If the universe is expanding then why have the constellations not gotten out of whack over the last 5,000 years?
I see that in just about everybody I meet.
Dr. Lew:
I agree with one of Einstein’s theories, the Theory of Relativity.
Simply put, it says that all of us have or had relatives.
Can’t find any fault in that.
PS: Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) might be the only exception to that theory.
Perhaps you didn’t know it but Einstein was caught in what I call a “KGB Sandwich”, back in those days an “NKVD Sandwich”.
his personal secretary, Helen Dukas, “was involved in Soviet underground work. p. 278
p. 279. US Army Intelligence quote re information given to the FBI.
“Einstein’s personal secretary turned the coded telegrams over to a special apparat man, whose duty it was to transmit them to Moscow by various means...”
She received coded telegrams from the Far East which were then given to a Soviet operative re the above paragraph.
“The Venona Secrets”, Exposing Soviet Espionage and America’s Traitors”, Herbert Romerstein and Eric Breindel, Regnery, 2000.
There is a lot more on Einstein and the German Communist Party and Willi Munzenberg Soviet fronts.
Later, his personal aide, I believe at Princeton, was Communist Party USA covert member Otto Nathan.
Thus Einstein, who had been sympathetic to the Soviet Union to the point of being either completely fooled or an actual sympathizer, was trapped in the NKVD Sandwich tactic. This continued to some extent into the late forties. Romerstein, pp. 278-279; 382; 397; 398-99.
And he did make/write several really stupid statements in support of Soviet socialsm and Stalin before the 1956 denunciation of Stalin’s crimes by Khruschev. I think Einstein died before they came out.
“I wonder why he thought so highly of Lenin rather than a socialist closer to home named Adolph? Oh, 1949. I guess Adolph’s socialism had died by then.”
There was also that rather nasty anti-semitic streak in National Socialism than Einstein had to flee Germany to get away from ...
... but so long as the socialist in question was an “equal-opportunity” oppressor (a la Lenin), I guess he was OK with “The Professor” ... some things don’t change ...
P.S. Its spelled “Adolf” ;>)
And they all led to Global Warming ;-)
You are saying your beer supply is a gradient singularity in space time. You should publish this in the journal of hyper dimensional physics to claim credit. Could be a first for FR.
He could never bring himself to criticize Josef Stalin, though he lived long enough for most of Stalin's crimes to be revealed. He also thought the US should give up nuclear weapons to international control.
He was, like Newton, the kind of physicist who comes along once in a few hundred years. But outside of physics he was little better than a child.
Einstein was such a pioneer. The fact that he came up with these answers without being able to check them in the back of the book is really impressive to me.
He lived in academia all his life
His political views were wrong and he's entitled to have had wrong opinions - he never pushed those political opinions on others.
I think most people are like that -- either a little knowledge about many things or very deep knowledge about one and litte about others
I think I have a lot of knowledge about history but very little knowledge about nature - we all have gaps in our knowledge
I don't think it is fair to judge Einstein on his political knowledge errors - he never called himself a political expert nor did he foist his political opinions on others.
If he places dice, he has also occasionally played with loaded dice, as when God in matter flesh came and died for our sins.(God’s thumbprint pressed into matter. The house always wins!
What an idiot.

Actually, the stars that make up the constellations have shifted, but they're too far away to notice much in just a few millennia.
Probably because Einstein was Jewish. It was a good thing for us that he was Jewish, too -- he might have made a significant contribution to Uncle Adolf's A-bomb program otherwise.
his hair didn’t make the top three?
inconceivable.
Hawking’s and other scientists’ pronouncements on black holes reminds me of a picture I saw of the Large Hadrian Collider. Amongst all the incredibly mysterious machinery was a bicycle. It is like me explaining the Collider from the standpoint of my knowledge of the bicycle.
Reads like something a high school student would believe.
No one who has ever really witnessed management in a large organization could ever believe central planning would work.
However, it must be noted that just because you worked in a large organization it does not follow that you automatically witnessed any management.
I don’t know what made Einstein so special - my second semester Physics book has all that information. All he had to do was read it.
Because 5,000 years is a drop in the bucket to these folks.
