English Albert-einstein Thoughts

"Albert Einstein, who was admired as almost superhuman and whose fate it was to become one of the most famous people on the planet, never identified with the image the collective mind had created of him. He remained humble, egoless. In fact, he spoke of "a grotesque contradiction between what people consider to be my achievements and abilities and the reality of who I am and what I am capable of."

"This illusory sense of self (the ego ) is what Albert Einstein, who had deep insights not only in to the reality of space and time but also into human nature, referred to as "an optical illusion of consciousness."

"Einstein's theory of relativity has advanced our ideas of the structure of the cosmos a step further. It is as if a wall which separated us from Truth has collapsed. Wider expanses and greater depths are now exposed to the searching eye of knowledge, regions of which we had not even a presentiment. It has brought us much nearer to grasping the plan that underlies all physical happening"

"After Riemann had made known his discoveries, mathematicians busied themselves with working out his system of geometrical ideas formally; chief among these were Christoffel , Ricci , and Levi-Civita . Riemann... clearly left the real development of his ideas in the hands of some subsequent scientist whose genius as a physicist could rise to equal flights with his own as a mathematician. After a lapse of seventy years this mission has been fulfilled by Einstein"

"His work revolved around three rules which apply to all science , our problems , and times: 1. Out of clutter, find simplicity ; 2. From discord make harmony ; and finally 3. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity"

"Most scientists are happiest when they are making clear progress, solving some perhaps small but well-defined and significant problems by clever adaptations of known techniques. Most people —perhaps all— feel acutely anxious and unhappy when they are "groping in the dark" or find themselves poised uneasily upon "no firm foundation." We must admire the courage of those rare individuals who, like Einstein, systematically seek out such situations"

"We all love life it is like a car with Humans inside it and at every stop we unload a passenger to the grave, and as Albert Einstein said life is like riding a bicycle to maintain your balance you must keep moving, and the response to this saying is that as lon as death comes, movement does not come from the human being.~~ June 20, 2025"

"A niece of Einstein's, in India during the 1960s, paid a special visit to the headquarters of the Theosophical Society at Adyar . She explained that she knew nothing of theosophy or the society, but had to see the place because her uncle always had a copy of Madame Blavatsky 's Secret Doctrine on his desk. The individual to whom the niece spoke was Eunice Layton , a world-traveled theosophical lecturer who happened to be at the reception desk when she arrived"

"Napoleon , and other great men of his type, they were makers of empire. But there is an order of men that get beyond that: They are not makers of empire, but they are makers of universe . And when they have made those universes, their hands are unstained by the blood of any human being on earth. ... Ptolemy made a universe, which lasted 1400 years. Newton also made a universe, which has lasted 300 years. Einstein has made a universe, and I can't tell you how long that will last"

"To-day, thanks to Einstein, we have definite reasons for believing that ultra-precise observation of nature has revealed our natural geometry arrived at with solids and light rays to be slightly non-Euclidean and to vary from place to place. So although the non-Euclidean geometers never suspected it (with the exception of Gauss , Riemann and Clifford ), our real world happens to be one of the dream-worlds whose possible existence their mathematical genius forsaw"
