"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
This post prompted by my use of this Einstein quote in a lecture this morning in response to a complaint from a student: :)
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
Another one I have always liked is:
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
Here is a list of Einstein quotes. |
