became the basis of new cosmologies. Einstein was awarded the Nobel prize for Physics in 1921. Although a committed pacifist Einstein began to warn against the dangers of fascism as the Nazis denounced his work as Jewish science. In 1933 he left Germany and took up residence at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, New Jersey, where he pursued his research toward unifying the laws of physics. Einstein's last years were spent searching for a unified field theory, for a universal force that would link gravitation with electromagnetic and subatomic forces, a problem on which no one to date has been entirely successful. Einstein was filled with reverence for the works of nature, and he noted that "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible." He thought of himself more as philosopher than as scientist, and in many ways he was from the same mold as the Greek natural philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, in trying to understand the natural world through mental concepts instead of experimentation. His success did draw on the insights of predecessors and the powerful analytical tools of mathematics, but most of all it was the result of an unerring cosmic intuition, the likes of which have been equaled by very few.
"So long as they don't get violent, I want to let everyone say what they wish, for I myself have always said exactly what pleased me." -- Albert Einstein "Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty." -- Albert Einstein "What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world." --Albert Einstein "If one studies too zealously, one easily loses his pants." --Albert Einstein If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor. Imagination is more important than knowledge. -- Albert Einstein Sometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing. -- Albert Einstein "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" - Albert Einstein "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen." - Albert Einstein Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied: "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." God doesn't play dice. -- Albert Einstein God may be subtle, but He isn't plain mean. -- Albert Einstei "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein If A equals success, then the formula is _ A = _ X + _ Y + _ Z. _ X is work. _ Y is play. _ Z is keep your mouth shut. -- Albert Einstein "If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith." -- Albert Einstein The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax. -- Albert Einstein
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." --Albert Einstein "If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts." --Albert Einstein "I never think of the future. It comes soon enough." --Albert Einstein "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." --Albert Einstein "Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955 "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955 "The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one." --Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
