Neither one fit into the Aryan utopia that was the ideal at the end of the great struggle that the Nazis were waging to make the world “pure”. But like the Japanese, who were hardly perfect Nordics, those Arabs who were opposed to the Zionists and the British would have been treated as “honorary Aryans” … Read more
Hitler greatly admired the English Colonial Empire & was inspired enough by it to make it a model of his proposed vassal State in Eurasia. Here, swathes of the population would be systematically turned to servility with brutal oppression & total eradication of their intellectual lot. Their first, second & last concern would be the … Read more
Albert Einstein’s contributions to physics are a staggering testament to his unparalleled genius. The Theory of the Photoelectric Effect, the theory of Brownian motion, the Special Theory of Relativity, the General Theory of Relativity, and the concept of EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox) are foundational pillars of modern physics. To conceive such a diverse and profound array … Read more
What did Einstein think of Hitler? Albert Einstein’s departure from Germany in 1933, along with his renunciation of citizenship, was a direct response to the rise of the new Nazi government. Though I haven’t specifically perused Einstein’s writings about Hitler, in my collection, I possess some of his correspondences with the Prussian Academy of Sciences. … Read more
Certainly. Albert Einstein’s romantic life was characterized by a notorious inability to remain faithful to one woman. He had a profound weakness for female beauty, openly acknowledging its allure—illustrated by his famous analogy of relativity, comparing an hour spent with a captivating woman to feeling shorter than a minute with one’s hand on a hot … Read more
Indeed, Adolf Hitler was cognizant of Albert Einstein’s prominence during the early 20th century. Einstein’s revolutionary work in physics, notably his theory of relativity, garnered widespread international attention and acclaim, elevating him to a figure of global renown beyond academic circles. However, their relationship was markedly defined by starkly contrasting perspectives and ideologies. Hitler, as … Read more
Let’s take a step back and delve into the topic of IQ heritability, particularly concerning exceptionally intelligent individuals. IQ, a measure of intelligence, exhibits high heritability, predominantly driven by genetic factors ranging from 50% to potentially over 70%, with some estimates even suggesting figures as high as 90%. However, when examining extraordinarily intelligent individuals, several … Read more
not revealed until 1978. The brain of physicist Albert Einstein has been the subject of much research and speculation. Einstein’s brain was removed within seven and a half hours of his death. The brain has attracted attention because of Einstein’s reputation as one of the foremost geniuses of the 20th century, and apparent regularities or … Read more
We have no lack of geniuses. An approximate figure is the 0.32% of the population with IQs above 140. That’s 22.3 million out of 7 billion. The problem is, that the breakthroughs you are looking for require much more than a genius. Breakthroughs require genius PLUS opportunity PLUS aptitude PLUS the right problem at the … Read more
Ed Witten stands as a towering figure in the realm of physics and mathematics, a polymath whose contributions transcend boundaries. Renowned for his expertise in string theory, quantum gravity, supersymmetry, and various facets of mathematical physics, Witten’s impact extends far beyond his field. His scholarly achievements are underscored by the prestigious Fields Medal he received … Read more
