“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning”
Albert Einstein

[samueltso]

I had heard briefly about Einstein in my teenager time but didn't know much about why he was such famous. As a physics student, I came to know more about him and the weight of his theories when I studied Special Relativity in my Year 3 in the University. I was so amazed by the simplicity of the formulas but even more amazed by the concepts behind which led to the theory and the formulas. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to study General Relativity during my undergrad study as the degree course didn't include which I somehow regretted because I immediately started to work after graduation. I have read and watched many documentaries about Albert Einstein, but I found that this documentary is very impressive and gives a clear recap of his life and theories. So, thank you very much, The People Profiles for the production of this documentary.

I feel privileged to comment . I did my degree in Philosophy and the first thing we were taught was how to think. Such a joy.

[ruslanibragimov]

This is so well done. Just stumbled upon your channel a couple of days ago and absolutely love it. Thanks so much.

Truth is Einstein should have been awarded at least 3 Nobels in physics (PE effect, SR & GR), and maybe the Nobel in peace as well.

[litltoosee]

Einstein was a curious fellow that asked profoundly simple questions that led to profoundly impactful answers.

[rubycelica]

thank you a LOT for (again) making such a great informative video, i really appreciate your work (and i like your voice and narrating style, that's not usually the case:)

The humbleness and character that’s portrayed 🫶

[SarmadMrSwag]

For anyone interested, there is a show called Genius and the 1st season is all about Albert Einstein’s life. It’s a fantastic show with great actors. You can see his passion for physics come to life through day to day regular activities.

I happen to have a degree in Physics, from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. One thing I learned during my four years at RPI was that I did not have the kind of intelligence to become a true theoretical Physicist. Another this I developed was an answer to a frequently asked question: "Do you understand The response I usually give to such questions runs along the following lines: Scientists, and particularly don't "understand" anything. What progress that has been made in the field has been in the nature of developing a description of observed phenomena -- usually in terms of some sort of mathematical analysis or model. That seems to have some power to not only describe those observations, but to predict others that have heretofore gone unobserved. For example, of the five fundamental forces that seem to characterize the universe (The Strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, magnetism, the electrical force, and gravity, much remains mysterious. Why, for example, do both magnetism and the electrostatic force have "Opposites" which attract, and "Similar" quantities, which repel. Why is gravity so much weaker than the other forces, by factors of billions or more? At one time, it was hoped that so-called "string theory" might provide some answers, but progress has not been forthcoming.

There is always, of course that "hope that springs eternal." It may have taken 250 years, but at last a proof has been found for Fermat's Last Theorem, with the Collatz Conjecture still on hold.

This was an excellent video, well worth watching by anyone!

[kateegeof]

It is interesting to know more about this genius. The capacity to understand sciences at early stages of his life, his 4 thesis in 1905 and the desire to understand why things happen the way they do. Accordingly, he must be one of the key persons who changed the scientific realm in the world.

[RootlessNZ]

Brilliant exposition and presentation. Thank you.

This was clearly a massive undertaking to put together such timeline of facts of Albert Einstein’s life. It clearly reflects his humble self-nature in spite of his intelligence that many men in his field tend to be influenced by their own ego and end up influencing their work due to their own arrogance/ignorance that becomes accustomed to humans as the grow more intelligent. The key to remember from this documentary is that Einstein did not know everything and admitted to his very own blunders in his research, something that Edward Hubble helped in recognizing that the universe isn’t static by any means. I am thrilled at the fact that Einstein embraced science over War, as he immediately denounced political fascism and manipulation that spread like a wildfire during the 1920s-30s. However, what stumps me is that Einstein never had any correspondence nor research with inventor Thomas Edison, a man known today to have had heavy influence of ignorance/arrogance in all of his research and many other inventors/engineers of the time found difficult to work with. The fact that Einstein managed to keep an open mind throughout his research and never became a political figure regardless of his fame and intellect should be embraced and researched within itself for future generations to be able to determine facts based on their own research vs. propaganda. Clearly Einstein never fell for propaganda nor influenced by fascism.

Was there any evidence that Einstein said anything about Thomas Edison’s work and what he thought of his work on electricity and Electrical engineering? IMO, it seems to have some possible relative ties to each other when one thinks of the rules of relativity and how this may affect AC/DC or energy currents based on space/time and gravity. Could the equations by Stephen Hawking’s and Einstein along with Tesla’s and Eddiison’s work on AC/DC provide safeguards to manipulating energy created in black holes/Event Horizon’s help provide the basis for achieving Nuclear Fusion safely? In the future, It would benefit mankind to find relative ties to engineering, physics, and quantum physics considering gravity is not constant on other planets, therefore it would support further research if we are find a way to creating an atmosphere on other planets.

By all means...the greatest mind of the 20th century

[gangster]

Each of his 1905 papers merited a Nobel prize for physics. Truly an astounding genius

[michaelhall]

Along with Carl Sagan and Jacques Cousteau, one of my heroes. Not just for his brilliant work, but for his humanity and essential decency.

[julianxe]

Absolutely excellent well-done video! I love biographies about important people who influenced the world we live today. Keep them coming! Thank you :)

[lystentome]

Incredibly gifted mind….. it’s as though he could see Atoms without a microscope and describe in written words. May his soul Rest In Peace.

[bibiayube]

The were a lot of scientists who helped us advance our understanding of the natural world but this genius is in a league of his own
