Albert Einstein...

He was a damn good basketball player before that knee injury forced him into physics.

Albert Einstein... Is there anything more to say about him?

I want to know God's thoughts...the rest are details.

And, is the universe better or worse for that injury?
 
A stitch in time would have confused Einstein.

Orginally said by Gregory Benford
in Timescape:


There was a blithe certainty that came from first comprehending the full Einstein field equations, arabesques of Greek letters clinging tenuously to the page, a gossamer web. They seemed insubstantial when you first saw them, a string of squiggles. Yet to follow the delicate tensors as they contracted, as the superscripts paired with subscripts, collapsing mathematically into concrete classical entities-- potential; mass; forces vectoring in a curved geometry-- that was a sublime experience. The iron fist of the real, inside the velvet glove of airy mathematics.
 
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
--Albert Einstein

"hazy?" This quote must be wrong.
