StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-"A human being is a part of the whole that we call the universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical illusion of his consciousness. This illusion is a prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for only the few people nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature."-Albert Einstein
Einstein by his remarkable theory of relativity proved literally every human observation as relative, speed weight height even time (which hardly to accept) and etc are not absolute but relative.
ReplyDeleteIf a rocket is moving 50 thousand miles per hours, according to his theory its speed is 25 thousand mile per hour is only if we consider earth as stationary, not moving. But earth is moving round the sun with a certain speed, again the speed of earth is only true when sun is stationary, but sun is moving in Milky Way, and nothing in universe absolute rest or absolute motion, so the case of other observations including time.
It is difficult to understand that time, so as a joke he used to say that only 14 people understand my theory.
No doubt he was a greatest scientist of 20th century.
