Quotes from Einstein and about Einstein: brilliant statements of the great scientist not only about mathematics, but also about life.
What Einstein Said - Today is a funny and wise selection of quotes from Einstein, the world's most famous physicist.
Everyone knows that in addition to winning the Nobel Prize, Einstein was also a famous joker.
By the way, Albert Einstein was nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in Physics, but committee members for a long time hesitated to award the prize to the author of such a revolutionary theory as the theory of relativity. In the end, a solution was found: the Nobel Prize for 1921 was awarded to Einstein for the theory of the photoelectric effect , that is, for the most indisputable work.
Einstein treated the distrust of his colleagues with humor; his quote, heard for the first time at the French Philosophical Society at the Sorbonne, on April 6, 1922, is known:
If the theory of relativity is confirmed, the Germans will say that I am a German, and the French will say that I am a citizen of the world; but if my theory is refuted, the French will declare me a German, and the Germans a Jew.
