Did Einstein have a sense of humor?

fairy tales? , probably you can do that in literature or history, but in physics is sort of hard ..He dedicated his life to work , he was truly a genius, we needed a bunch of scientists to get together just for continue with his legacy ; maybe his ideas were , at his time, sort of fantastic ; but I don't think He was a lier or something ,if that's what you were trying to say... if not, yeah he was fun :P

Its not how much you have to use.  Its how you use what you have.  Einstein is someone who used what he had, but that does not mean that he had all that much more then the rest of us.  His IQ was not extaordinary ( around 150 if I remember right), but the things he did with his brain were.

Einstein talked about hidden variables. Perhaps he meant they were beyond our universe (in another dimention, beyond our grasp).  I think Einstein was right, but that's just me. Its easy for anyone to say: "I agree with a genius..." \n\nBut think about this: if we could see an immaginary universe in a 2d space 1d time the people in that universe would not know what up and down is, even if these people would live (still in 2d space, 1 d time)  on the surface of a cylender.\n But from our 3d space 1d time, we could see that the  "immaginary characters" living on the surface of the cylender are either on one side or the other(upper section or lower, from our point of view in 3d space, 1d time).\n\nYoung's experiment proved that one particle can move trough two holes at the same time.\nWe also know that when you find the position of a particle the system is disturbed.\n\nEinstein was right when he said that: " G-d does'nt play dice!"

Sense of humor, adaptability, curiousity, compassion.

Since themata are strongly related to philosophy and religion, and since these begin forming early in one's life, Einstein's childhood must be examined for events that shaped his thema. Einstein was a peculiar child; he was disproportionately gifted with a visual inclination at the expense of his verbal skills. He did not learn to talk until the age of three, but instead favored nonverbal activities that involved the use of his visual abilities. For example, he loved to build large card houses (AIP, 1996). Also, he was fascinated by a geometry book that he acquired when he was twelve. He would manipulate mental models of the theorems to gain an understanding of the concepts, rather than write out a formal proof: "Only something which did not... seem to be 'evident' appeared to me to be in need of any proof at all" (Holton, 1996, 386).\n\nAdditionally, he was raised in a Jewish household and acquired a strong religious faith in his early years. At the age of twelve, this faith ended in a crisis about which he says: "Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression. Mistrust of every kind of authority grew out of this experience, a skeptical attitude toward the convictions that were alive in any specific social environment-an attitude that has never again left me..." (Lesikar, 1996).\n\nEinstein was raised in a militaristic school that stressed memorization and verbal learning. He did so poorly here that he was not accepted at a noted university, the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich, so instead he went to the Kanton Schule at Aarau. This school followed the philosophy of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, who believed that "conceptual thinking is built on visual learning" (Holton, 1996, 389). Einstein later explained his visual nature: "The words or the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The physical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images which can be 'voluntarily' reproduced and combined" (Holton, 1996, 386-387).

A good sense of humor, great smile, and intellegence.

einstein didn't say anything like that.

Yes Mathematics is the universal lansuage and Einstein is considered a genius not because he was good at maths but because he was a great scientist. Einstein contributed more than any other scientist to the modern vision of physical reality. His special and general theories of relativity are still regarded as the most satisfactory model of the large-scale universe that we have..

they probably think they have a sense of humor

Like all of us, Einstein used 100% of his brain.  There are no areas of the brain that are not alive & active (and therefore, in use.)  It is possible that he did use his brain a little differently from the average person.  But since we really don't have a clear picture of how the average person uses their brain, this is just speculation on my part.

Einstein doesn't like anyone. It doesn't have anything to do with you. He has a mental defect. Given time and therapy, he may recover. He is struggling through his personal issues of feeling unimportant and ignorant, give him time.

I think that Albert Einstein would tell you it's all relative. Stupid answer to a stupid question.\n\nAD

einsteins was a fool by his own standards and a simple translator realistically. All he did was interpret ancient knowledge already know by egyptians and summarians. He tried to understand them then ended up receiving credit for inventing them. Just as the Pythagoras' Theorem was decoded by a guy named Pythagreus or (somthing like that), a Greek i believe. But it was developed in Egypt just that he was the first the translate it. Most these so called great minds are mental migets.

It certainly sounds like something Bohr would have said to Einstein.  Great Quote!

It seems that when asked what he meant by this remark, Einstein replied ‘Nature hides her secret because of her essential loftiness, but not by means of ruse’. Whenever i've seen an Einstein quote refering to god or religion, he appears to be instead refering to the universe. I'd say that by this quote he was voicing his displeasure at quantum mechanics and it's implications that there are certain things that are simply unknowable (such as whether schroedingers cat is dead or alive, as indicated by the poster above).

Because it's important to have a sense of humor.

I like how you put that.  You shouldn't use humor to put people down.  I dont know if he meant it, but is wasn't nice. I dont think it was humours.  i think he was serious.  Also, by the way, you can add comments directly to the question.  Maybe you didnt because you wanted people to give their opinion though.
