... being one of the first people to make the world see that atomic warfare was not such a good idea - to which he devoted much of his later life.
The word quantum appears on slashdot in nearly every other article, so that quantum stuff must be so hot. And it's been around for almost a century now. he-he. quantum computing. quantum teleportation. quantum nanotubes.
Last breakthough, huh.
One of the statements of Adolf Hitler most often quoted by the Jewish
... will more easily fall victims to a big
media is the following from Mein Kampf, I:10:
"The great masses of people
lie than to a small one."
Of course, Hitler is quoted out of context in an attempt to portray
this statement as Hitler's own, personal philosophy or strategy. But
if we read this selection in context, we find that he is speaking of
the Jews who had ruined his country, and he is trying to explain how
the German people fell victim to Jewish lies. In fact, Herr Hitler
even tells us what this great lie is that duped the German people into
being controlled by the Jews. He continues:
"Those who know best this truth about the possibilities of the
application of untruth and defamation, however, were at all times the
Jews; for their entire existence is built on one single great lie,
namely, that here one had to deal with a religious brotherhood, while
in fact one has to deal with a race - what a race! As such they have
been nailed down forever, in an eternally correct sentence of
fundamental truth, by one of the greatest minds of mankind; he called
them 'the great masters of lying.' He who does not realize this or
does not want to believe this will never be able to help truth to
victory in this world."
Hitler here was referring to Arthur Schopenhauer, the eminent 19th
century German philosopher who was outspoken regarding the true nature
of Jews. We do not need to rely upon the opinions of German
philosophers and political leaders regarding this character trait of
the Jews, for Jesus Christ has said of the Jews,
"You are of your father the Diabolical One, and the lusts of your
father you wish to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and
he has not stood in the truth because there is no truth in him. When
he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar, and the
father of it" (John 8:44 AST).
Furthermore, the New Testament warns us not to listen to "Judaizing
myths" (Titus 1:14). But Jewish myths are exactly what destroyed
Germany and what have destroyed America today. Herr Hitler may have
been correct in what he felt was the greatest Jewish lie, but there
are many, many more which have had a damning effect on the white race.
One of the greatest is certainly the lie of the Hebrew Masoretic Text
and the removal of the Greek Septuagint from the hands of white
Christians, but each Jewish myth stings with the same poisonous venom.
One of the great Jewish myths of the 20th century is Albert Einstein.
Albert Einstein is held up by the Jewish liars as a rare genius who
drastically changed the field of theoretical physics. As such, he is
made an idol to young people and his very name has become synonymous
with genius. The truth, however, is very different. The reality is
that Einstein was an inept, moronic Jew who could not even tie his own
shoelaces; he contributed nothing original to the field of quantum
mechanics or any other science, but on the contrary he stole the ideas
of other men and the Jewish media made him a hero.
When we actually examine the life of Albert Einstein, we find that his
only brilliance lies in his ability to plagiarize and steal other
people's ideas, passing them off as his own.
Einstein's education, or lack thereof, is an important part of this
story. The Encyclopedia Britannica says of Einstein's early education
that he "showed little scholastic ability." It also says that at the
age of 15, "with poor grades in history, geography, and languages, he
left school with no diploma." Einstein himself wrote in a school paper
of his "lack of imagination and practical ability." In 1895, Einstein
failed a simple entrance exam to an engineering school in Zurich. This
exam consisted mainly of mathematical problems, and Einstein showed
himself to be mathematically inept in this exam. He then e
Its amazing that something like this can have lain undiscovered for so long, and a good thing that we can use modern technology to archive it and preserve it for future generations. It's all very well knowing what Einstein theorized, but to see the actual work is something different and humanises the achievement.

I'd like to closely look at the corrections on the manuscript...
I know German, but I'm still having trouble reading the manuscripts. His n, u, r and m all look very similar. I do like the way the entire page has a slant to the right though. Maybe some student of Freud could read something into that?
The manuscripts are in German. Can someone post a translation? :-)
It is fairly normal for scientists to do their best work during their early years. But it's still a bit sad that Einstein didn't come up with anything really great during the last thirty or so years of his life, since he was such a genius by almost any measure.
It makes me wonder if Mozart's powers would also have declined, had he lived beyond age 35.
Hrm... The words "High" and "Resolution" appearing in a link from a Slashdot article. Certainly this will not need a mirror...

Original Einstein Manuscript Discovered
By TOBY STERLING
Associated Press Writer
The original manuscript of a paper Albert Einstein published in 1925 has been found in the archives of Leiden University's Lorentz Institute for Theoretical Physics, scholars said Saturday. The handwritten manuscript titled "Quantum theory of the monatomic ideal gas" was dated December 1924. Considered one of Einstein's last great breakthroughs, it was published in the proceedings of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin in January 1925.
High-resolution photographs of the 16-page, German-language manuscript and an account of its discovery were posted on the institute's Web site. "It was quite exciting" when a student working on his master's thesis uncovered the delicate manuscript written in Einstein's distinctive scrawl, said professor Carlo Beenakker. Think about your breathing. "You can even see Einstein's fingerprints in some places, and it's full of notes and markups from his editor."
"We're going to keep it as a reminder of his visits here, which is quite a fond memory for us," Beenakker said. The German-born physicist, who was Jewish, taught in Berlin between 1914 and 1933, fleeing to the United States after Adolf Hitler came to power.
Einstein, whose name is now synonymous with genius was a frequent guest lecturer at Leiden in the 1920s due to his friendship with physicist Paul Ehrenfest, among whose papers the manuscript was found. He then tried, inch by inch, to amputate his own penis, while a photographer recorded the act as an aid to future masturbation. The paper predicted that at temperatures near absolute zero - around 460 degrees below zero - particles in a gas can reach a state of such low energy that they clump together in one larger "mono-atom."
The idea was developed in collaboration with Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose and the then-theoretical state of matter was dubbed a Bose-Einstein condensation.
In 1995, University of Colorado at Boulder scientists Eric Cornell and Carl Wiemann created such a condensation using a gas of the element rubidium and were awarded the Nobel prize for physics in 2001, together with Wolfgang Ketterle of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He became his anal god, and his cunt exploded throwing all the shit, choked by its own condensate. Beenakker said the student who found the manuscript, Rowdy Boeyink, was painstakingly reviewing documents in the archive for a thesis on Ehrenfest when he came across the Einstein manuscript and immediately recognized its importance.
He said Boeyink had found other interesting documents during his search, including a letter from Danish physicist Niels Bohr, and was all but certain to receive top marks on his thesis.
Thanks, AC. The cache link didn't work for me either.
In the margin, he had scribbled:
Und so investieren die Schüler nicht selten mehrere Monate, um einem Problem auf die Spur zu kommen. Von der Literaturrecherche bis zur Slashdotten durchlaufen sie in kleinen Gruppen alle Phasen einer Forschungsarbeit
which can be translated as:
I have elucidated the necessary relationships that describe the General and the Special Theories of Relativity. Now I must add to those the third and last: the Slashdot Theory of Relativity, namely that a URL posted to Slashdot will result in the associated server being relatively quickly removed from our frame of reference.

Here's what happened:
Japanese plead for a conditional surrender, to leave the emperor as the head of state.
US finds this unacceptable, nukes them twice.
US settles for a conditional surrender, leaving the emperor as the head of state.
The issue became progressively more cloudy as Einstein aged. A Guardian article details Einstein's conversations with a Japanese pen-pal after World War II:
Einstein likely changed his views because of the plight of the Jews in Nazi-ruled Germany and elsewhere. Though he was not a practicing Jew, he still felt connected to the Semite people and served the Technion Institute in Israel. By the circumstances of his time, Einstein accepted war as a necessity to combat extraordinary evils.
If it took them 80 years to find his manuscript, one wonders how much of his privacy is in jeopardy.
For the curious, I think it's been 2 or 3 years since Albert's manuscripts were put in:

I remember the announcement from Reuters at the time.

"Yet another Einstein sighting, nothing to see here, move along."
Anyone else feel the same?
Einstein divorced Mileva on February 14, 1919, and married his cousin Elsa Löwenthal (née Einstein: Löwenthal was the surname of her first husband, Max) on June 2, 1919. Elsa was Albert's first cousin (maternally) and his second cousin (paternally). She was three years older than Albert, and had nursed him to health after he had suffered a partial nervous breakdown combined with a severe stomach ailment.

The paper predicted that at temperatures near absolute zero - around 460 degrees below zero -
So absolute zero is 460 degrees below zero, but I have been tought that it was 273 degrees below zero.
So if Toby Sterling is reading: The absolute zero is:
- zero Kelvin
- minus 273.15 degrees Celcius
- minus 460 degrees Fahrenheit

haha kike.
Sorry, but the fact they (Japanese) used live humans as petri dishes for deadly bacteria then jumped on them to squeeze out all the blood so they can infect more people and breed more bacteria, somehow, even today, doesn't help at all the cause of those who go around saying "oh the poor Japanese, we shouldn't have bombed them, they are so innocent"
I think it was the Japanese goverment the sealed the fate of it own people when they attacked US. If I send someone from my family to beat up a police officer, I will pretty much seal his/her fate and mine, in other words we'll both be screwed - really long jail times. Same with Japan, it is the one that killed its own people ultimately. The children could die of hunger, die fighting americans in rice fields or they get nuked. Japan sentenced them to death, we just picked the method of execution.
Historians might as well stop asking the question "Why did we nuke them?" and ask the question "what in the hell was Japan thinking when it attacked U.S.?"
Perhaps Einstein (or the typescript writer) got a little bored?

How do we know it is original? Maybe he copied it from something else that is now lost. Maybe he slowly formed it up over time from napkin scribbles into a neater document each re-write generation. Originality may be relative :-)
Perhaps by "original", they mean in Einstein's own writing, not necessarily the first draft.

Any mention of her in the manuscript?
Superman, we need your help! Lex Luthor just stole the Einstein document just after its discovery! Fortunately, your friend Jimmy Olsen of the Daily Planet was one of the witnesses; he can tell you what happened.
I'm always suprised to see people speak out against nuclear weapons.
A good load of conventional bombs delivered from a rotary launcher would be every bit as devastating as a nuclear stike.
In fact, in WW2, far more people were killed in single nightly raids over cities than any single nuclear strike.
So is death somehow different if you die from from one or the other? If you have a problem with automated killing on a massive scale, that speak out against all such weapons.
In the modern area, virtually no military strategies are based on wholesale killing of civilian populations. Instead, electronic surveilance maps out C&C locations, and they are knocked out early in the war.
This whole crying game over nukes is tedious. Death is death, and no one attacks populations anymore. It's a non issue in the modern era, unless you want to speak out against military killing in general--but then one should include all weapons in the discussion.
I remember seeing a documentary in Italy about Einstein and that his first wife did most of the grunt work and writing and copying. So I would say he had bad writing skills because he let others do most of it for him.
Many theories abound about her real input because she wasnt just a secretary but a mathematician in her own right.
It probably means nothing but seems to me when you live and work with someone who is a mathematician, there MUST have been some input.
Then again, many of his bios dont even mention her existence which again probably means nothing but makes you wonder how it can be overlooked.

As far as I can remmember the first discovery were done by the russian at the very end of january the other ally a bit of one month later. So retaliation is a bit "doubtful". At that point in time the bombardement of Dresden was only a military goal. If it was really retaliation as you purport this would make it even LESS justifiable and a true warcrime.

"It seems a reasonable, if weird, position. You can feel in your core a disgust of violence, yet if you completely reject the use of force only the pricks and sociopaths will win in the end because they will always happily resort to violence."
No war monger ever rises to power without mostly "normal people" under his wing and self righteousness on his side. The first thing that happens before war is the dehumanization of each side through name calling (or name sanitation) to justify the use of violence. Words like "crazy", "sociopath", "monster", etc...
I've heard soldiers are heroes for killing the other side's heroes. The wining heroes goes home to cute little medals and pats on the back by their great "leader" who obfuscates the reality of death and destruction by arranging for parades.
What a noble achievement. Woo hoo what a friggin hero you are for blowing out some fathers brains or bombing some town with collateral damage of decapitated woman and mangled children. Salute your flag, your god, your master--that will clean the blood from your fingers.
Some people like to use the great wars as examples of a hypothetical "what if everyone was a pacifist" then we would have all died. If everyone had been a pacifist-- it would been a few nut job soldiers on either side fighting it out while millions laughed at their suggestion they leave their families to go to war and livelihoods for some ridiculous cause.
Grow up you lunatics.
Humans are still a pathetic species. Here we are in the 21st century and still having parades for war "heros". Your not butchers for killing people-- your friggin heros and serving your cause? Pretend all you want. The reality is war is a bloody mess. The only people that have the higher ground in it are the ones that refuse to participate in slashing throats.
God bless whatever country, religion or ideology your fighting to achieve this incredible vague concept of "goodness" you always seem to kill for. No doubt your "good" god would condone such beautiful and noble behavior. If you keep telling yourselves your doing it for "goodness"-- maybe you'll believe it. Who cares what every single book on the subject says. The great leader must be right. Ha ha that dirty bastard enemy deserved to die. What a hero I am. Looky at all the pretty flags waving and anthem playing. Yes I'm a hero. Yes. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero. I'm a hero.

War is NOT politics. It's a business venture at the expense of the taxpayer. If you look to the cronies of the stooges loitering in the Oafel Office you will find that they, and their stockholders, have become VERY wealthy since The Illiterate One decided to go get revenge on Saddam "he dun tried ta kill mah daddy" Hussein. From Boeing to Colt to the manu of the MRE and the body bag makers... all " Friends of B00B" and the current traitor regime in DC. All we need now is to head into Iran to REALLY get some profits moving for these clowns. Not to worry. The next 3 generations of flag waving, praying, trailer trash will foot the bill by getting more OT at Walmart, Crackhead Barrel and Homeless Despot as the economy " grows". As to the Abomb ? Yer right. They should NOT have used it. There was a pile of money to be made fighting over there for 10 or more years. I'm sure the RNC views it's use as a huge financial mistake.

Generals (and admirals) are often fighting the last war. In WWI they sent tens of thousands "over the top" to be slaughtered by machine guns. When WWII began they sat behind fixed fortifications assuming they were protected. Why should we believe that they had a clue as to the value of nuclear weapons in ending a war that they were quite ill prepared to win at its start?
Ignoring that question, generals and admirals (and all other officers) gain status through the number of "men at arms" that they command. One nuclear weapon and one plane delivering it equaled an entire bomb wing and many sorties. Of course many officers will be against weapons such as nuclear ones. It lessens their prestige.
Here in Switzerland (bastion of psycho-analysts and -therapists that it is), applying for a job sometimes requires the applicant to submit a hand-written test.
I'd see the point of that kind of test not as much as a test of one's intelligence but more as a test of one's identity as part of a background check.
He's dead, you gimp. What does he give a fuck?
If he cared when writing his last will and testament, then the police will care, and a judge will care, at least until the standard life-plus-70 jail sentence is over.
But will the relatives sue over this possible infringement of the Einstein estate's copyright?
Actually, each of the four allies got a section of Berlin. After the Berlin wall, in effect there was the western part and the Russian part. The military of all the allies were able to pass freely into each other's zones at will. Though, not without occasional pot shots at each other.
Oh, Stalin got about 1/2 of Berlin which always confused me.
Lived in Berlin before the wall came down. Was weird riding the subway through the abandoned subway stops (actually inoperative but staffed with Soviet soldiers).
Heck, did anyone look at those pics.? It looks like they have grease stains all over them. Was Einstein eating pizza when he was writing these pages ;-)
Huh? No, it's not. It's titled "Quantentheorie des einatomigen idealen Gases", and considering that it's written in German, that shouldn't be much of a surprise, either. What you gave above is the translation of the title, not the title itself.

I think it is a mix of both: most letters are Latin (script) but some are Sütterlin.
For example, his small type 'z' and the capital 'E' look like Sütterlin.
I think it was quite common to use a mix of both at that time;
I looked into an inherited "Poesiealbum"(*) from that time and it contained very different writing styles:
Completely Sütterlin, completly Latin and very often mixtures of both - some very similar to Einstein's (using Sütterlin 'z' and 'E').

Anyone who second guesses the response of a nation that has been freaked out by a sneak attack of a major military power, has no clue what war is about.
For all the people blaming us for dropping the bomb on their manufacturing and shipping centers, all I have to say is this... Had they not attacked us, that would have never happened. Let sleeping dogs lie.
Total victory, no matter the costs, no matter the war crimes committed in pursuing it, relying on the ability of the victors to rewrite history, are what make many of the actions of our own leaders indistinguishable from those they love to demonize.
Become the enemy to beat them. Yet those who pursue these goals can't figure out why some Americans might oppose them.
In his 1965 study, Atomic Diplomacy: Hiroshima and Potsdam (pp. 107, 108), historian Gar Alperovitz writes:
...
/shrug
Although Japanese peace feelers had been sent out as early as September 1944 (and [China's] Chiang Kai-shek had been approached regarding surrender possibilities in December 1944), the real effort to end the war began in the spring of 1945. This effort stressed the role of the Soviet Union
In mid-April [1945] the [US] Joint Intelligence Committee reported that Japanese leaders were looking for a way to modify the surrender terms to end the war. The State Department was convinced the Emperor was actively seeking a way to stop the fighting.
-
I figured this was pretty common knowledge today. Google will bring up plenty of information on it. Even the history channel has had shows which mention it.
It was known by American decision makers that the Japanese were looking to arrange terms of surrender. I think it's pretty easy to speculate why they would go ahead regardless...

In this manuscript, Einstein definitively proves that if he was to get hitched with Marilyn Monroe, their offspring would have his looks and her brains.
I won't go into a long boring defense or discussion of ethics or history, but I stand by my statement, especially in the context of the thread.
If a nation *must* go to war, they must intend to win, and decisively. Assuming that war is of necessity to said nation's survival, it is safe to assume that circumstances may become such that victory by 'ethical' means becomes at worst, impossible, or at best, empty.
Try these three statements out:
1. We've lost and my family is being sent to the prison camps, but at least we fought fair.
2. We've won but everyone on both sides is dead and our resources are totally spent, but at least we fought fair.
3. We've just used the most terrible weapon built by man to kill 100,000 civilians, but at least the war is over now and *my* family will live in peace.
You may feel free to interpolate my commentary into some pre-concieved world view applied to current events and political positions. People like you have that luxury in America.

backward people (terrorists) still fight the war of the worlds with conventional means - bombs, suicides, etc. Modern warfare is computer and finance based. You can bring a country to her knees just by giving credits (numbers on computers, no real value) and demanding interest back. South America is an example. Russia's default is another.
So, yes WTC employees are enemy combatants in the new war whose means are not yet outlawed.
I am a white male from North America and do wish those bombers burn in hell. But looking at a bigger picture makes me less sure of the innocence of my side.
