University Makes 80,000 Einstein Documents Publicly Available
orgelspieler writes "The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has scanned in some 80,000 of Albert Einstein's documents. According to the university's press release, the documents cover more than just scientific matters. The broad range of subjects include his solution to the Jewish-Arab conflict, a postcard to his mother, and a letter from one of his mistresses asking for assistance getting to America. Some documents have been translated and annotated and are completely searchable."
Yeah, I had to re-read that part a couple of times. One of his mistresses? Implying that he had several?
Well, the exact number depends on your frame of reference.

Good lord, do you mean to tell me that his mistresses gained mass the faster he went with them?
I can't help but think that this is wonderful that the Hebrew University of Jerusalem went out and did this. I am sure that they are riding the good PR wave and all, but it is a wonderful thing to have someone in this day and age find funds to make something and give it away for free. Truly wonderful.

There was a story I'd heard of Einstein years ago (who knows if it's true) , wherein after talking a while with a student on campus, he asked the student, "Tell me; where was I walking from when we met?" The student pointed toward the dining commons; Einstein smiled and said, "Ah, good, I ate lunch then."

I'm starting to form an alternative theory about why Einstein gets more tail than you do.
It's possible the article may shed some light on this.
"Albert Einstein was a founder of the Hebrew University and one of its most loyal supporters. In his will he bequeathed all of his writings and intellectual heritage to the Hebrew University, including the rights to the use of his image."
i searched through and not once, not even once, does he mention linux.
As an atheist, a resident of Jerusalem and a student of an institution that's part of the Hebrew University campus I find it hard to imagine what kind of misapprehension of Israel and its academic institutions you might have to make that kind of comment.
Teaspoonful is volume. If that were neutron star material...
[A neutron star is so dense that one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of its material would have a mass over 5.5×10^12 kg, about 900 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza.]
...the future crusty old bastards are already drinking the Kool-Aid.
Hebrew University is a secular insitution.
