Albert Einstein on what's important

Quote of the day:

Nonetheless, he believed that success can be represented in algebra.

A formula for success attributed to Einstein:
"If A equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y + Z, where X is work, Y is play, Z is keeping your mouth shut."

The Z variable worked for me, when I tried it.

The Third Story in this collection is about Einstein discovering relativity as a child. It's fun.

Happy Reading.


Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation. His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.

How to learn more from his creativity mindset?
