Einstein called chess a waste of time, what do you think?

I was in seclusion and in hiding for 2 and a half years. True story! It's wonderful to see you again sweetheart!

Yep. Add that to the wife-beating and ....

REALLY ??...that does it.

keep in mind he said this likely in the early 20th century... context

oh yeah ? dont care

like school in august

Einstein met Mileva Maric at Zurich University. Some say she was the better mathematician and there's little doubt that she co-authored his doctoral thesis, although there's a lot of opposition to the idea. However, Einstein signed a post-marital agreement giving her all the money from his Nobel Prize provided that she never spoke about it, never criticised him, spoke only when spoken to, and cooked him meals every day.

I saw this agreement years ago when it was available on the internet and there is also an agreement in it, by Einstein, that he would no longer use violence against her. However, I think the document is now under copyright protection and it's impossible to see a copy in its entirety.

He had a lot of affairs while married to Maric, including with members of his own family. The child she bore him was disabled and Einstein had no interest .... the money was used to provide a house where the child could live.

There's speculation that Einstein did nothing creative when he wasn't associating with Maric. But she is systematically denigrated ... there's a sort of industry dedicated to building Einstein up and harming her reputation or sidelining her completely.

Around the time I was born, my father was doing work at the first atomic energy installation in England and he knew associates of Einstein. When I was quite small I asked him what they said about Einstein and he replied that none of them liked him. I tried to find out from him why that was but he clammed up and never spoke about it again.

thanks for your insights

Einstein's doctoral thesis was not very mathematical, I believe. His Special and General Theories of Relativity were - the first in a simple but deep way (discarding an assumption so obvious it have been missed for a very long time). The General Theory uses a quite difficult and esoteric branch of mathematics, that of Riemannian manifolds. For some reason it is not often mentioned that Einstein collaborated with an old classmate of his, Marcel Grossman, in the development of this theory. One of the two papers that made public the General Theory was co-authored with Grossman. Unusually, there is a clear demarcation of their contributions to the paper, Einstein's being "physical" and Grossman's "mathematical". To me it seems by far the majority of the work is the latter! See

Outline of a Generalized Theory of Relativity and of a Theory of Gravitation

Perhaps it was only because Grossman was a mathematician that Einstein seems to have got all the public credit? Relativists have plenty of respect for Grossman and meet in his honour every three years.

Reading Einstein's own book on his theories gives a clear impression of the distinctively elegant and logical thinking that led him to them and does not support the idea that these were co-authored or plagiarised, but it is clear that although the fundamental ideas were his, he needed help with the mathematical development.

He probably sucked at it. 

One things for sure. His grooming habits were sub-par. 

did that dog just wink@me ?

Lol ! 

Welcome back

Well it's obvious you care about the suns UV rays damaging your eyes. At least you care about that. Nice sun glasses handsome.

xD Maybe , Maybe not

Yes , But was a Genius for sure .

I got anywhere between 0-300 lol

then dont never ever get it measured. cuz u cant win. iffits too low then ur confidence gets zapped. and iffits too high then yule feel like a U-achiever. thats why i hate those d*mm IQ tests.

lol !! u can have mine. im not using it.
