Albert Einstein was born in Germany on March 14, 1879. He began teaching himself calculus at age 14. With a doctorate from the University of Zurich, Einstein wrote papers on electromagnetic energy, relativity, and statistical mechanics.
Einstein predicted a ray of light from a distant star would appear to bend as it passed near the sun. When an eclipse confirmed this, the London Times ran the headline, Nov. 7, 1919, Revolution in science New theory of the Universe Newtonian ideas overthrown.
In 1921, Albert Einstein won the Nobel Prize in physics.
Describing the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein said: When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and its longer than any hour. Thats relativity.

Einstein stated in an interview published in G.S. Vierecks book Glimpses of the Great, 1930: Im absolutely not an atheist.
The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesnt know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.

so, what are the 35 words?

There's a story — perhaps apocryphal — that Einstein was visiting one of the large observatories in California, and someone turned on the motor that started the huge overhead dome rotating. Einstein was alarmed, and grabbed something nearby, a support beam or equipment cabinet, and hung on for dear life.
One of the people in the party that was giving him the tour said "but it's all relative, Professor Einstein."

Relativity is doing a bit more than just sitting if that pretty girl is your cousin.

That’s more of an analogy than an explanation. There are two theories of relativity—it’s the 2nd one that made him famous, not the one he’s describing.

The assistant who boarded with Einstein told the following story:
“One morning Einstein saw me shaving with soap and hot water. He always shaved with only water. I convinced him to use soap one morning. Einstein got this look on his face at the marvel of soap. He said that that was the smoothest shave he had ever had. The next morning he went back to only water to shave.”
That is an indication of some kind of mental issue. Maybe Asperber’s Syndrome. I do not know. That is simply a guess.

said "There is nothing wrong with looking at a pretty girl" on more than one Cubs broadcast.

Relativity, in 29 words:
The theory that states the astonishing amount of “close relatives” one suddenly discovers upon winning a lottery jackpot is directly proportional to the amount of money in the jackpot.

Einstein walked into bar and the bartender said 'will you have a beer?' and Einstein said 'I think not' and vanished.
Oh wait, no, that was Descartes.

Sorry for the thread hijack. It's all physics.

I don’t think those were Einstein’s words.
He said if the pretty girl sits on your lap for an hour .....
Someone tried to make his words politically correct.
To: amorphous
Einstein failed to adjust his theory to include the variable used in his example.
I.e. the frequency of consciousness and its influence upon perception of reality and time.
Time is not a function of the speed of light. It is s function of the frequency of consciousness divided by the speed of light.
