... speculate about how hard it was to accept the notion that the universe might have had a beginning.” 7 Indeed, in 1933 the universe was still assumed to be eternal and unchanging, and when Albert Einstein, then already a celebrity, endorsed the first propositions of something like a Big Bang model, he was vehemently attacked and even ridiculed. (In the history of science, there has never been a... observations.” And string theory has spawned not only the possibility of a multitude of universes, a “multiverse,” but an infinity of them.

... to the image of the scientist, more specifically the physicist, as a sort of higher being with an intellect out of the ordinary, who indeed sometimes seeks “to understand the mind of God” (cf. Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking). The acceptance of such a view would put science and the crucial decisions made by scientists in our societies beyond the reach of the general public. It would also mean certain ...
... 440 This will lead straight to the official proclamation by the Nazis, Nobel Prize winners among them, of a true “German science” as opposed to a false “Jewish science” of which the world-famous Albert Einstein was the epitome. That this kind of irrationalities, or plain idiocies, did not prevent German engineers to produce an astonishing range of new inventions shows that the engineer does not need an ...
... remarkable." Indeed the Jewish race has produced Page 94 not only prophets like Elijah or philosophers like Spinoza (1632-77), but also the greatest of our modern scientists, Albert Einstein (1879-1955), born one year after Mirra. Besides, my acquaintances of that race are all people of refinement. Like the Hindu Puranas, the old Hebrew books such as the Talmud are full of parables ...
