15 My little kitten, I have just read the most marvelous paper on the production of cathode rays by ultraviolet light.

16 EINSTEIN SIMPLIFIED

17 Part I: His Work/ Implications LIGHT, MATTER, TIME, ENERGY… AND GRAVITY  molecules: DNA, GENOMICS  electronics: COMPUTERS  fission: NUCLEAR POWER,BOMBS  fusion: STARS  gravity:the UNIVERSE

18 Part II: His Life: Humanity/Contradictions *PACIFIST  ATOMIC BOMB ……GODFATHER?? *SOCIALIST  WWII STAUNCHLY AMERICAN  HUGE FBI FILE/ANTI- McCARTHY *NOT RELIGIOUS  JEWISH,ISRAEL, HEBREW U. *WARM, GENTLE  CHAOTIC FAMILY

22 Relativity: Space~Time Energy = Matter Gravity = 4D Geometry

27 Einstein on Relativity A pretty girl sits in your lap for an hour-it seems like just a minute You sit on a hot stove for a minute- it seems like an hour …that’s relativity

28 EINSTEIN’S GRAVITY-1915

29 EINSTEIN SIMPLIFIED…BUT NOT TOO MUCH

30 Observational Proof

31 The Carnegie Observatories. From left to right: Milton Humason, Edwin Hubble, Charles St. John, Albert Michelson, Albert Einstein, W. W. Campbell, and Walter AdamMilton Humason Edwin HubbleCharles St. JohnAlbert Michelson Albert EinsteinW. W. CampbellWalter Adam

32 "Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said 'Let Newton be.' and all was light." (Alexander Pope) "It did not last: the Devil shouting 'Ho. Let Einstein be.' restored the status quo. (Sir John Collings Squire)

33 Gravitational Lensing

34 “What really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation of the world." --Albert Einstein

35 A BLACK HOLE “TEARS” SPACETIME BLACK HOLE OUR SUN

36 HOW TO DETECT BLACK HOLES X-ray binary (artist’s impression)

37 The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible." -- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

38 My Favorite sport is sailing… because it’s the sport which requires the least energy

39 Pacifism/Naziism/the Bomb

40 Einstein in America

41 Letter to FDR

42 FDR Reply

43 E=mc 2  About 1 Kg conversion of matter to energy

44 E = mc 2

45 Israel/Ben-Gurion

46 An Offer he Refused I am deeply moved by the offer from our State of Israel, and at once saddened and ashamed that I cannot accept it. All my life I have dealt with objective matters, hence I lack both the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with people and to exercise official functions. For these reasons alone I should be unsuited to fulfill the duties of that high office, even if advancing age was not making increasing inroads on my strength. I am the more distressed over these circumstances because my relationship to the Jewish people has become my strongest human bond, ever since I became fully aware of our precarious situation among the nations of the world. Translation: Albert Einstein Archives, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

47 Association with “subversives”  1,800 page FBI file (www.fbi.gov) Who is this Subversive ?

52 I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious....
