Frequently asked questions about Albert Einstein Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualize the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advance.

That Einstein meant what he said about the relevance of philosophy to physics is evidenced by the fact that he had been saying more or less the same thing for decades. Thus, in a 1916 memorial note for Ernst Mach, a physicist and philosopher to whom Einstein owed a special debt, he wrote:
rare copy of E=MCPIMPED found in basement of old packrat Later, a scroll of note found on a small cave near the Dead Sea that was written on a Starbucks napkin believed to be written by Einstein during one of his time travels, revealed that the M stands for 'Mary Magdalene'. "Because women bitches crap so much that they can efficiently turn every piece of information in their brain into pure energy... E=MC²." And thus proving that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee had it wrong, just as the Nobel Physics Prize Committee has said all the time: "The Nobel Peace Prize Committee is gay," The Nobel Physics Prize Committee once said in a press conference, "I tried to get in bed with him but when I got there, he was in the process of f*cking himself in the *ss yelling: 'OH, MATT! OH, MARK! OH, JOHN! OH, LUKE!
[W]hat strikes the "systematic epistemologist" as mere opportunism might appear otherwise when viewed from the perspective of a physicist engaged, as Einstein himself put it, in "the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations." The overarching goal of that critical contemplation was, for Einstein, the creation of a unified foundation for physics after the model of a field theory like general relativity. Einstein failed in his quest, but there was a consistency and constancy in the striving that informed as well the philosophy of science developing hand in hand with the scientific project.
