...They cram as much into hourlies as possible," Schutz says. "No one held a gun to Einstein's head. Some people get turned off because they're not fast enough, but [speed] doesn't judge your effort or understanding...
...elevator kiosk first displayed Albert Einstein for three months. George Gershwin followed, keeping with Apple's campaign that features geniuses and iconoclasts of the 20th century. The former eyesore serves as a nice ego-check for those who think that every genius went to Harvard...
...consuming interests in physics and astronomy had led him to the work of Miguel Alcubierre, who suggested in a 1994 paper that the space-time continuum could be modified within the framework of Einstein's theory of general relativity to allow a spaceship to travel faster than light--much like the "warp drives" of science fiction. Serious physicists don't dismiss such theories out of hand, describing them as intriguing thought experiments that could conceivably be proved true in, oh, say, 300 or 400 years...
...world-conquering bit, the more it sounds hard. Far easier just to run a bunch of negative ads about the competition. And unlike them, I have the distinct advantage of not only being in the same building as the voting members but also being alive. I mean, Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill didn't exactly have physiques befitting Men of the Century. How much could Churchill, even at his prime, bench press? Probably not as much as me. I'm just saying...
...bacteria and yeast, to the complexities of the human brain. All this wonderful biological frenzy was unimaginable when I first entered the world of genetics. In 1948, biology was an all too descriptive discipline near the bottom of science's totem pole, with physics at its top. By then Einstein's turn-of-the-century ideas about the interconversion of matter and energy had been transformed into the powers of the atom. If not held in check, the weapons they made possible might well destroy the very fabric of civilized human life. So physicists of the late 1940s were simultaneously...
