“When you are courting a nice girl and hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That’s relativity.”
– Albert Einstein
It’s relatively simple. Time contracts when you’re holding the hand of a pretty girl.
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”
-Albert Einstein
Multi-tasking is an illusion. The time/space continuum demands of us that we only do one thing at a time.
“The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking… the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind.If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.”
-Albert Einstein
We have no idea what the consequences of a life’s work will be. For some it has been unimaginable, relatively speaking.
“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”
-Albert Einstein
To the degree that you are certain of reality is the degree to which you do not know what is real. And vice-versa.
“I never think of the future. It comes soon enough”
-Albert Einstein
Dwell too much on what may happen and you’ll miss what is happening.
“When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute, and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.”
-Albert Einstein
When an hour is but a minute, and a minute like an eternity.
