111 Quotes About Relativity

Einstein has a feeling for the central order of things. He can detect it in the simplicity of natural laws. We may take it that he felt this simplicity very strongly and directly during his discovery of the theory of relativity. Admittedly, this is a far cry from the contents of religion. I don't believe Einstein is tied to any religious tradition, and I rather think the idea of a personal God is entirely foreign to him.

What to wear: An employee chooses. How to dress: His employer chose.

Let's fly away and live forever

Time felt slower when we do nothing but wait.

You knows dat in New Orleans is not morning 'til dee sun come up.

Je pravda denní a pravda noční. Pravda nemocných a pravda zdravých. Pravda dětí a pravda dospělých. Pravda mužů a pravda žen. Pravda živých a pravda umírajících. Pravda milujících a pravda nenávidících. Pravda šťastných a pravda nešťastných.

Why is it so difficult for us to think in relative terms? Well, for the good reason that human nature loves absoluteness, and erroneously considers it as a state of higher knowledge.

I had a sneaking suspicion that time was not constant, but I guess I could never prove it. I suppose it didn’t really matter. I even had a theory that time didn’t go in straight line at all. I knew I was no Albert Einstein, but I had the sneaking suspicion that everything had happened, was happening, or would happen was really happening all the time. There was no past, present, and future. Everything was going on all at once and forever. If that was true, then each moment was eternity.

How can quantum mechanics and general relativity be reconciled? By re-casting both in terms of holography. The final scientific theory of everything will be mathematical holography, with mental nonlocality at its core. If the whole science community adopts a holographic paradigm rather than a materialist paradigm, a final theory will be available within ten years.
