Einstein: Life
built 619 days ago
Einstein would recall that his years in Zürich were some of the happiest years of his life. He met many students who would become loyal friends, such as Marcel Grossmann, a mathematician, and Besso, with whom he enjoyed lengthy conversations about space and time. He ... met his future wife, Mileva Maric, a fellow physics student from Serbia.

Einstein regularly read the Bible, Old and New Testaments alike (which he continued to do throughout his life). He was taught the rudiments of Hebrew, but never mastered it, and he avoided the course for the traditional Bar-Mitzwa. He revelled in mathematics and music, especially in playing the violin, but recoiled from rigid orthodox rites such as those regarding kosher food, 3 compulsory rules, and Talmudic ways of thought. He began to develop a distrust of all authority, including biblical and religious authority. He had an unusually independent attitude of mind, critical but not sceptical, which was accentuated by his resentment against the authoritarian discipline of his German schoolmasters. This led him to give up his uncritical religious fervour in order to liberate himself from what he spoke of as "the only personal", but without becoming atheistic or hostile to religion.

In the year 2 A.D., Einstein created magic. And ... playing cards. Not just any magic, oh no, SUPER magic. He developed the Magic at Hogwarts and worked with Dumbledore and Harry Potter. He then gave this magic to Jesus and they surfed the solar system together whilst humming a song so catchy they both died from it 10 years later, but came back to life because of all the magic running through their veins. When they came back to life, they danced into one and became the Incredible Hulk.

Einstein apparently ... enjoyed certain parallels between his life and Mozart’s, particularly the composer’s "ability to continue to compose magnificent music even in very difficult and impoverished conditions. In 1905, the year Einstein discovered relativity, he was living in a cramped apartment and dealing with a difficult marriage and money troubles … And just as Mozart’s antics shocked his contemporaries, Einstein pursued a notably Bohemian life in his youth. His studied indifference to dress and mane of dark hair, along with his love of music and philosophy, made him seem more poet than scientist." And, believe it or not, chicks dug him. When he was younger he used to gig on the violin and played with such passion that one female admirer actually said that "he had the kind of male beauty that could cause havoc." Of course, it’s all relative. ~ Tim Manners, editor

This was from a letter written to Hans Muehsam, and dated March 30, 1954, which was about 1 year before Einstein died. This indicates he adopted a vegetarian diet at the end of his life. Previously, on August3, 1953 Einstein had written the following in a letter to Max Kariel, suggesting that he was still eating meat at that time:

Einstein's life and work reflected the disruption of societal certainties and moral absolutes in the modernist atmosphere of the early twentieth century. Imaginative nonconformity was in the air: Picasso, Joyce, Freud, Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and others were breaking conventional bonds. Charging this atmosphere was a conception of the universe in which space and time and the properties of particles seemed based on the vagaries of observations.
