Albert Einstein | The struggle, so violent in the early days of science

“The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either CS [coordinate system] could be used with equal justification. The two sentences, “the Sun is at rest and the Earth moves,” or “the Sun moves and the Earth is at rest,” would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS.” Albert Einstein, The Evolution of Physics: From Early Concepts to Relativity and Quanta “Der in der Frühzeit der Wissenschaft so heftige Kampf zwischen den Ansichten von…

Albert Einstein | I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track

“You imagine that I look back on my life’s work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track.” Albert Einstein “Sie können sich vorstellen, dass ich mit ruhiger Zufriedenheit auf mein Lebenswerk zurückblicke. Doch aus der Nähe sieht es ganz anders aus. Es gibt kein einziges Konzept, von dem ich überzeugt bin, dass es Bestand haben wird, und ich…

Albert Einstein | That a man can take pleasure

„That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was all he needed. This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism by order, senseless violence, and all the pestilent nonsense that does by the name of patriotism–how I hate them! War seems to me a mean, contemptible thing: I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in…
