Please make a video about John von Neumann. He was one of the smartest scientists of the 20th century in terms of raw intelligence. He was a polymath with a photographic memory who, at six years old, could divide two eight-digit numbers in his head and converse in Ancient Greek.

Geniuses of his era called him a genius. For example, George Dantzig, who accidentally solved two famous unsolved problems in statistics because he was late to class and thought they were homework. The story of von Neumann's genius goes like this: When George Dantzig brought von Neumann an unsolved problem in linear programming "as I would to an ordinary mortal", on which there had been no published literature, he was astonished when von Neumann said "Oh, that!", before offhandedly giving a lecture of over an hour, explaining how to solve the problem using the hitherto unconceived theory of duality.

Couldn't get ??? Do you really believe that ??? I believe that the true behind of this is that , he was thinking that he is a genius ,that why deep inside hem was a type of pride , who did not allow hem to work for others , when all he wish it was that others to wark for his self . He was maybe little bit lasy also ,that why he was not very good at school too . But being lasy or become accidentally a genius is not the same think . We have in the ward a lot of genius inventers who was at school not very good a lot . But no one want to make them fill like genius, not even after death . Just enter on Google search and type Romanian inventors to see what they invented , than after that ask your self , why no one even mention their names , what may be the differences.

It is a question for the collective West because it is about ignoring. Fortunately, Einstein's archives are still mostly located in the East, in Israel. In his early stage he was on good terms with the Serbian community through his first wife. You probably never heard that he got the idea for Str during a visit to Serbia and the Balkans. You should keep in mind that the United States met him for the first time only after his emigration and when he gained media attention from the national media there. The relations between Serbia and Germany at the beginning of the 20th century were better than the relations between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.

The elevator animation is wrong. It shows the elevator moving with constant speed after a brief initial acceleration-that is, a real-life elevator. Whereas Einstein-clearly not an engineer-imagined elevators that were constantly accelerating, whether moving upward or downward.

Don’t dismiss Mileva Maric’s contribution to Einstein’s work so easily. She did much more than type up his papers! The very fact she was the only woman classmate showed the extent to which she was valued in her own right. After marriage they had at least two more children but she suffered from severe post partum depression. I disagree that Mileva was ugly. After Einstein grew tired of her illness he left and married his first cousin. I would never call his cousin ugly, but her picture is readily available.

I believe there is somewhat an error in the "Einstein's Nine-Year Struggle to Find a Job" video. In 1905 Einstein published four, not five papers. The video says that there were two concerning molecules. (Wikipedia agrees with the "four" papers.) There was one paper covering molecules/atoms/Brownian motion and his doctoral thesis, which isn't always considered "a paper" and also had a significant error. It was also his second attempt, his first being in 1901, so it wasn't necessarily novel. His 1905 doctoral thesis is usually not included because there was an error in his calculations that was later corrected after experimentation showed that his value was likely incorrect. Years later a student provided a fix. It was also likely a revision and extension of his 1901 work. Einstein had another doctoral thesis in 1901 which was rejected/withdrawn, also concerning the kinetic theory of gasses, but that paper is lost to history.
I love you’re videos, i really love these things but i couldn’t find any good explanation about it. But you do it just perfectly that even a 10 year old can understand😊

Wonderful video, wonderful informations. I've learned a lot about him here. Just a little correction tho: 19:04 the other ball assumes "opposite colour" and not the same
One thing I recall reading in Einstein's English version of "Relativity: the Special and General Theory" was a comment he made about children. He recalled that every school child (German) knew the speed of light. When I read that I thought the education system he grew up with was different than mine. I don't recall ever learning about the speed of light in elementary school and not until much later. If I heard it, I don't recall hearing it and it would only have been mentioned in passing. Whatever shortcomings Einstein attributed to German education, they were able to make some significant contributions to scientific thought and technological development and still do today. That isn't to say I didn't like my American education, I would like to have had both.

I was born in 1970 and my father told me about E=mc2 when I was only 7. I was fascinated by this and then looked up the speed of light in an encyclopedia. Then of course facts like light taking roughly 11 minutes to travel from the sun to earth ect. learning things like this early can really open you mind.

Actually, the Copenhagen interpretation of QM states that the apparent randomness observed may or may not be ontological and could instead be merely epistemic. So Einstein's objection is actually compatible with this interpretation.
Please make a video on Dr. Satyendra Nath Bose as he was father of Quantum Statistics.
A testament to the complexity of the human mind, and the ridiculousness of the modern educational system.
Well, the Einstein-Szilard letter from August 1939 didn't cause much action in the US. The immediate consequences were a relatively small research program. In fact, it was the Frisch-Peierls memorandum from March 1940 (which in historical review already contained the schematic of a blueprint for the gun-type design of the atomic bomb) which led to the activity of the MAUD committee and the Tube Alloys project in the UK later on, way before the start of the Manhattan project. And it was Mark Oliphant (a guy from Australia, who was a member of the MAUD committee and who then primarily worked on the new RADAR technology, and who finally got lucky to have Rudolf Peierls sitting nearby in the same building (who could solve one or two difficult problems for Oliphant - despite the fact that Peierls and Frisch didn't posses security clearance at that time ;-)) visiting the US in August 1941 who reminded the scientific community in the US about the existence of the MAUD committee report. That report had been sent to the US before, but Lyman Briggs (director of the US Uranium Committee) had put that report into his safe. And had not shown it to any member of his own committee. There was meeting then on 26th of August 194 with Mark Oliphant and the Uranium Committee to discuss the issue. Finally, Oliphant met with his friend Ernest Lawrence on September 23th in Berkeley, where Lawrence did receive a copy of the Frisch-Peierls memorandum. And Lawrence then informed Robert Oppenheimer to check the figures. But this it not the end of the story. Mark Oliphant convinced Ernest Lawrence to convert his 37-inch cyclotron into a giant mass spectrometer for electromagnetic isotope separation. So, in the end, it was some guy from Australia and not the the (first) Einstein-Szilard letter who caused the action. IMHO, that famous Einstein-Szilard letter gets a little bit too much attention. Probably because of the name of Albert Einstein in it. ;-)

I've heard of several different explanations of Einstein's Theory of Relativity since a very long time now without ever understanding it at all. Today, I heard you make a key comment in your explanation of the Einstein's free fall and accelerating upward elevator scenario that both gravity and acceleration are one and the same thing. Though I've known this concept for a long time now ever since having studied about it in high school, the fact that this leads to the explanation of Einstein's theory of Relativity is a revelation for me in its own. Now all that remains is to learn the math used for describing acceleration in curved geometric spaces and then I should be able to understand the theory that has evaded my comprehension for 25 years already now. Thank you very much for providing this insight.

It should be noted, Einstein was fundamental in creating and, by his skepticism, shaping Quantum Mechanics. Plus he also used a statistical approach, just that he felt the future would find a more precise method, which has been fundamentally disabused as a notion. (IOW, his hope was a wrong gut feeling). Yet his contributions still rock quantum physics today, ie his proposed thought experiment proving causality or not. He felt it would prove causality, and it ultimately proved the opposite, a proof that HE provided the original concept as part author.
Special relativity can describe acceleration. You just take the second derivative w.r.t. to the time in the inertial frame.
Thank you.
Great video on Einstein.
These videos are real treasures. They are reminders in this current era of ignorance and divisiveness that critical and scientific thinking still matter. Please keep them up.
Thank you! Very interesting!🌱
There's a lot of interesting commentary about Einstein's personal life in this documentary, but there's a number of misstatements when covering the physics. For example, Einstein didn't discover the photoelectric effect. It was first seen experimentally almost a century earlier but couldn't be understood theoretically in terms of the widely accepted Maxwell's formulations of electromagnetic radiation. Einstein applied Planck's still debated theory of light quanta to come up with his brilliant theoretical explanation.
So he did find the field equation at this death bed, but the nurse didnt understood german 😮

If he did, it would have been in the equations they found next to him.
10:28 This is not really what relativity of simultaneity is. What's described in the video is merely a difference in _visual observation._ Also sound behaves that way. But relativity of simultaneity in Einstein's theory is about an effect that persists even _after_ the purely visual effects are subtracted out. (Meaning, the effects due just to the finite speed of signal propagation.)
His First wife was the mathematical genius…..she taught him and developed the time concept during a train ride, which she shared with him…

Great video and great explanations.
This is a wonderfully rich biographical video about Einstein that tells the stories behind his stellar achievements that were replete with more than his fair share of personal travails. I found it interesting and motivational that Einstien often found himself in a dead end in pursuit of a theory, and that he found solace and renewed purpose in the simple act of playing Mozart melodies on his violin. What we see is an imperfect man attempting to make sense of an imperfect world but with an abiding faith that there is a hidden order to everything. One thing I'd like to point out is Einstein, himself, did not write the letter to Roossevelt, Leo Szilard wrote the letter with the foresight that Einstein's signature at the bottom ensured it would get Roosevelt's attention. After some armtwisting Einstein finally agreed, and Edward Teller brought the letter to Einstein to sign changing the coarse of history in an incredibly profound way.
I'm not unemployed, I simply have a "present lack of position".
When it comes to the Bomb, Einstein wrote the letter, but it was at the request of Leo Szilard. See Kevles.
Einstein actually thought of a person falling from a building…that was the happiest thought of his life.

That person he imagined must be the professor.
He may not have come up with those theories if he was busy at a work place .so his joblessness, at the time,was a kind of blessing to mankind.
Starting to think Einstein may have gotten some of his ideas from sitting all day reading all those patents at the Patent office. And he was almost definitely on the ASD spectrum.

19:53 19:56 Two photos, can you identify the other people? Note the signature on the chest of the man to his right in one of the photos, but it's hard to make out.
Great summation of Einstein's life and work.
You do not need to be moving to experience assimultaniety of simultaneous events. Movement is irrelevant.
The analysis of people education performance shows lack of awareness. The grade is an inner product of the student and the curriculum. After college before graduation I asked to be tested for dyslexia because I had to fill out job applications and do secretary crap and that wouldn't reflect my ability in math and engineering. The psychiatrist said "why if you're graduating?" It's because I failed a copying exam on the high school aptitude tests but got basically a perfect score on the visual spatial portion. In college I could do the analysis super fast but then I have to take my time writing it out. I can flip things around in my head easily. But if I have to copy things from one page to another and fill out bubbles I can imagine seeing things that aren't there. If you're imagining orthogonal projections it's a good thing. If you're copying things quickly it's a bad thing. I was in the 99th percentile for visual spatial and the 0 for copying. You don't know why he got his scores. Additionally he couldn't find a job because he was working. That's a another issue. work is not linear. It's periodic. Breakthroughs in physics and math are periodic. Even when you are learning you don't know when you're going to figure out a problem. You have to keep working without thinking about the consequence. that's real life. that's how life works. He learned how to walk and speak at a later age. The psychiatrist and the schools don't understand. Stupid people are the ones who try to play human resources anyway. In engineering there is always the person that I hate that tries to get in your group and wants to edit the paper, or do meeting minutes, and it's always the stupidest person who sucks at the actual math and physics. Or they want to be the leader because they have leadership skills. they'll do the hard work of shooting the boeing whistle blower engineer. I think the schools are set up fro cheaters. As long as there has been physics and math there have been physics and math cheaters. Cheating at science is older than science.
Super presentation. And no glaring errors, while explaining simply for the public.

I know this video is to embellish and glorify A. Einstein for his extraordinary achievements in maths and physics, but there was a hiatus in his trajectory as a human being when he wrote a letter of conditions to Mileva. The letter was of extreme disdain towards her and his children. Meaning that we are 2 sides of a coin, stupid at times.
