The house in which Einstein lived is at Lesnická 7, Smichov, Praha 5

Valery or Valerie, please correct me, I know I said the video you made of "THE BUTCHER OF PRAGUE" was my favorite at the time, well this one just beat it. I am a history nerd and found this video FASCINATING. The Academic world would be so improved with your skill if you became a lecturer. You are gifted.

Valerie, you and Real Prague Guides are awesome. Thank you for all the cultural history. One item overlooked are all the affordable classical music venues. When I traveled to Vienna I could only afford one classical music event, but when I came to your fabulous city of Prague I attended 4 events during my 5 day stay. I love all music, but classical music is so balanced and measured and plentiful in Prague. Mozart's Don Giovanni was performed by Mozart in the Estates Theater and other wonderful venues include the Municipal House (fabulous Art Nouveau architecture), and both the Tyn Church and St. Nicholas Church in the Old Town Square. I recall a strings performance of Ave Maria at the Tyn Church that moved me to tears. When you run out of the obvious Prague historical events, please consider a vlog on the great musical events/venues in your beautiful city. Thank you as always for all you do!

Thank you Joe, definitely will try to make a video about either Mozart or classical music and Prague in general. Right not we have too many videos lined up in our ideas list 😅

Excellent! I read a very thorough Einstein biography and his time in Prague was well documented, Einstein: His Life and Universe - by Walter Isaacson, one of the greatest biographers of our time, his latest work is about Leonardo Da Vinci, he definitely was never in Prague.

Einstein won the Nobel prize in 1921 for the photo electric effect. I will visit this district the next time I am in Prague. Valarie, have you heard of Patrícia Janečková, the reason I visit Czech Rep so often?

I was in Prague a week ago and hoped to see you. Your videos helped a lot on what to see and what I was seeing. It was nice seeing Prague without all the crowds Thanks

I'm falling in love with Prague.

Thank you, that was wonderful to see those beautiful places and to hear those amusing episodes from Einstein's life. His sense of humour really shines out from this light-hearted video.

Best channel to seek information about Prague. Keep up the good work 👍🏼 I also visited that place after watching your Smichov video 😎

Great info thanks for posting.

It was a wonderful and informative video. Never knew these stories from his biography. Thanks for educating us :)

A really beautiful video - thank you ❤

You explained everything very nicely 😃👍

Beautiful video. Really love to watch your videos everytime. You are doing great job. Please keep it up and help us to learn from the contents of your vlogs. Please take care, Stay safe and blessed always. 😀😀😃👍

Love love love Faust House ... gorgeous building ...wish could have visited the interior. The Church of St John of Nepomuk On The Rock , just around the corner is quite unique too. Few tourists can be found in this area of Prague.

U r a beautiful clever lady 🤠 thanks for the video

I could follow you around all day.

Einstein also won Prague open Darts championship in 1912 many of his sports achievements were overlooked because of government grants.

Valerie I really enjoy your presentations. Mozart visited Prague so I was wondering if there's a Mozart-themed tour available?

So much to see in 4 days! I ll try my best…

I'm now in Novi Sad, in the region of Vojvodina in Serbia. Einstein also lived here for a short while, because his wife Mileva was from a nearby village. This was also part of Austria-Hungary back then, but a really dusty provincial town. His son was baptized in a church here. And the percentage of Germans was significantly higher in Novi Sad then, I guess around 40%. And he probably hated being here (not because of the Germans).

Nice to see you with my idol... yes with ... Albertie.

Nice🤓

Thanks for sharing this, it is really interesting. You've mentioned that Einstein was a friend of Rudolf Steiner, who was also a friend of Dr. Alois Adolf Riehl (my ancestor). Einstein and Riehl worked at the Humboldt Universität (Berlin), along with Max Planck. They interacted quite often, as Einstein and Planck discussed with Riehl (who was a philosopher) the philosophical aspects of the theories they were developing.

@@stanbrekston Thanks for your message. I keep thinking the same thing, especially when considering that the university where he worked has won 49 Nobel Prizes. By the time my ancestor was working there, great minds were sharing the same environment. I have some documents mentioning that Riehl's students were interacting with Einstein's and Planck's. I keep searching for new documents, so let's see what else it can be found.

Cool

Fact: most people don't know this, but the great Albert Einstein was also a member of the NAACP. another excellent video. can you also do videos of famous Europeans, their birthplaces, schools, where they lived, etc? Gustav Mahler, Leon Trotsky, Sigmund Freud, Stalin, Musolinni, hitler, Franz Josef, Franz Ferdinand, Gavrilo Princip, etc, etc, etc. I think that would be very interesting.

Oh, I miss Valery's iconic "Bye!" in the end. Excellent content though!

Excellent video Valerie, as always. Just one correction, to avoid potentially misleading hype: In Prague, Einstein established some basic ideas of his _General Theory of Relativity_ , while his _Special Theory of Relativity_ had been completed earlier (1905-1910 in Bern and Zürich). Well, Einstein did not receive his Nobel price in 1921 for creating the theory of relativity (as often expected), but "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".

hi, thanks for your comment! I’m not a physicist, but from the basic research for this video, I’ve just gathered that these two theories are pretty different. Even though one theory essentially “sprouted” from the other, it did not occur to me to specify it in the video, and, frankly, I don’t think I’m the right person to explain these things :)

@@RealPragueGuides Hello Valery, and thank you for your kind reply. As a physicist and historian of physics, I do appreciate your very nice walk motivated by this interesting period of Einstein's life. And I also agree that discussing the rather delicate relationship between _special_ and _general_ theories of relativity is somewhat beyond the scope of this video. I wish you (not only) to make many more such interesting videos!

Einstein's craziest and most revolutionary idea by far was that gravity is not a standalone force, but a distortion in the fabric of spacetime. I guess this early idea on the general theory of relativity was conceived in Prague as returning to Zurich in 1912 he started working with Marcel Grossmann on the tensor calculus needed for adequately describing the curvature of spacetime and they published the first somewhat preliminary article on gravity in 1913. So it is fair to say without any hype that his most revolutionary idea was actually born during his stay in Prague.

Now this is becoming serious now. I cant wait to go to Czech

Hi, I am looking into coming to Prague next year probably around this time for about 4 days. Now I have been back in about 1997/8 but my wife hasn’t and always wanted to go. If I wanted to do a tour with you or your company who do I speak to and what tours do you do, costs etc? I love your videos and learned a lot about Prague that I didn’t know before.

At the highest levels of Physics and Math, they are indistinguishable. I took Physics 4: Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in college. I don't remember much of that class. I think my mind quarantine memories of the class to protect my sanity. I would mind sitting at the cafe or the overlook and pretend I understand Relativity.

Have a friend who was asked to walk Einstein home here in the US, he said he looked up in the University lobby & a guy in pajamas slippers & a bath robe stood there. So later in life he was so lost in his thoughts he could not find his way home.

Photoelectric Effect!

How do you keep so much in your head 🙄❤️

He liked walking everywhere? he would have hates Los Angeles. (You had a comment about You Tube comment sections. I gave you proof of your assertion!)

A poem for Valerie: I am crushed! I had dreams of bringing Valerie to America and making her my wife! I see the wedding ring and hope she at least has a happy life.

GORDIN, Michael D. Einstein in Bohemia. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, [2020], ©2020. "In attendance on 24 May were his university assistant Ludwig Hopf, the prominent Prague author Max Brod, and (according to the latter’s diary) Brod’s friends Robert Weltsch and Franz Kafka. The discussion was apparently lively, and Hopf also held forth on the work of psychiatrists Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. Kafka apparently did not say anything in particular. The next day the group reconvened but Kafka stayed home. Such was the fabled meeting between Einstein and Kafka: they likely shook hands and little more. There was no extended discourse on metaphysics and spacetime, no exploration of the fate of the individual in industrial civilization, no debate about aesthetics in music or literature."

Haha i know this is not relevant but like einstein was told-mathematians call me pshysicist and pshysicist call me mathematitian.. For me photographers say im a designer and artist and artists say i am a photographer. Similar life. So i feel like i am not worthy of being any of it and i guess he felt the same

I don't know if Einstein would agree but we need to ban mathematics, & convert to metric.

Einstein was a fool.
