Albert Einstein Quotes

Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you've built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink.

Was Einstein's theory good? Relatively.

And it really began with Einstein. We attended his lectures. Now the theory of relativity remained - and still remains - only a theory. It has not been proven. But it suggested a completely different picture of the physical world.

I heard that in relativity theory, space and time are the same thing. Einstein discovered this when he kept showing up three miles late for his meetings.

If you look at Einstein's equations and put in low speeds and low gravity, they become Newton's equations.

Have you ever heard of the theory of relativity?" Artemis blinked. "Is this a joke? I have traveled through time, Doctor. I think I know a little something about relativity.

In my relativity theory I set up a clock at every point in space, but in reality I find it difficult to provide even one clock in my room.

It was Einstein who made the real trouble. He announced in 1905 that there was no such thing as absolute rest. After that there never was.

The bottom line is that time travel is allowed by the laws of physics.

Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for small things.

They say Einstein died while he was still trying to figure out gravity. I think I'm going to die still trying to figure out some of the things about Blink.

I always found it satisfying that gravity was described by Einstein's geometric theory of general relativity.

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Einstein explained his theory to me every day, and on my arrival I was fully convinced that he understood it.

If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?

It’s all right that you do not understand my Theory of Relativity. I do not understand your Theory of Normalcy.

I don’t think anything about Einstein’s theory because I don’t understand it.

I am not enough of a mathematician to be able to judge either the well-foundedness or the limits of relativity in physics.

The special theory of relativity owes its origins to Maxwell's equations of the electromagnetic field.

It is almost impossible to have a baseless snobbish opinion of the General Theory of Relativity.

Conventionally, one looks at history as something of the past. But after Einstein, who knows what is in the past and what is in the present?

Today we say that the law of relativity is supposed to be true at all energies, but someday somebody may come along and say how stupid we were.

Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang.

When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory.

The real reason why general relativity is widely accepted is because it made predictions that were borne out by experimental observations.
