Top 100 Einstein's Quotes

#1. So what I'm saying is why don't we think about changing Schrodinger's equation at some level when masses become too big at the level that you might have to worry about Einstein's general relativity.

Roger Penrose

Einstein's Quotes #20738
#2. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from apelike ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered.

Stephen Jay Gould

Einstein's Quotes #22229
#3. The star S0-2 orbits around Sgr A* every 16 years and will go through its closest approach in 2018. That's an opportunity to test Einstein's General Relativity theory through very precise measurements of this star's short period orbit.

Andrea M. Ghez

Einstein's Quotes #129589
#4. If one could see an infinite distance, they would observe the back of their head. That is Einstein's theory in a nut-shell.

R. Alan Woods

Einstein's Quotes #152541
#5. Essentially, all expressions of human nature ever produced, from a caveman's paintings to Mozart's symphonies and Einstein's view of the universe, emerge from the same source: the relentless dynamic toil of large populations of interconnected neurons.

Miguel Nicolelis

Einstein's Quotes #153187
#6. Too bad Einstein's dead. I'm sure he would have appreciated my latest discovery
within the space-time continuum.The closer you are to experiencing a monumental event, the longer time
stretches out. It makes you feel alone

Susane Colasanti

Einstein's Quotes #227065
#7. Time, for example, is intimately connected with the goddess Kali, which partly accounts for her destructive nature. Energy - in Einstein's equation, E=MC2 - is personified in India as Shakti in her various guises.

Roger Housden

Einstein's Quotes #250193
#8. In Einstein's theory of relativity the observer is a man who sets out in quest of truth armed with a measuring-rod. In quantum theory he sets out with a sieve.

Arthur Eddington

Einstein's Quotes #262975
#9. Einstein - the greatest Jew since Jesus. I have no doubt that Einstein's name will still be remembered and revered when Lloyd George, Foch and William Hohenzollern share with Charlie Chaplin that ineluctable oblivion which awaits the uncreative mind.

John B. S. Haldane

Einstein's Quotes #280550
#10. I was struck by - Einstein's a fascinating figure who didn't have any instruments that he used, he didn't use telescopes, he used his mind to try to understand the universe.

Jonathan Nolan

Einstein's Quotes #290591
#11. Einstein's theory of General Relativity has a mathematical structure very similar to Yang-Mills theory.

Chen-Ning Yang

Einstein's Quotes #307548
#12. The objective and merit of Einstein's theory is to identify those physical magnitudes which are absolute, i.e. common for all Inertial Frames, distinguishing them from those which are a mere perspective, only shared by those observers in repose within a given Inertial Frame.

Felix Alba-Juez

Einstein's Quotes #317994
#13. The melded nature of space and time is intimately woven with properties of light speed. The inviolable nature of the speed of light is actually, in Einstein's hands, talking about the inviolable nature of cause and effect.

Brian Greene

Einstein's Quotes #362272
#14. Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Stephen Hawking

Einstein's Quotes #415029
#15. I had a difficult time getting my arms around Einstein's work, even when I was a physics major at one of the top universities in India.

Srikumar Rao

Einstein's Quotes #419866
#16. When I was doing Professor Albert Einstein's bust he had many a jibe at the Nazi professors, one hundred of whom had condemned his theory of relativity in a book. 'Were I wrong,' he said, 'one professor would have been enough.

Jacob Epstein

Einstein's Quotes #460135
#17. Even now, when I imagine Einstein's dendrites and neurons firing as his brain lit upon relativity, I picture Baghdad, with its minarets and modern-antennaed buildings sparkling beneath thousands of phantasmagorical tracers, under Allied attack on a very dark night.

Michael Paterniti

Einstein's Quotes #474408
#18. In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't change when you bend it or stretch it as long as you don't break anything.

Edward Witten

Einstein's Quotes #493658
#19. 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.

Martin Amis

Einstein's Quotes #504147
#20. On the other side, Church spokesmen could scarcely become enthusiastic about Planck's deism, which omitted all reference to established religions and had no more doctrinal content than Einstein's Judaism.

J.L. Heilbron

Einstein's Quotes #548074
#21. All modern work on unification may be said to represent a program of geometrization that resembles Einstein's earlier attempts, although the manifold subject to geometrization is larger than he anticipated and the quantum framework of the program would not have been to his liking.

Abraham Pais

Einstein's Quotes #605428
#22. Einstein's was a beautiful mix of confidence and awe.

Walter Isaacson

Einstein's Quotes #624527
#23. Freud is finished, Einstein's next.

Don DeLillo

Einstein's Quotes #639329
#24. In Einstein's equation, time is a river. It speeds up, meanders, and slows down. The new wrinkle is that it can have whirlpools and fork into two rivers. So, if the river of time can be bent into a pretzel, create whirlpools and fork into two rivers, then time travel cannot be ruled out.

Michio Kaku

Einstein's Quotes #658393
#25. Was Einstein's theory good? Relatively.

Bo Burnham

Einstein's Quotes #672233
#26. Einstein's 1905 paper came out and suddenly changed people's thinking about space-time. We're again in the middle of something like that. When the dust settles, time - whatever it may be - could turn out to be even stranger and more illusory than even Einstein could imagine.

Carlo Rovelli

Einstein's Quotes #672818
#27. Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge.

Imre Lakatos

Einstein's Quotes #694872
#28. Therein lies the key, I think, to Einstein's brilliance and the lessons of his life. As a young student he never did well with rote learning. And later, as a theorist, his success came not from the brute strength of his mental processing power but from his imagination and creativity.

Walter Isaacson

Einstein's Quotes #695017
#29. I am proof that Einstein's "e equals m c squared" is wrong. My mass has increased, but my energy has dropped.

Dennis Miller

Einstein's Quotes #732384
#30. Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.

Will Rogers

Einstein's Quotes #736287
#31. Albert Einstein's equation, E=MC2, is considered to be a theory. Despite being one, we have been able to use it to produce the energy we need to power our cities, as well as the bombs to destroy the same.

Stephen Richards

Einstein's Quotes #773024
#32. But the beauty of Einstein's equations, for example, is just as real to anyone who's experienced it as the beauty of music. We've learned in the 20th century that the equations that work have inner harmony.

Edward Witten

Einstein's Quotes #790224
#33. Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea.

Richard P. Feynman

Einstein's Quotes #799658
#34. There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein's classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change.

Edward Witten

Einstein's Quotes #817983
#35. Finance people should remember Albert Einstein's wise words: "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.

Bjarte Bogsnes

Einstein's Quotes #822702
#36. God plays dice with the universe," is Ford's answer to Einstein's famous question. "But they're loaded dice. And the main objective of physics now is to find out by what rules were they loaded and how can we use them for our own ends.

James Gleick

Einstein's Quotes #836397
#37. I checked my phone again one more time before crawling into bed, fully aware that Einstein's definition of insanity was repeating the same action over and expecting different results.

Jessica Verdi

Einstein's Quotes #854642
#38. When you drive your car, E = mc2 is at work. As the engine burns gasoline to produce energy in the form of motion, it does so by converting some of the gasoline's mass into energy, in accord with Einstein's formula.

Brian Greene

Einstein's Quotes #855353
#39. An event is a stretch of time, and time, according to physicists, is a continuous variable-an inexorable cosmic flow, in Newton's world, or a fourth dimension in a seamless hyperspace, in Einstein's. But the human mind carves this fabric into the discrete swatches we call events.

Steven Pinker

Einstein's Quotes #879258
#40. C. S. Lewis, Plato, Aristotle and many more names that I could add, including Einstein's, were individuals who were able to see the innate order in life, which others perceive as chaos.

Frederick Lenz

Einstein's Quotes #884774
#41. During this time I had the singular good fortune of being able to discuss the problem constantly with Einstein. Some experiments done at Einstein's suggestion yielded no decisively new result.

Walther Bothe

Einstein's Quotes #911545
#42. I remind myself of Einstein's remark that common sense is nothing but a collection of misconceptions acquired by age 18 ...

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Einstein's Quotes #919815
#43. My IQ is somewhere between Spiro Agnew's and Albert Einstein's.

Dick Cavett

Einstein's Quotes #975712
#44. While Einstein's theory of relativity may one day put Earth on the intergalactic map, it will always run a distant second to the Lord's Prayer, whose harnessing of energies in their proper, life-giving direction surpasses even the discovery of fire.[2]

Brian Zahnd

Einstein's Quotes #986223
#45. Sequel to Albert Einstein's quote "education is what remains after you have forgotten what you learned in school," beauty is what remains inside a body after it has wrinkled.

Olaotan Fawehinmi

Einstein's Quotes #989306
#46. Many of us have no grasp of quantum theory, or Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, but this does not in itself lead us to oppose these theories! Darwinism, unlike 'Einsteinism', seems to be regarded as fair game for critics with any degree of ignorance.

Richard Dawkins

Einstein's Quotes #995665
#47. As the story goes, Albert Einstein's wife Elsa remarked, upon hearing that a telescope at the Mount Wilson Observatory was needed to determine the shape of space-time: Oh, my husband does this on the back of an old envelope.

Edward Frenkel

Einstein's Quotes #1001983
#48. Even geniuses could get things wrong-look at Einstein's unfortunate choice of a hairdresser.

Joss Stirling

Einstein's Quotes #1014933
#49. Warping begets warping in a nonlinear, self-bootstrapping manner. This is a fundamental feature of Einstein's relativistic laws, and so different from everyday experience. It's somewhat like a hypothetical science-fiction character who goes backward in time and gives birth to herself.

Kip S. Thorne

Einstein's Quotes #1044431
#50. The 4D style, or cosmic comics and relativistic humor, is based on Einstein's theory of relativity which I came up with 20 years ago. 4D works use the idea of the fourth dimension, time, playing on such surrealistic and amazing subjects as motion relativity, space curvature and time dilation.

Javad Alizadeh

Einstein's Quotes #1050466
#51. Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.

Antony Garrett Lisi

Einstein's Quotes #1058246
#52. singularities, he asserted, "are a place in which the fiery marriage of Einstein's relativistic laws with the quantum laws is consummated.

Kip S. Thorne

Einstein's Quotes #1089008
#53. Early-twentieth-century abstraction is art's version of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It's the idea that changed everything everywhere: quickly, decisively, for good.

Jerry Saltz

Einstein's Quotes #1097082
#54. I share Einstein's affirmation that anyone who is not lost in rapturous awe at the power and glory of the mind behind the universe "is as good as a burnt out candle."

Madeleine L'Engle

Einstein's Quotes #1175106
#55. In reference to Einstein's definition of insanity...
No Mr. Einstein, that is not insanity, that is autism.

Eileen Miller

Einstein's Quotes #1318682
#56. There is no doubt that Einstein's pipe was his closest associate, while others--including wife and family--were never permitted the illusion that they would ever be at the center of his life.

Palle Yourgrau

Einstein's Quotes #1332811
#57. Einstein's E=mc2 is an extraordinary concept. So radical: matter and energy are two phases of the same sort of general stuff. There's only one other idea that radical: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

Kurt Vonnegut

Einstein's Quotes #1399943
#58. Einstein was once asked how many feet are in a mile. Einstein's reply was I don't know, why should I fill my brain with facts I can find in two minutes in any standard reference book?

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #1420979
#59. 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.

B.K.S. Iyengar

Einstein's Quotes #1435881
#60. Every great artist raises art to a science, and every great scientist raises science to an art, hence we have Michelangelo's David and Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

Robert Breault

Einstein's Quotes #1491496
#61. Of all heroes , Spinoza was Einstein 's greatest. No one expressed more strongly then he a belief in the harmony , the beauty , and most of all the ultimate comprehensibility of nature .

John Archibald Wheeler

Einstein's Quotes #1513504
#62. There were many at Bell Labs and MIT who compared Shannon's insight to Einstein's. Others found that comparison unfair - unfair to Shannon.

William Poundstone

Einstein's Quotes #1531665
#63. For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein's general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.

Stephen Hawking

Einstein's Quotes #1584858
#64. I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Stephen Jay Gould

Einstein's Quotes #1595520
#65. It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's day hadn't made enough progress in understanding the forces of nature for that to be a realistic goal.

Stephen Hawking

Einstein's Quotes #1675538
#66. The difficulty involved in the proper and adequate means of describing changes in continuous deformable bodies is the method of differential equations ... They express mathematically the physical concept of contiguous action.
Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Max Born

Einstein's Quotes #1769588
#67. Science is global. Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Einstein's Quotes #1772509
#68. Einstein's claim that change is an illusion. Things do not become, they have not been, and they will not be: They simply are.

A.A. Attanasio

Einstein's Quotes #1786088
#69. Some scientist needs to explain to spectators Einstein's relativity theory. Before his explanation, he says: 'I have to suffer a lot explaining something I don't understand myself.' This relates to my game: I didn't understand anything!

Vassily Ivanchuk

Einstein's Quotes #1806768
#70. It is difficult to play against Einstein's theory -on his first loss to Fischer

Mikhail Tal

Einstein's Quotes #1811155
#71. But my favorite of Einstein's words on religion is "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." I like this because both science and religion are needed to answer life's great questions.

Temple Grandin

Einstein's Quotes #1824885
#72. My sense of religion is Einstein's sense of relativity. I don't believe in God. I believe that energy never dies. So the possibility exists that you might be breathing in some other form of Moses or Buddha or Muhammad or Bobby Kennedy or Roosevelt or Martin Luther King or Jesus.

Mandy Patinkin

Einstein's Quotes #1839526
#73. Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for small things.

Brian Greene

Einstein's Quotes #1864475
#74. I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.

Einstein's Quotes #1870174
#75. Racism is America's greatest disease, racism is a disease of the white man.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #1436
#76. Time is relative, Einstein tells us. It's an artificial construct that we have created to remind us that we are finite, mortal. The universe doesn't wear a wristwatch. And thankfully, I decided to stop wearing one the day I found out I had terminal cancer." --My Own Personal Singularity

Glen Robinson

Einstein's Quotes #6006
#77. Albert Einstein once said, Sit with a beautiful woman for an hour and it seems like a minute, sit on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour - that's relativity.

Richard Wiseman

Einstein's Quotes #10302
#78. And with all of the enemy's citizens living at the bottom of huge gravity wells, we don't even have to aim particularly well. Einstein was right. We will be fighting the next war with rocks. But the Belt has rocks that will turn the surface of Mars into a molten sea.

James S.A. Corey

Einstein's Quotes #10395
#79. The time comes in life when we have read enough. It's time to stop reading. It's time to lay down the books and write.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #16058
#80. I don't care what Einstein said about God not playing dice; If he exists, he's addicted to craps.

Henry Mosquera

Einstein's Quotes #16875
#81. I think it's misleading to use a word like 'God' in the way Einstein did. I'm sorry that Einstein did. I think he was asking for trouble, and he certainly was misunderstood.

Richard Dawkins

Einstein's Quotes #27122
#82. If you can't explain what you are doing to a nine-year-old, then either you still don't understand it very well, or it's not all that worthwile in the first place.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #63960
#83. Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. Now string theory comes along and says, yes, gravity, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism - all together in one package, but only if the universe has more dimensions than the ones that we see.

Brian Greene

Einstein's Quotes #66559
#84. Spinoza had argued that God, synonymous with nature, was immutable and eternal, leaving no room for chance. Agreeing with Spinoza, Einstein sought the invariant rules governing nature's mechanisms. He was absolutely determined to prove that the world was absolutely determined.

Paul Halpern

Einstein's Quotes #105578
#85. Truly novel inventions emerge only in one's youth. Later one becomes ever more experienced, famous-and foolish.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #111318
#86. There will come a point in everyone's life , however, where only intuition can make the leap ahead, without ever knowing precisely how. One can never know why but one must accept intuition as a fact.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #115899
#87. I believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #116305
#88. Here's a Challenge: Study a complicated topic in such detail that anyone interested can nod their head and understand as you explain specific concepts within the topic.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #122256
#89. At the end of the day, teachers aren't going to mess about trying to make me into an Einstein, 'cause it was never gonna happen. We can't all be brainy, can we? That's just the way the world is.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #146299
#95. All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #153110
#96. And you get that little endorphin buzz, it's great. Why do you think Einstein looked like that? I don't think he was going 'You know this is some dynamite weed! It's all relative you know'.

Robin Williams

Einstein's Quotes #159449
#97. When the poet Paul Valery once asked Albert Einstein if he kept a notebook to record his ideas, Einstein looked at him with mild but genuine surprise. "Oh, that's not necessary," he replied . "It's so seldom I have one.

Bill Bryson

Einstein's Quotes #161482
#98. Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.

Darryl Anka

Einstein's Quotes #162365
#99. There's something to be said for relatives ... it has to be said because it's unprintable!

Albert Einstein

Einstein's Quotes #165575
#100. To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a snappy sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word - is that not glorious? Is it not a proper subject for congregation?
