Yikes! Does he have any evidence that Einstein was like that or is it like one of those Sittenfeld books that just makes up an alternate life for a real person? (don't love that myself) I really enjoyed this biography of Einstein might be a good palate cleanser: https://www.amazon.com/Einstein-Life-Universe-Walter-Isaacson/dp/0743264746
You're confused but you think you're right, the most dangerous combo. Photoelectric effect is something different. Theory of Relativity was published in 1905. I literally read the official biography of Einstein. They absolutely discuss exactly what I said. Read it and then get back to me. https://www.amazon.com/Einstein-Life-Universe-Walter-Isaacson/dp/0743264746. I'm not even blaming you, what you're saying is really easy to believe in if you don't know all the details. What do you actually know about the Nobel Prize Max Planck won in lieu of Einstein? If the answer is nothing, then read the book. Great read.
I really enjoyed the biography of Einstein by Walter Isaacson and if you've never read the Three Musketeers books (the whole trilogy is great), I would highly recommend it. Actually, anything by Dumas.
He never liked wearing socks, and when he became world famous he said that he had nothing to prove to anybody. He would wear crazy shoes with no socks. He also really enjoyed to play the absent minded professor. source
It's tough, but totally worth it to learn.
This book gives an absolutely amazing qualitative description of Einstein's theory.
How about Einstein? I would suggest reading this book about his life
Honestly I'm about 3/4 of the way through this book and it is a fantastic read.
Could you then clarify what you meant by writing "people's views evolve over time," or the period of time over which you think Einstein's views evolved into what would now be considered atheism? At least as late as 1952, he considered the order and intelligibility of the universe "the weakness of positivists and professional atheists" (<em>Einstein: His Life and Work</em>, p. 462), and clearly he was much more inclined to denigrate atheists than religious believers throughout his life. He wrote, in as many words, that it angered him to be cited by people such as yourself as if he were sympathetic to atheism. Cherry-pick whatever quotes you like, but it's clear that you're writing about your own views and not Einstein's when all the facts are considered.
