Please make a video about John von Neumann. He was one of the smartest scientists of the 20th century in terms of raw intelligence. He was a polymath with a photographic memory who, at six years old, could divide two eight-digit numbers in his head and converse in Ancient Greek.
Geniuses of his era called him a genius. For example, George Dantzig, who accidentally solved two famous unsolved problems in statistics because he was late to class and thought they were homework. The story of von Neumann's genius goes like this: When George Dantzig brought von Neumann an unsolved problem in linear programming "as I would to an ordinary mortal", on which there had been no published literature, he was astonished when von Neumann said "Oh, that!", before offhandedly giving a lecture of over an hour, explaining how to solve the problem using the hitherto unconceived theory of duality.
Bram Stoker's Dracula, the iconic 1897 tale of a vampire from Transylvania, is often thought to be inspired by a formidable 15th-century governor from present-day Romania named Vlad the Impaler.= VLAD TzEPES fighting Ottoman Empire.

The main reason why we can't have more einstein today is cuz people have to give up on their dream and vision if it is not making them money. Money is important and if you just spend time thinking about physics problem and trying to solve it then chances are you will have difficult time in surviving in this world. That's what einstein faced but back then scientist where considered celebrity unlike today, so einstein was able to get money since his ideas were revolutionary that made him celebrity.
Robert Lawrence Kuhn probably also could not find a job, so he "parlayed" his talent for interviewing other scientists to try to find "God." He made a great RUclips career. I have great admiration for him. Talk about "making your own luck." It is extremely unwise to share any conservative opinions with potential "helpers." Even if you are not an atheist, don't share your belief in God with anyone. That may be enough to get you removed from the running. Scientists who believe in God usually put off any discussion of that until they are tenured. Remember, there is enormous anti-God bias in science. There may be problems if you are Jewish or have a Jewish sounding name. You should consider changing it. In order to get a university job, you usually have to kiss some *ss.

Marcel Grossmann, who is mentioned here as having helped Einstein get his patent-clerk job, was an advanced mathematician who later helped Einstein formulate his theory of general relativity.

Little known fact. After he published the Special Relativity papers, he applied for a job in the Balkans in the Kingdom of Serbia as a university professor in Belgrade. But he was rejected because of the language barrier and not speaking Serbian.
Can't find any reference of it, also doesn't sound too credible given Serbia close ties to Germany at the time and Germany's general prestige in physics I doubt it would be much different than teaching physics in English nowadays!
It is a question for the collective West because it is about ignoring. Fortunately, Einstein's archives are still mostly located in the East, in Israel. In his early stage he was on good terms with the Serbian community through his first wife. You probably never heard that he got the idea for Str during a visit to Serbia and the Balkans. You should keep in mind that the United States met him for the first time only after his emigration and when he gained media attention from the national media there. The relations between Serbia and Germany at the beginning of the 20th century were better than the relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.
@@petarswift5089 yeah that's why I question your assertion that the language barrier was the reason he didn't teach in Serbia, which you didn't address weirdly!
This is probably the best description of success. "He did his most important work and nobody cared at all" It isn't till later when the implications of the success show up does the impact of the stone hitting the water send out the waves...
The way he treated his wife was wrong. She was there for him when nobody else was, spent her time fixing his mathematics (which allowed him to get published) and had two kids and he dumped her for his *cousin*? 😢 That's f*cked up.
Mileva did not pass when attempting to get her degree. She was more of a "book smart", knowledge not imagination type of person. Einstein probably let her look at his work as he was excited about it and wanted to share it with his wife. Also, it gave her a chance to be a part of the physics exploration that she wanted, but failed to achieve. Mileva slowly became more and more insufferable, eventually demanding all his attention because she was not cultivating her own interests only feeding off of Einsteins. This forced Albert to establish healthy boundaries in order to continue maintaining his sanity while working to provide financially for the family while trying to make advances in physics. As Mileva only grew worse, Einstein regretfully left his boys where he wept at the train station when saying good bye. Einstein left his family with ALL of the Nobel prize money which Mileva bought a couple buildings she rented out to thrive financially. Einstein liked Elsa because she was the opposite of Mileva. Not needy and winey, but supportive and loving. They did not plan on having kids, so the cousin thing was not an issue genetically. So maybe it was Mileva who treated Einstein wrong...
@@ZiptiesAndButterflies >healthy< boundaries such as "...My clothes and laundry are to be kept in good order. I receive 3 meals a day in my room. My bedroom and study are to be kept clean, and my desk is left for my own use only..."
I Don't know why I am obsessed with Einstein but I loved him so much since I first heard about him He will always be in my mind for making me love physics.....
I believe there is somewhat an error in the "Einstein's Nine-Year Struggle to Find a Job" video. In 1905 Einstein published four, not five papers. The video says that there were two concerning molecules. (Wikipedia agrees with the "four" papers.) There was one paper covering molecules/atoms/Brownian motion and his doctoral thesis, which isn't always considered "a paper" and also had a significant error. It was also his second attempt, his first being in 1901, so it wasn't necessarily novel. His 1905 doctoral thesis is usually not included because there was an error in his calculations that was later corrected after experimentation showed that his value was likely incorrect. Years later a student provided a fix. It was also likely a revision and extension of his 1901 work. Einstein had another doctoral thesis in 1901 which was rejected/withdrawn, also concerning the kinetic theory of gasses, but that paper is lost to history.
One thing I recall reading in Einstein's English version of "Relativity: the Special and General Theory" was a comment he made about children. He recalled that every school child (German) knew the speed of light. When I read that I thought the education system he grew up with was different than mine. I don't recall ever learning about the speed of light in elementary school and not until much later. If I heard it, I don't recall hearing it and it would only have been mentioned in passing. Whatever shortcomings Einstein attributed to German education, they were able to make some significant contributions to scientific thought and technological development and still do today. That isn't to say I didn't like my American education, I would like to have had both.
I was born in 1970 and my father told me about E=mc2 when I was only 7. I was fascinated by this and then looked up the speed of light in an encyclopedia. Then of course facts like light taking roughly 11 minutes to travel from the sun to earth ect. learning things like this early can really open you mind.
in Pakistan when I was growing up everyone in my family knew.. it was kind of a fact that you know about the world... like everyone knew who Michael Jackson was. I think it was more a cultural thing than a reflection on the education system. Because I don't think that my Gen Z cousins know. It is kinda universally fashionable to say "I hate maths" these days
Don’t dismiss Mileva Maric’s contribution to Einstein’s work so easily. She did much more than type up his papers! The very fact she was the only woman classmate showed the extent to which she was valued in her own right. After marriage they had at least two more children but she suffered from severe post partum depression. I disagree that Mileva was ugly. After Einstein grew tired of her illness he left and married his first cousin. I would never call his cousin ugly, but her picture is readily available.
Yeah, Einstein's cousin-wife was actually quite an ugly hag compared to Mileva Maric. He should have stayed loyal to Mileva. Probably would have come up with a grand unified theory then. Also shouldn't have told the US of A to build a nuke. I'm gonna build a time machine and tell him about it.
Same here... Years without getting things done as dreamt! Reminding me that Einstein himself had to struggle that hard And in an almost humilliating way Made me Feel Refreshing Energy! Thank You, Thank You Very Much!
The elevator animation is wrong. It shows the elevator moving with constant speed after a brief initial acceleration-that is, a real-life elevator. Whereas Einstein-clearly not an engineer-imagined elevators that were constantly accelerating, whether moving upward or downward. He wouldn't have discovered General Relativity in a real-life elevator.
@@two_tier_gary_rumain Real-life elevators don't, naturally. There's air, and eventually, the ground itself. An ideal elevator for Einstein would be a nightmare in the real world. 🤣
@@VeganSemihCyprus33 Ah the internet.Where people can puff themselves up by calling a genius a fruad.And then present a sophomoric,useless and pathetic video to prove their lack of intellect.
More probably, he was missing Mileva's mathematics skills, as Einstein was not so good at math. Mathematics require rote memorization of a number of very specific rules, not Einstein's best skill. He could, however, envision unique concepts which to others might seem foreign or even strange, with ease. He was very talented at thinking outside of the customary box.

Think "Chauncey Gardner" from the movie "Being There." He was doing the bidding of the controllers. They needed more BS to convince the people of the universe and such. They made him into a genius. He was a nothing.
Though current history has been more than kind to Einstein future history will not be so naive nor forgiving. Herr Einstein fell just short of buffoonery and surpassed pure simpleton. Yet somehow someway the ugly duck became a swan but we must always remember that history is written by the Lords of WAR.
Romantics aside, by all accounts, Einstein was a stubborn, hard to work with and incredibly small minded person (incest tendencies included). His sole success was a theory that some other people also worked on and good part of base math work for that was done by his wife Mileva Maric.
Yes, people change throughout their life. Who you are at 22 isn’t the same as who you are in 40. People discover new things about themselves through the passing of the years, and yes, sadly sometimes that also includes, finding out that you are not that compatible with your partner. He was selfish of course, there’s no denying it that. Whether he felt guilt, or proud of his decisions is another story. He’ll never know what he felt inside.
Only average and below average minds who are too nosey with others' private life. Dramatic people love soapy drama, they can't think something else more significant, only the base-shallow things like sex, violence and stuff. Animals instinct kicks-in and produce such Freudian slip💀🙈🐒
He was on Family Guy, he stole " Johnsons theory of relativity from Mr. Johnson when he brought it into the patent office. He also stole the Shrinky Dink formula from God. funniest stuff I ever saw
Physicists in his time (and still now) weren’t interested in how the universe worked, they were primarily interested in WHO is saying this is correct. Without Max Planck vouching for Einstein, Einstein would not have ever got a decent job or be known.
Great job! A little addition: Einstein dropped his baby daughter at the steps of a church. That is known. Mileva dropped out of school (she studied Physics) and stayed home, and so while he was afraid of the wrath of his parents, Einstein left her and later married his cousin (who was a semi-celebrity, hence approved by the parents).
Being able to teach and pass an exam are two different things. Exams are not the ultimate judge of a person's intelligence. Knowing is one thing, doing with what one knows is perfect. Not a group of questions and answers design by some groups.
@@easzyprogramming Moreover, a lot of testing doesn't even represent knowledge. It all boils down to studying, how hard and persistently you do it. It does not reenforce this knowledge, it only reinforces your ability to study and express it for an exam or two over many years. Critical thought, and self-teaching of it, is how intelligence can best be improved and measured, and yet it's a concerningly absent subject in academia.

Wonderful video, wonderful informations. I've learned a lot about him here. Just a little correction tho: 19:04 the other ball assumes "opposite colour" and not the same
I've heard of several different explanations of Einstein's Theory of Relativity since a very long time now without ever understanding it at all. Today, I heard you make a key comment in your explanation of the Einstein's free fall and accelerating upward elevator scenario that both gravity and acceleration are one and the same thing. Though I've known this concept for a long time now ever since having studied about it in high school, the fact that this leads to the explanation of Einstein's theory of Relativity is a revelation for me in its own. Now all that remains is to learn the math used for describing acceleration in curved geometric spaces and then I should be able to understand the theory that has evaded my comprehension for 25 years already now. Thank you very much for providing this insight.
I recommend Prof. Frederic Schuller's lecture series for the Heraeus Winter school on gravity and light. It's here on RUclips. Best, most understandable introduction to GR that I've seen. The professor won some award for his teaching skill.
One lengthy paper I read about him detailed how he and the people around him successfully use publicity and what you might call a bit of ShowBusiness to make him so famous compared to other more important physicists. His mathematics was rather poor and he could not get a job on the Manhattan project. But he had made himself very famous so when teller and Szilard put together the letter to Roosevelt about nuclear energy they got Einstein to sign it because of his name. His family still promotes all of this quite jealously.
Did these other mathematicians come up with such ground breaking theories? No and that's why they are forgotten. Many are good at math, few can come up with such revolutionary ideas.
Clueless and harsh comment. Being a pacifist, Einstein did not apply for any job on the Manhattan project. Neither did Lise Meitner, an Austrian physicist who worked out the theoretical physics of nuclear fission, and many more. Einstein did not made himself famous by signing that letter (it was classified), but by working out the weirdest theory in the history of the world, general relativity. It was Einstein and Marcel Grossmann who developed the proper mathematics for general relativity based on the earlier work of Riemann. So much about his mathematics being poor. Why do people comment without any clue?
Actually, the Copenhagen interpretation of QM states that the apparent randomness observed may or may not be ontological and could instead be merely epistemic. So Einstein's objection is actually compatible with this interpretation.
Einstein’s family was relatively well-off, which provided him with financial support during his early years. This support allowed him to focus on his studies and research without the immediate pressure to earn a living, a luxury not afforded to many.
Well, the Einstein-Szilard letter from August 1939 didn't cause much action in the US. The immediate consequences were a relatively small research program. In fact, it was the Frisch-Peierls memorandum from March 1940 (which in historical review already contained the schematic of a blueprint for the gun-type design of the atomic bomb) which led to the activity of the MAUD committee and the Tube Alloys project in the UK later on, way before the start of the Manhattan project. And it was Mark Oliphant (a guy from Australia, who was a member of the MAUD committee and who then primarily worked on the new RADAR technology, and who finally got lucky to have Rudolf Peierls sitting nearby in the same building (who could solve one or two difficult problems for Oliphant - despite the fact that Peierls and Frisch didn't posses security clearance at that time ;-)) visiting the US in August 1941 who reminded the scientific community in the US about the existence of the MAUD committee report. That report had been sent to the US before, but Lyman Briggs (director of the US Uranium Committee) had put that report into his safe. And had not shown it to any member of his own committee. There was meeting then on 26th of August 194 with Mark Oliphant and the Uranium Committee to discuss the issue. Finally, Oliphant met with his friend Ernest Lawrence on September 23th in Berkeley, where Lawrence did receive a copy of the Frisch-Peierls memorandum. And Lawrence then informed Robert Oppenheimer to check the figures. But this it not the end of the story. Mark Oliphant convinced Ernest Lawrence to convert his 37-inch cyclotron into a giant mass spectrometer for electromagnetic isotope separation. So, in the end, it was some guy from Australia and not the the (first) Einstein-Szilard letter who caused the action. IMHO, that famous Einstein-Szilard letter gets a little bit too much attention. Probably because of the name of Albert Einstein in it. ;-)
14:55 1) Force (elevator etc) causes acceleration. 2) Gravity causes acceleration. 3) Acceleration = acceleration. Therefore Force and Gravity are equivalent. So far so good. 4) Therefore Gravity is NOT a Force.... what?? You just proved the opposite!
Congrats Mr. Genius. You just did it. You disproved a century of physics in 4 bullet points. You're the first person to ever come up with this idea, and you will receive your Nobel Prize tomorrow. Your great new insights can be used to derive so much more information about the world around us than General Relativity ever could. I will call your theory The Theory Of 4 Sentence Fragments
@@nomad7734 Maybe not all but in some extent sure. That's why his first papers on relativity were signed with "Einstein/ Marić" and he always spoke about "out work".
Here is what Nikola Tesla thought of Einstein and "his " theory o relativity ( it was stolen from Olinto de Pretto who published it in Italian science magazine 3 years earlier)....."Since action and reaction are coexistent, it follows that the supposed curvature of space(Einstein’)s is entirely impossible ..Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality. The scientists from Franklin to Morse were clear thinkers and did not produce erroneous theories. The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane." At times, Tesla's criticism of Einstein was even personal in nature, suggesting that Einstein was not merely mistaken, but actually a fraud: "Einstein is a beggar dressed in purple clothes and made king using dazzling mathematics that obscure truth"... "Relativity is a massive deception wrapped in a beautiful mathematical cloak.” "The theory of relativity is a mass of error and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even to common sense." "The theory, wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king. Its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved." "Relativity is a beggar wrapped in purple whom ignorant people take for a King."

Little known fact. After he published the Special Relativity papers, he applied for a job in the Balkans in the Kingdom of Serbia as a university professor in Belgrade. But he was rejected because of the language barrier and not speaking Serbian.
Lucky Einstein
@@FPSIreland2such an unnecessary comment
Can't find any reference of it, also doesn't sound too credible given Serbia close ties to Germany at the time and Germany's general prestige in physics I doubt it would be much different than teaching physics in English nowadays!
It is a question for the collective West because it is about ignoring. Fortunately, Einstein's archives are still mostly located in the East, in Israel. In his early stage he was on good terms with the Serbian community through his first wife. You probably never heard that he got the idea for Str during a visit to Serbia and the Balkans. You should keep in mind that the United States met him for the first time only after his emigration and when he gained media attention from the national media there. The relations between Serbia and Germany at the beginning of the 20th century were better than the relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.
@@petarswift5089 yeah that's why I question your assertion that the language barrier was the reason he didn't teach in Serbia, which you didn't address weirdly!

The way he treated his wife was wrong. She was there for him when nobody else was, spent her time fixing his mathematics (which allowed him to get published) and had two kids and he dumped her for his *cousin*? 😢
That's f*cked up.
Yeah, I was looking for this comment. I agree.
Mileva did not pass when attempting to get her degree. She was more of a "book smart", knowledge not imagination type of person. Einstein probably let her look at his work as he was excited about it and wanted to share it with his wife. Also, it gave her a chance to be a part of the physics exploration that she wanted, but failed to achieve. Mileva slowly became more and more insufferable, eventually demanding all his attention because she was not cultivating her own interests only feeding off of Einsteins. This forced Albert to establish healthy boundaries in order to continue maintaining his sanity while working to provide financially for the family while trying to make advances in physics. As Mileva only grew worse, Einstein regretfully left his boys where he wept at the train station when saying good bye. Einstein left his family with ALL of the Nobel prize money which Mileva bought a couple buildings she rented out to thrive financially. Einstein liked Elsa because she was the opposite of Mileva. Not needy and winey, but supportive and loving. They did not plan on having kids, so the cousin thing was not an issue genetically. So maybe it was Mileva who treated Einstein wrong...
@@ZiptiesAndButterflies Never thought 19 century also had relationship issues.

I believe there is somewhat an error in the "Einstein's Nine-Year Struggle to Find a Job" video.
In 1905 Einstein published four, not five papers. The video says that there were two concerning molecules. (Wikipedia agrees with the "four" papers.) There was one paper covering molecules/atoms/Brownian motion and his doctoral thesis, which isn't always considered "a paper" and also had a significant error. It was also his second attempt, his first being in 1901, so it wasn't necessarily novel.
His 1905 doctoral thesis is usually not included because there was an error in his calculations that was later corrected after experimentation showed that his value was likely incorrect. Years later a student provided a fix. It was also likely a revision and extension of his 1901 work.
Einstein had another doctoral thesis in 1901 which was rejected/withdrawn, also concerning the kinetic theory of gasses, but that paper is lost to history.
One thing I recall reading in Einstein's English version of "Relativity: the Special and General Theory" was a comment he made about children. He recalled that every school child (German) knew the speed of light. When I read that I thought the education system he grew up with was different than mine. I don't recall ever learning about the speed of light in elementary school and not until much later. If I heard it, I don't recall hearing it and it would only have been mentioned in passing. Whatever shortcomings Einstein attributed to German education, they were able to make some significant contributions to scientific thought and technological development and still do today. That isn't to say I didn't like my American education, I would like to have had both.
I was born in 1970 and my father told me about E=mc2 when I was only 7. I was fascinated by this and then looked up the speed of light in an encyclopedia. Then of course facts like light taking roughly 11 minutes to travel from the sun to earth ect. learning things like this early can really open you mind.
in Pakistan when I was growing up everyone in my family knew.. it was kind of a fact that you know about the world... like everyone knew who Michael Jackson was. I think it was more a cultural thing than a reflection on the education system. Because I don't think that my Gen Z cousins know. It is kinda universally fashionable to say "I hate maths" these days
Don’t dismiss Mileva Maric’s contribution to Einstein’s work so easily. She did much more than type up his papers! The very fact she was the only woman classmate showed the extent to which she was valued in her own right. After marriage they had at least two more children but she suffered from severe post partum depression. I disagree that Mileva was ugly. After Einstein grew tired of her illness he left and married his first cousin. I would never call his cousin ugly, but her picture is readily available.
Yeah, Einstein's cousin-wife was actually quite an ugly hag compared to Mileva Maric. He should have stayed loyal to Mileva. Probably would have come up with a grand unified theory then. Also shouldn't have told the US of A to build a nuke.

The elevator animation is wrong. It shows the elevator moving with constant speed after a brief initial acceleration-that is, a real-life elevator. Whereas Einstein-clearly not an engineer-imagined elevators that were constantly accelerating, whether moving upward or downward. He wouldn't have discovered General Relativity in a real-life elevator.

More probably, he was missing Mileva's mathematics skills, as Einstein was not so good at math. Mathematics require rote memorization of a number of very specific rules, not Einstein's best skill. He could, however, envision unique concepts which to others might seem foreign or even strange, with ease. He was very talented at thinking outside of the customary box.

Einstein was not brilliant as advertised. He does not come even close to Paul Dirac or John Von Neuman.

If his professor was really the one preventing him from landing a job anywhere, he must have been really petty to do that to some 22-year-old kid.
Him being jewish also didn't help. This was a bad time to be jewish.
Though current history has been more than kind to Einstein future history will not be so naive nor forgiving. Herr Einstein fell just short of buffoonery and surpassed pure simpleton. Yet somehow someway the ugly duck became a swan but we must always remember that history is written by the Lords of WAR.
Einstein is one of the reason why I learn German language
Romantics aside, by all accounts, Einstein was a stubborn, hard to work with and incredibly small minded person (incest tendencies included). His sole success was a theory that some other people also worked on and good part of base math work for that was done by his wife Mileva Maric.
Lol 😆 🤣
Thank you for posting this inspiring video.

Yes, people change throughout their life. Who you are at 22 isn’t the same as who you are in 40.
People discover new things about themselves through the passing of the years, and yes, sadly sometimes that also includes, finding out that you are not that compatible with your partner.

He was on Family Guy, he stole " Johnsons theory of relativity from Mr. Johnson when he brought it into the patent office. He also stole the Shrinky Dink formula from God. funniest stuff I ever saw
Physicists in his time (and still now) weren’t interested in how the universe worked, they were primarily interested in WHO is saying this is correct.
Without Max Planck vouching for Einstein, Einstein would not have ever got a decent job or be known.
Sorry - isn't working as a patent clerk - having a job ? ? ?
Great job! A little addition: Einstein dropped his baby daughter at the steps of a church. That is known. Mileva dropped out of school (she studied Physics) and stayed home, and so while he was afraid of the wrath of his parents, Einstein left her and later married his cousin (who was a semi-celebrity, hence approved by the parents).

@@easzyprogramming Moreover, a lot of testing doesn't even represent knowledge. It all boils down to studying, how hard and persistently you do it. It does not reenforce this knowledge, it only reinforces your ability to study and express it for an exam or two over many years. Critical thought, and self-teaching of it, is how intelligence can best be improved and measured, and yet it's a concerningly absent subject in academia.

I can't get a job for 4 months now. I guess I'm in a right track
I've heard of several different explanations of Einstein's Theory of Relativity since a very long time now without ever understanding it at all. Today, I heard you make a key comment in your explanation of the Einstein's free fall and accelerating upward elevator scenario that both gravity and acceleration are one and the same thing. Though I've known this concept for a long time now ever since having studied about it in high school, the fact that this leads to the explanation of Einstein's theory of Relativity is a revelation for me in its own. Now all that remains is to learn the math used for describing acceleration in curved geometric spaces and then I should be able to understand the theory that has evaded my comprehension for 25 years already now.
Thank you very much for providing this insight.
I recommend Prof. Frederic Schuller's lecture series for the Heraeus Winter school on gravity and light. It's here on RUclips. Best, most understandable introduction to GR that I've seen. The professor won some award for his teaching skill.
@@epajarjestys9981 the best way to learn is by reading the original papers of Einstein since they are very detailed and he was an amazing writer.
A patent office might actually be the best place for a theoretical physicist to spend his days.
One lengthy paper I read about him detailed how he and the people around him successfully use publicity and what you might call a bit of ShowBusiness to make him so famous compared to other more important physicists. His mathematics was rather poor and he could not get a job on the Manhattan project. But he had made himself very famous so when teller and Szilard put together the letter to Roosevelt about nuclear energy they got Einstein to sign it because of his name.
His family still promotes all of this quite jealously.
Yup... that is the truth
Did these other mathematicians come up with such ground breaking theories? No and that's why they are forgotten. Many are good at math, few can come up with such revolutionary ideas.
Clueless and harsh comment. Being a pacifist, Einstein did not apply for any job on the Manhattan project. Neither did Lise Meitner, an Austrian physicist who worked out the theoretical physics of nuclear fission, and many more. Einstein did not made himself famous by signing that letter (it was classified), but by working out the weirdest theory in the history of the world, general relativity. It was Einstein and Marcel Grossmann who developed the proper mathematics for general relativity based on the earlier work of Riemann. So much about his mathematics being poor. Why do people comment without any clue?
Actually, the Copenhagen interpretation of QM states that the apparent randomness observed may or may not be ontological and could instead be merely epistemic. So Einstein's objection is actually compatible with this interpretation.
You are brilliant at what you do. Top notch.
Einstein’s family was relatively well-off, which provided him with financial support during his early years. This support allowed him to focus on his studies and research without the immediate pressure to earn a living, a luxury not afforded to many.
Marrying his cousin was really a disappointing move.
Fun fact. Einstein and Elsa (2nd wife/cousin) shared more DNA than Einstein had with his great-grandmother 😀
From your perspective, sure. He may have had a special connection with her.
Well, the Einstein-Szilard letter from August 1939 didn't cause much action in the US. The immediate consequences were a relatively small research program. In fact, it was the Frisch-Peierls memorandum from March 1940 (which in historical review already contained the schematic of a blueprint for the gun-type design of the atomic bomb) which led to the activity of the MAUD committee and the Tube Alloys project in the UK later on, way before the start of the Manhattan project. And it was Mark Oliphant (a guy from Australia, who was a member of the MAUD committee and who then primarily worked on the new RADAR technology, and who finally got lucky to have Rudolf Peierls sitting nearby in the same building (who could solve one or two difficult problems for Oliphant - despite the fact that Peierls and Frisch didn't posses security clearance at that time ;-)) visiting the US in August 1941 who reminded the scientific community in the US about the existence of the MAUD committee report. That report had been sent to the US before, but Lyman Briggs (director of the US Uranium Committee) had put that report into his safe. And had not shown it to any member of his own committee. There was meeting then on 26th of August 194 with Mark Oliphant and the Uranium Committee to discuss the issue. Finally, Oliphant met with his friend Ernest Lawrence on September 23th in Berkeley, where Lawrence did receive a copy of the Frisch-Peierls memorandum. And Lawrence then informed Robert Oppenheimer to check the figures. But this it not the end of the story. Mark Oliphant convinced Ernest Lawrence to convert his 37-inch cyclotron into a giant mass spectrometer for electromagnetic isotope separation. So, in the end, it was some guy from Australia and not the the (first) Einstein-Szilard letter who caused the action. IMHO, that famous Einstein-Szilard letter gets a little bit too much attention. Probably because of the name of Albert Einstein in it. ;-)

Anyone connecting Terrence Howard, magnetism, relativity ?
Here is what Nikola Tesla thought of Einstein and "his " theory o relativity ( it was stolen from Olinto de Pretto who published it in Italian science magazine 3 years earlier)....."Since action and reaction are coexistent, it follows that the supposed curvature of space(Einstein’)s is entirely impossible ..Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality. The scientists from Franklin to Morse were clear thinkers and did not produce erroneous theories. The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane."
At times, Tesla's criticism of Einstein was even personal in nature, suggesting that Einstein was not merely mistaken, but actually a fraud:
"Einstein is a beggar dressed in purple clothes and made king using dazzling mathematics that obscure truth"...
"Relativity is a massive deception wrapped in a beautiful mathematical cloak.”
"The theory of relativity is a mass of error and deceptive ideas violently opposed to the teachings of great men of science of the past and even to common sense."
"The theory, wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king. Its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved."
"Relativity is a beggar wrapped in purple whom ignorant people take for a King."
And who would have thought that the fifth dimension in its singularity and reference system, gravity is the anti-partner to electromagnetism
In several places in this video you can spot the foundations of most of what is wrong with this world.
