is no salvation for Humanity. He has powerful muscles, but there is no face. However, the results are almost always presented to the reader in finished form. He does not experience the joy of searches and finds, does not feel the living process of the formation of ideas, and he rarely manages to achieve a clear understanding of all the circumstances that allowed to choose this particular way.

Only the unlimited honesty of the author, who should not be afraid to give his readers, leading ideas, even if these ideas are imperfect, can help. In theoretical physics, there is hardly an area in which this commandment would be more difficult to follow than in statistical mechanics. The content of the latest paragraphs shows how clear and simply a born mathematician can solve this problem.

If they begin to denigrate me, then the characteristics will change places: for Germany I will become a “Swiss Jew”, and for England it will become a “German scientist”. I managed to notice it. I Was Fortunate Enure to Notice this. If it turns out that she is incorrect, the French will call me a German, and the Germans will be a Jew. I also always felt vague alienation, and the desire to go into myself is increasing over the years.

The Ideals Which Havy Always Shone Before Me and Filled Me with the Joy of Living Are Goodness, Beauty, and Truth. I have NEVER BELONGED WHOLEHEARTELY to COUNTRY OR STATE, To My Circle of Friends, Or Even To My Own Family. These Ties has Always Been Accompanied by a vague aloofness, and the wish to Whathdraw into myself Increases with the years. It comes itself soon.

Therefore, I stopped putting on socks. So I Stopped Wearing Socks. Wieler This House Will Never Become a Place of Pilgrimage Where The Pilgrims Come to look at the Bones of the Saint. Everything that, in his opinion, is worth thinking about, he understood in early childhood. On the contrary, I developed so slowly that I began to ask questions about space and time, already being an adult.

As a result, I penetrated this subject much deeper than an ordinary child. My goal was to enter the polytechnic, although I did not quite clearly imagine how this could be done. I was wayward, but a modest young man who acquired his necessary knowledge sporadically, mainly by self -education. I longed for deep knowledge, but the training did not seem to me a slight task: I was little adapted to memorize and had a bad memory.

This school left in me an indelible trace thanks to its liberal spirit and modest seriousness of teachers who did not rely on any ostentatious authorities; A comparison with six -year training in the authoritarian -controlled German gymnasium convincingly showed me how upbringing in the spirit of freedom and a sense of personal responsibility is above education, which is based on the drill, external authority and ambition.

Real democracy is not an empty illusion. In the same year, I had a question in Arau: if you could chase behind a light wave at the speed of light, would we have a wave field beyond our time? This still seems impossible! This was the first children's mental experiment, which belonged to the special theory of relativity. Soon I noticed that I was content with the role of a mediocre student.

But usually I “skipped” a lot and with sacred zeal studied the houses of the Corifei theoretical physics. But the highest mathematics still interested me little in my student years. It seemed to me that it was so branched area that you can easily waste all your energy in a distant province. A light of sacred curiosity can fade off for a long time. Fortunately, I had this intellectual depression after a successful completion of study lasted only a year.

And look at what came of it! He knows how this heap of letters annoys me, and therefore tries to bite the postman. The concepts that are useful in ordering things easily gain such authority with us that we forget about their earthly origin and perceive them as something invariably given.In this case, they are called “logically necessary”, “a priori data”, etc.

Such errors often block the path of scientific progress for a long time. Therefore, the analysis of the concepts we have long used and the identification of the circumstances on which their validity, suitability depends on, as they arise from the data of experience, is not idle fun. Such an analysis allows you to undermine an excessively large authority of these concepts. They will be discarded if they cannot be legalized properly, corrected, if they do not quite correspond to these things, replaced by others, if it is necessary to create some new one, in some respects a more preferred system.

Such deep mathematical knowledge is rare in combination with common sense and such flexibility of thinking as his. It was these talents that allowed him to perform important theoretical work in those areas that frightened other researchers with mathematical difficulties. The incentive reason for its inexhaustible creativity, apparently, can be considered a much greater extent the joy of an artist, revealing a subtle connection of mathematical concepts than the desire to know hidden dependencies in nature.

Therefore, it is clear why his first theoretical works belonged to heavenly mechanics, the branches of knowledge, the foundations of which can be considered a much greater extent finally established than the foundations of any other area of ​​exact sciences. Charlie Chaplin: I admire you even more. No one in the world understands your theory of relativity, but you still have become a great person.

I hope that subsequent generations will be no less appreciated and the example that you give them with your whole life. His work gave him a more significant good. This ability allowed him to be an incomparable teacher. For the same reason, he was invited to scientific congresses, because he always introduced grace and clarity in discussions. He fought against vague and verbosity; At the same time, he used his insight and was frankly ignorant.

Some of his expressions could be interpreted as arrogant, but his tragedy consisted precisely in almost painful unbelief in himself. He constantly suffered from the fact that his critical abilities ahead of constructive abilities. The critical feeling was robbed, so to speak, a love of the creation of one’s own mind even before it arose. In Leiden, students and colleagues loved and respected him.

They knew his absolute devotion to the case of teaching and constant readiness to come to the rescue. The reason was that he did not feel at the level of the high task that was supposed to fulfill.

And, as in the case of Gandhi, first of all, this influence is due to the example that he gave with work and his whole life. At any moment she felt that she was serving society, and her great modesty did not leave a place for self -love. She was constantly depressed by a sense of cruelty and injustice of society. It was this that gave her a form of external severity, so easily incorrectly understood by those who were not close to her-a strange severity that was not softened by any artificial effort.

The most outstanding feat of her whole life - the proof of the existence of radioactive elements and their receipt - owes its implementation not only of bold intuition, but also devotion to the work, perseverance in the performance of work with the most incredible difficulties, which is not often found in the history of experimental science. If European intellectuals possessed even a small part of the strength of the character of Madame Curie and its devotion to the cause, Europe would have been waiting for a more brilliant future.

Roerich in New York Her Strength, Her PURITY OF WILL, HER AUSTERITY TOWARD HERSELF, Her Objectible Judgment --ll There of a Kind Selladom Found JoineD in a AN AN AN AN Single Individual. She Felt Herself at EVERY MOMENT To BE A Sernant of Society and Her Profound Modesty Never Left Any Room for Complicency. She Was Oppressed by An Abiding Sense for the Asperities and Inequites of Society.

This is What Gave Her that Severe Outward Aspect, So Easily Misinterpreded by Those Were Not Close to Her - a Curious Severity Unreelieded by Artistic Strain. Once She Had Recognized a Certain Way as the Right One, She Pursued Itsite Compromise and with Extreme Tenace. The Greatest Scientific Deed of Her Life - Proving the Existence of Radioactive Elements and Isolation Them Accomplishment Not Merely to a Devotion and Tenaticity in Execution Under the Most Extreme Hardships Imaginable, Such as the History of Experiental Science Has Not Offten Witnessed.

IF But A Small Part of Mme. I am sure that he would have developed a special theory of relativity if this had not been done in another place, for he clearly noticed its essential features. It happened that he donated a lot of time and energy to clarify political issues. None of those who turned to his public consciousness left him empty -handed.The true moral greatness of his personality was the cause that caused a fierce hatred of many intellectuals, most often limited.
