Signed while vacationing in Cutchogue on the North Fork of Long Island, the letter shortened WWII by creating the Manhattan Project — which culminated in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Einstein regretted this the rest of his life.

In 1916, shortly after publishing his theory of general relativity, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves – warps in space time caused by accelerating matter that ripple outward at the speed of light.

The other day I watched a video about how the universe is going to end. The universe is about fourteen billion years old. It’s still in its infancy.

A spring inside long tube is attached to a small weight hanging over the lip of the funnel. When the tube is allowed to fall freely, gravity vanishes in the falling reference frame—and the spring pulls the weight over the funnel’s lip into the funnel.

VIDEO – A one-hour talk with slides, delivered to a live audience by Dr. Stephen Rosen in Cutchogue, L.I. … where Einstein signed the famous history-changing letter to FDR.

Though I knew Einstein for two or three decades, it was only in the last decade of his life that we were close colleagues and something of friends.

To the Editors:

The beautifully phrased and delicate venom of Dr. Oppenheimer’s “tribute” to Professor Einstein [Mar. 1] distressed me deeply. I must admit, however, that I am partial to Professor Einstein. His intervention on my behalf in 1940 resulted in my coming to this country and probably saved my life.

Calculations are presented of the production of secondary antiprotons due to inelastic collisions of high-energy primary cosmic rays with interstellar gas nuclei.

VIDEO – Albert Einstein was incredibly brilliant and revolutionized our understanding of the universe.

“If you can’t explain it to a six-year-old, you don’t understand it yourself.”
2. The power of imagination:
“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere.”
3. Living:
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

In hindsight, the Beatles were as Nobel worthy as Bob Dylan or Albert Einstein.

They’re always quoted. Their words mutate, not into gold, like a surreal version of the Midas touch, but into printer’s ink. They inspire intense admiration. They stand on tall pedestals. They display outrageous behavior. Boldness. Notoriety. Irreverence. Blasphemy. Albert Einstein, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan inhabit public universes linked by Google.

Early in Einstein’s career, the press attention he garnered was an outgrowth of a true breakthrough: the eclipse observations of 1919 that helped confirm his general theory of relativity. The scientific community and the press agreed that Einstein’s work altered perceptions of space, time, mass, energy, and gravitation. Moreover, during a time of xenophobia, globally minded Americans gravitated to him as an outspoken foreign scientist expressing an international outlook.1 From that point on, Einstein was a celebrity, heralded for his quirky personality and passionate activism in addition to his scientific achievements.

Astronomers may have detected the most massive collision of two black holes ever discovered, a chaotic merger that occurred some 7 billion years ago, the signs of which have only just reached us. The cataclysmic event offered researchers a front-row seat to the birth of one of the Universe’s most elusive objects.

Albert Einstein’s work so revolutionized physics that it is difficult to discuss him without slipping into hagiography. Indeed, his brilliance is so storied that his surname has become synonymous with “genius,” and his brain preserved for study.

What do Albert Einstein, the Global Positioning System (GPS), and a pair of stars 200,000 trillion miles from Earth have in common?

In 1907, physicist Albert Einstein devised what we now call the “elevator” thought experiment, in which he dreamed up the idea of having an entire physics laboratory inside an ascending elevator.

China’s Planning to Launch a Space-Based Gravitational Wave Observatory in the 2030s: TianQin. Here’s how it’ll Stack up Against LISA

It’s arguably the most successful scientific theory in history, sweeping and precise and revolutionary. Yet virtually no one cares.

On November 26, 1949, Albert Einstein published an essay in the Saturday Review of Literature in which he described two pivotal moments in his childhood. The first involved a compass that his father showed him when he was four or five.

Ripples in spacetime caused by the collision of black holes were first detected in 2015. Now astrophysicists are looking for the waves created by the big bang itself
