Talk:Albert Einstein

Einstein really did say that about Lenin: a reliable source

On the claim that the sources cannot be trusted: if one is to search this passage on google books, you will find a lot of books citing it. Including, "Einstein on Politics: His Private Thoughts and Public Stands on Nationalism...", written by the historian David E. Rowe:

https://books.google.com.br/books?id=_X1dAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA413&dq=Einstein+on+Politics:+His+Private+Thoughts+Lenin&hl=pt-BR&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjC5_G49PLrAhX7KrkGHfGwAJcQ6AEwAHoECAYQAg#v=onepage&q=Einstein%20on%20Politics%3A%20His%20Private%20Thoughts%20Lenin&f=false (it is on page 413)

It is clear Einstein really did say this. If you have any other historian claiming Einstein never said this and that David E. Rowe was wrong, then discuss it on the talk page. Otherwise, there is no reason to keep Einstein's opinon of Lenin out of the page. Seekallknowledge (talk) 14:37, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Image

@DVdm: I think the image in the infobox should be changed to this one because this image is one of the more well-known images of Einstein just like how in the article Earth, the blue marble is used because its a well known image of it. Interstellarity (talk) 14:03, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

I personally prefer the current image, and I think the de-facto consensus is to keep it. Comments from others are always welcome. - DVdm (talk) 15:29, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

I also prefer the current image. It shows how Einstein looked at the height of his scientific career. —teb728 t c 09:21, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Personal life of Albert Einstein

Would it be possible to create/suggest a link to the Wikipedia article "Jost Winteler" the professor in whose house Einstein lived whilst completing his schooling, with whose daughter Marie he was in love and with whom he maintained a friendly relationship for many years. This article has a lot of information about Einstein's life; possibly more than about Winteler himself! Thank you and best wishes,

The section, 1.9.3 Einstein and Religion, paints the beliefs of Einstein to much in the direction of atheism.

A closer inspection of his beliefs reveals that Einstein admired the beauty and symmetry of the laws of nature and his feeling that it has a higher meaning. There are many quotes by Einstein revealing this view, but perhaps his spirituality is best exemplified by the following quote from Jammer’s book:

“Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe – a spirit vastly superior to that of man.”

 Not done: Given that the section includes the quote "I am not an atheist", I'm not convinced it goes too much in the direction of atheism. I think it's better to keep the quote you've provided in its broader context at Religious and philosophical views of Albert Einstein. Adrian J. Hunter^{(talk•contribs)} 14:05, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Einstein's PhD specialty

This is not intended as an edit but as a suggestion to the article's author(s). Please include Einstein's PhD field in those areas dealing with his education. For example, PhD Physics, or Math, etc. Thank you.38.124.147.11 (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
