Of course, Einstein was a very great scientist indeed, and I have enormous respect for him, and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Intellectual curiosity drove Einstein to some of the world's most important discoveries.
Einstein explained his theory to me every day, and on my arrival I was fully convinced that he understood it.
Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.
The point is that the arts are important enough to have influenced the greatest minds and talents we know. Albert Einstein said that if he were not a physicist, he would probably be a musician.
If I may take the liberty to speak for science at least, today his name and his prizes are without a peer in the world. He not only elevates science but he influences it as well.
I had a difficult time getting my arms around Einstein's work, even when I was a physics major at one of the top universities in India.
It would seem that I, who never could make much sense of physics when I was at school, have now gained a strong sense of Einsteinian space-time. I am free of the nimbyism of now, and feel a strong kinship with both the dead and the unborn.
I think Newton would be the greatest scientist who ever lived.
Dr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.
Someone like Einstein was quite clearly a moralist, and he had a very highly developed political vision and was very spiritual in his way, and there are many biologists and physicists of the first order who are like that.
