Books about Einstein

[The Starmaker]

Most of yous
already know,
*every year*
kooks feel
compelled
to write a
book
about Einstein.

This year
we have
Samuel Graydon’s
“Einstein in Time and Space”

(time and space,
space and time,
how original!)

But here is part of the review
from the WSJ:

"In his acknowledgments, the author admits that he “lightly
fictionalized” a few chapters about
representative days at Einstein’s office.
Given the wealth of material on hand, a summary of Einstein’s life
hardly needs any false embellishments."


The Truth is...
all books about
Albert Einstein
are
'highly fictionalized'.

There isn't not one
book ever been written
about Albert Einstein
that contains any truth.

If I'm wrong, name the book?

How about the one where he's still alive, and
has an alternate, extended, descendant lineage.

Anyways the only authoritative book about Einstein is by Einstein,
and his final word on the matter is "Out of My Later Years".

Rest is pulp.

In my podcast's I skim through the good parts in the middle,
where he outlines his theory of relativity, and his theory of physics,
and his philosophy of physics, and his opinion on his opinion.

Oh, not again back to Einstein. I thought you had recovered from that
episode.

[Ross Finlayson]

What, you never heard that one before?

I know it is wasted on you, but you could try:
Abraham Pais, Subtle is the Lord.
(beware, it is also a scientific biography,
so much of it wil be too difficult for you)

Note that Pais was appointed at Princeton in 1947,
that he had an office next to Einstein,
and that they met on an almost daily basis,
until Einstein's death in 1955.
They often had lunch together, and they went for walks in the park.

What makes you think that Abraham Pais
would have lied directly and completely
about all he learned in his contacts with Einstein?

Only 20 percent of the book is a bio, the rest about the science.

and the bio part contains untruhs according to Amazon reviewers.

Now i have to find that 20 percent and see wats in it.

I'll begin with just the cover of the book...

"Subtle is the Lord."


Einstein didn't say that. Einstein said "God is subtle, ..."


I could go on and on about *just* the cover of the book...

but let me give you a quote what the author said in his book...



"In all the years I knew
Einstein, I never read any of his papers..." -Abraham Pais, Subtle is
the Lord

[The Starmaker]

oh, i forgot to mention about the title of the book...

Einstein said..."It makes, of course, no sense..."

[The Starmaker]

I mean, I understand...
somebody said to Pais...

"Hey man, you knew Albert Einstein, why don't you write a book about
him???!!"

"Yeah, I could use the fuckin money but, but,..."

"But WHAT?"

"[WHISPER] I never read any of his papers."

"YOU MEAN ALL THAT TIME YOU KNEW HIM YOU NEVER READ ANY OF HIS FUCKIN
PAPERS???!"

"Why would I need to read his fucking papers, I'm smarter than him!...he
was just a fucking retard! He never looked at me once in the eyes!!!"
"Every time I talked to him he would look the other way!!!"

WHY?"

"I DON'T KNOW,. HE MUST BE A FUCKING RETARD!!!!"

"Well, go read something and write a book, stupid!"

[The Starmaker]

In otherwords, it is NOT a book about Einstein....

"The first biography to emphasize the physicist's scientific research rather than his life..." -The New York Times

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtle_is_the_Lord



The Subject heading of this thread is... Books about Einstein.


"about"...refering to Einstein, not his work, rather his life.


Like for example, he didn't like the Germans because they killed one of his cousins, and he like to bang his cousins.

Yes, very bad of Pais, isn't it?
BTW, that's what the book is praised for.

You would have done better to find that out
before making your claim that it is all lies,

Jan

[J. J. Lodder]

Pais said that, on that cover.

Einstein said: "Raffiniert ist der Herrgott, aber boshaft ist er nicht".
You can render that in English in various ways.
The cover of the book is of course Pais' responsibility,
not Einstein's.

> I could go on and on about *just* the cover of the book...

Yes, that's just you. Trivialities above all.
You could have a look at the wikiparticle about it instead,
if reading the book itself is too much for you,

If he 'realy' knew Einstein he would have known better to use that title
since
Einstein meant otherwise.

[The Starmaker]

i did not see any prasie for the bio part...just fake reviews from
famouse people scrathing eachs others back.

Wake up! Fake Reviews. Solicitced reviews..

[The Starmaker]

"In all the years I knew Einstein, I never read any of his
papers..." -Abraham Pais, Subtle is the Lord

Since Pais said he never read any of Einstein's papers all the years
he knew Einstein...who is to say he *knew* Einstein?

Truth is, when Pais decided to 'write a book' he
had to contact people who actually *knew* Einstein to
be able to write a little bio of Einstein.

Pias is just a fraud.

"The first biography to emphasize the physicist's scientific research
rather than his life..." -The New York Times

oh, i forgot to mention about the title of the book...

Einstein said referring to the title of the book: ..."It makes, of
course, no sense..."

"In all the years I knew Einstein, I never read any of his
papers..." -Abraham Pais, Subtle is the Lord

never read any of his papers????

are you people kidding me?

this is a joke!

Woman, even mentioning one human name in a physics book turns it into a
human history book, not physics.

You cro-magnons don't have it in you to separate the two.

You've turned every science book into crap with depicting your
stupidities and inabilities throughout their pages. We, the Modern
Humans, will one day wash all that stupidities out of the scientific books.

You won't see _one_ human name throughout, neither on concepts nor in
units when you read and learn them. We'll put those names where they
belong. In history books.

Cro-magnon is bad enough, imagine a cro-magnon who's also Bitch of the USA!
