What advice was Einstein giving the student?

Sometimes your teachers will want you to assist them in persuing THEIR vision.....Keep true to your own vision as well.

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.

Einstein, The man of the quantity.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. \n\nThe professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."\n\nThe professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.\n\n"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.\n\nThe pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else---the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.\n\n"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."\n\nOne of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

If you read some of einstiens essays you will begin to see he was a man of strong moral conviction. WHO stood for peace and did not advocate war except as a last resort. type in einsteins name with essays and see for your self.

Richard Feynman won the Nobel in Physics and he kept asking himself how he should teach physics.\nAnyway, he did it extraordinarily, so I belive the answer is: just teach with passion. \n\nCheers for Feynman.

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.

here's what I want to know:  is there anything you enjoy about physics?\n\nI know that's an odd question, but here's why I'm asking:  if you approach your studies as an opportunity to learn something new, it'll become less of a chore and a memorization thing. Concentrate on learning concepts rather than facts and formulas. \n\nIn high school you're taught to regurgitate information. In college it's usually (hopefully) different. Most professors want to broaden your mind, and that's not going to happen if you're just spitting out facts and figures. \n\nThe best way to stop worrying is to enjoy the process. Really.\n\nI'd recommend going to the prof and asking him what you're doing wrong--tell him you really want to succeed in his class.  (you may be surprised by his response, hopefully in a positive way)

he could have easily said that because if you work in binary math 1+1 doesn't = 2, 1+1=1.\n\nPS I don't know for a fact if Einstein actually said it or not, but it is possible

einstein didn't say anything like that.

einstein. he just sat in his chair and thought of theories. he did experiments in his mind

Some of Einstein's Ideas are already being rewritten. So, quoting him as an end-all to the question of anti-gravity really doesn't mean a whole lot. Newton's laws were rewritten after his time, as science learned more about itself. It's not unreasonable to assume that the same will occur in reguards to this taboo topic too. I remember seeing a video of a man who has come close, with a spinning top device. By itself, it weighs far too much to lift by hand. But, once it is set spinning, it could be lifted by a child. :)\n\nCurrent science is not an absolute. :) Don't give up hope!

Albert Einstein:\n\n\nThe whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.\n\n\nReality is the real business of physics.\n\n\nThe creative scientist studies nature with the rapt gaze of the lover, and is guided as often by aesthetics as by rational considerations in guessing how nature works.\n\n\nHere arises a puzzle that has disturbed scientists of all periods. How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the objects of physical reality? Can human reason without experience discover by pure thinking properties of real things?\n\n\nThe most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.\n\n\nScience without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.\n\n\nWhoever has undergone the intense experience of successful advances made [in science] is moved by the profound reverence for the rationality made manifest in science.\n\n\nThat deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.\n\n\nThe only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working. One is tempted to stop and listen to it. The only thing is to turn away and go on working. Work. There is nothing else.\n\n\nOne ought to be ashamed to make use of the wonders of science embodied in a radio set, while appreciating them as little as a cow appreciates the botanical marvels in the plant she munches. \n\n\nWe believe in the possibility of a theory which is able to give a complete description of reality, the laws of which establish relations between the things themselves and not merely between their probabilities ... God does not play dice.\n\n\nInsofar as mathematics is about reality, it is not certain, and insofar as it is certain, it is not about reality.\n\n\nThe most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.\n\n\nHave holy curiosity.\n\n\nGravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.\n\n\nWhere the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science.\n\n\nWatch the stars, and from them learn. To the Master's honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton's ground.\n\n\nThings should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.\n\n\nSometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.\n\n\nCommon sense is a collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.\n\n\nProblems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.\n\n\nIf I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my dreams in music. I see my life in terms of music... I get most joy in life out of music.\n\n\nI am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.\n\n\nThe most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science \n\n\nThe release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one ... I do not believe that civilization will be wiled out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two thirds of the people of the Earth will be killed.\n\n\nPerfection of means and confusion of ends seems to characterize our age.\n\n\nThe important thing is not to stop questioning. \n\n\nThe process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.\n\n\nIf my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German ... should my theory prove untrue ... Germany will declare tha

I think Isaac Newton might have been as good, considering the limitations of his own time. Just remember he had to develop a new whole math to support his theories! (calculus) Then I dunno, but today Stephen Hawking? Have you read a brief history of time and the universe in a nutshell? I dunno, really, Einstein was GREAT!

hi...\nlooks like your frantic to become an einstein...\nanyway i just want to share some tips with you...\n\n* get to know all the formulas in your  standard  syllabus and little higher too..because maths alwasy means "the more cunning and clever ..the better you tackle the subject from all angles" cunning i meant the questions.. since those questions will be to find out who thinks out of the box..\n\n* try to analyse the data with the question and find equations relate closer to the answer..\n\n*mostly look intoalgebraic and arithmetic problems, quadratic equations,trignometric ratios, polynomials geometrical figures and graphs /statistics. i know these willbe common topics to you..but questions will be of a higher level\n\n* try to refer the previous or if possible any question of maths olympiad held previously ,so that you can refresh yourself with the questions\n\n* questions are not going to be simple since it is going to be tough... so spend enought  time with each of your math topic and try to work even difficult and unusual problems too..i.e which you havent worked out ..\n\n* relax and study..pray to god..he can help you face this challenge... so get prepared for the war with numbers\n\nall the best and good luck to you

Einstein was bloody serious with pure analytic thinking!\nAnd on earth he proved to be right.
