Albert Einstein Quotes
I do not believe in race as such. Race is a fraud. All modern people are the conglomeration of so many ethnic mixtures that no pure race remains.
Viereck, George Sylvester. Glimpses of the Great. Macaulay Company, 1930.
Rowan was primarily referring to the miscegenation that took place since Negro slavery in the Americas. Rape of slaves by white “masters” and their male relatives was common. In addition there have been interracial romantic relationships from the time Blacks were first in America. These have increased dramatically in the 20th and 21st centuries. However, he was slightly in error as he did not consider the origin of man, where science has traced the DNA of EVERY human on Earth back to a Black African female. Hence 100 percent of humans have “Negroid” blood in the sense that there has been inter-racial breeding in the past.
It is hard to tell what was the basis for Marti’s famous statement. We know now from modern DNA analysis and the human genome that we are all a single race but that was not known then. Many contemporaries thought he was speaking metaphorically, spiritually or religiously. In the view of Christ, there was only man. However, this was one of the first statements of this truth which at the time was not believed by almost everyone.
The population was an amalgam of Spaniards, Englishmen and other Europeans, Blacks originally brought over as slaves from Africa, and indigenous people from many different tribes.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius".
