You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

Albert Einstein
Image
It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
Image
If you do the same thing over and over again you cannot ever expect a different outcome.
Albert Einstein
Image
When I'm judging a theory, I ask myself whether, if I were God, I would have arranged the world in such a way.
Albert Einstein
Image
As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vice to ostentatious virtue.
Albert Einstein
Image
I believe we are here to do good. It is the responsibility of every human being to aspire to do something worthwhile, to make the world a better place than the one we found.
Albert Einstein
Image
A permanent peace cannot be prepared by threats but only by the honest attempt to create a mutual trust. However strong national armaments may be, they do not create military security for any nation nor do they guarantee the maintenance of peace.
