Albert #Einstein's letter (open letter, with Hannah Arendt, et.al) to The New York Times, December 4, 1948, discussing the Deir Yassin (دير ياسين) massacre of April 9th, 1948.
"A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9 (The New York Times), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants — 240 men, women and children— and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a telegram of apology to King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin."

#Einstein's relationship with #Zionism was complicated, but his warnings were prophetic.
"I should much rather see reasonable agreement with the Arabs on the basis of living together in peace than the creation of a Jewish state. My awareness of the essential nature of #Judaism resists the idea of a Jewish state with borders, an army, and a measure of temporal power, no matter how modest. I am afraid of the inner damage Judaism will sustain—especially from the development of a narrow #nationalism within our own ranks, against which we have already had to fight strongly, even without a Jewish state." ----- Albert Einstein, 1938.
Scientists made a remarkable find
That Einstein was proven right this time
Matter and antimatter had the same fate
When it comes to the law of gravity’s weight
The CERN experiment proved the cause
They discovered gravity’s nondiscriminatory laws

La #antimateria cae igual que la materia ordinaria.
En la máquina ALPHA-g del Laboratorio Europeo de Física de Partículas #CERN se ha observado que átomos d antihidrógeno liberados d un confinamiento magnético se comportan de forma consistente con la atracción gravitatoria de la Tierra: tienden a caer hacia abajo. Una vez más, parece acertar la relatividad general de #Einstein en sus predicciones.

Ottenute al #Cern, dal team della collaborazione Alpha, le prime osservazioni sperimentali dirette di atomi di anti-idrogeno in caduta libera. I risultati, pubblicati oggi su Nature, indicano che l’#antimateria – proprio come previsto dalla relatività generale di #Einstein – è soggetta alla stessa attrazione gravitazionale della materia ordinaria.

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.

«Δεν μπορώ να συλλάβω έναν #Θεό που ανταμείβει και τιμωρεί τα πλάσματά του ή έχει μια θέληση όπως αυτή που βιώνουμε στον εαυτό μας. Ούτε μπορώ ούτε θα ήθελα να συλλάβω ένα άτομο που επιζεί του φυσικού του θανάτου. Αφήστε τις αδύναμες ψυχές, από φόβο ή παράλογο εγωισμό, να αγαπούν τέτοιες σκέψεις. Είμαι ικανοποιημένος με το μυστήριο της αιωνιότητας της ζωής και με την επίγνωση και μια ματιά της θαυμαστής δομής του υπάρχοντος κόσμου, μαζί με την αφοσιωμένη προσπάθεια να κατανοήσω ένα μέρος, ακόμα και τόσο μικροσκοπικό, του Λόγου που εκδηλώνεται στη φύση.»
“I cannot conceive of a #God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.”

This review on Elon Musk book is better than the book 🤣 — ‘Arrested Development’ — worth a read 👍
“To go from #Einstein to #Musk in only five volumes is surely an indication that humanity isn’t sending #Isaacson its best.”
“Elon didn’t just exaggerate, he made it up,” a former colleague tells us”
“The messianic part of the #Muskiverse is his attempt to put 140m miles between himself and his father as he tries to turn humanity into a “#multiplanetary civilization”

Lasciamo stare l'originalità della coppia ascensore-relatività. Sicuramente non si tratta del primo #ascensore (semmai il primo ascensore elettrico, ma è del 1880, cioè di quando #Einstein era neonato)
Ma poi... A #Berlino? Ma non stava a #Zurigo? Se accettiamo come data convenzionale per la fine della #BelleÉpoque lo scoppio della #PrimaGuerraMondiale (28 luglio 1914), Einstein a Berlino ci ha lavorato letteralmente le ultime poche settimane (si era trasferito il I aprile).

TIL: #Batterien werden mit zunehmender Entladung tatsächlich leichter.
Ich bleibe trotzdem skeptisch. Man kann zwar laut #Einstein #Masse und #Energie ineinander umwandeln, das heißt aber noch lange nicht, dass dies in einer #Batterie auch passiert. Somit kann man aus einer vollen Batterie vermutlich mehr Masse gewinnen als aus einer leeren, aber das muss dafür ja auch erstmal jemand tun. 🤔

Albert #Einstein was a #socialist relatively speaking.
"This crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a preparation for his future career.“ #Einstein #socialism #education
"Private capital tends to become concentrated in few hands, partly because of competition among the capitalists, and partly because technological development and the increasing division of labor encourage the formation of larger units of production at the expense of smaller ones. The result of these developments is an oligarchy of private capital the enormous power of which cannot be effectively checked even by a democratically organized political society." #Einstein #socialism
Today I learned: Albert #Einstein was a #socialist

They seem not to know what to do with it. But it immediately occurred to me that it could be useful in #games #graphics textures, where you want a tiling texture which doesn't form obvious patterns to the eye as you zoom out.

Who will be the first to create a board game with this new shape/tile?
“A new shape called an einstein has taken the math world by storm. The craggy, hat-shaped tile can cover an infinite plane with patterns that never repeat.”
Better question still: what will be the best (sort of) game with this new shape/tile?

“#science without #religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

My wife discovered that these hat tiles :monotile: can be arranged around hexagonal holes. To be clear, this does *not* contradict any aperiodicity tiling claims because, well, there are a bunch of holes! But we still thought it was neat :)
I guess it's not hard to realize that any aperiodic tile set could be part of a larger set of periodic tiles, but this seems to be an especially nice one. Plus, she had fun!!
Wow!! What a breathe of fresh air this paper is in the midst of suffocating levels of "AI solves everything" hype cycle.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.10798
They have found at long last, a single tile, an "einstein", which they call a "hat"/polykite that tiles the entire plane aperiodically.
Previously the best known aperiodic tiling of the plane required at the least two different tiles, the most famous ones being the Penrose tiles, and those that adorn Alhambra.
It is all the more wonderful that the first two authors don't have any academic/research affiliations. They write somewhere in the paper, how it all started, so wonderful:
"One of the authors (Smith) began investigating the hat polykite as part of his open-ended visual exploration of shapes and their tiling properties. Working largely by hand, with the assistance of Scherphuis’s PolyForm Puzzle Solver software (www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/polysolver.htm), he could find no obvious barriers to the construction of large patches, and yet no clear cluster of tiles that filled the plane periodically."
Why is the study of tilings such a big deal? Well, it hints at and tries to formalize various physics concepts that are of immense interest to many of us (and dare I say, even neuroscientists): quasi crystals!, possible new states of matter, emergent structures from simple units, how symmetries and asymmetries arise, stability of heterogenous media, soft matter physics, order without periodicity, criticality etc., etc.,
On quasi-crystals and their search, applications, uses etc., I recommend the wonderful Paul Steinhardt's book: "The Second Kind of Impossible: The Extraordinary Quest for a New Form of Matter"

Gravitational Lensing
Einstein's Theory of Relativity predicted that the path of light should bend slightly when influenced by an object's gravitational field, but how to prove it?
Sir Frank Watson Dyson, Britain's Astronomer Royal, conceived the perfect experiment to test the theory by using the upcoming total solar eclipse of May 29, 1919. The sun would cross the path of the bright Hyades star cluster and the light from the cluster would have to pass through the sun's gravitational field on its way to Earth. The eclipsing of the sun's normally blinding light by the moon would make it darker and easier to measure any slight shift in the faint light from the cluster.
Sir Arthur Eddington, British Astronomer, mathematician and physicist, led the experiment making precise measurements of the positions of the stars prior to the eclipse. During the eclipse astronomers took pictures from several locations on Earth during the six minutes of total eclipse and Eddington compiled these data. When Eddington announced the results confirming Einstein's predictions on November 6th, 1919, Einstein became a celebrity overnight.
The bending of light around massive objects is now known as "gravitational lensing" and is used in astronomy to try to understand dark matter and the expansion of the universe, and to find exoplanets.

Las ik net: “Een opgeruimd huis zorgt helemaal niet voor een opgeruimde geest of een opgeruimd leven. Zoals Einstein zich afvroeg: ‘Als een rommelig bureau een teken is van een rommelige geest, waarvan is een leeg bureau dan een teken?’ Die vraag is onderzocht. Een opgeruimde, of lege, kamer blijkt er vooral voor te zorgen dat proefpersonen conventionelere keuzes maken. Dit terwijl een rommelige kamer juist hun creatieve vermogens vergroot.” #creatief #rommel #einstein #progressief

@antolius what’s fascinating to me in the scientific process is how much important of a role “imagination” plays in it. Every theory we have was born out of someone imagining something. This makes me appreciate what #Einstein said: “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
Albert Einstein‘s summer home in Caputh. He had the home built himself with the help of #architect Konrad Wachsmann and lived here between 1929-1932 before he fled Germany forever due to #nazi control.

Physicists have created the first-ever #wormhole, a kind of tunnel theorized in 1935 by Albert #Einstein and Nathan #Rosen that leads from one place to another by passing into an extra dimension of #space.

Although the work’s interpretation remains disputed, it represents a step towards understanding the #quantum nature of #gravity. https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-create-a-wormhole-using-a-quantum-computer-20221130/
