    TO CLEAR UP POSSIBLE CONFUSION:
    When Einstein said he wouldn't have lifted a finger, he didn't mean that he agreed with the bomb dropping. What he meant say that if he knew The Axis wasn't going to succeed in creating the bomb he wouldn't have encouraged The Allies to create it.
    Just the way Mr. Bodanis worded it made it a little ambiguous.

      Serah Wint That's why I appose pretentious art. It's lazy and anti creative. It's about believing worth be ause of social steretypes and glamorising instead of real worth. It's the equivalent of religious belief when people say others don't get it. Sure you can apply yourself to art and surrealism, but what's missing is usually a well thought out creative structure.

    To say Einstein wasn't a practical engineer is true but it's kind of analogous to saying, "Michael Jordan wasn't a good shot clock time manager". He was a successful theoretical physicist which is much harder than being any kind of engineer (a point to which those who are both physicists and engineers will readily admit). Engineering is a lower level engagement that one would never devote time to doing if one is engaged in theoretical physics and getting results. In fact, theoretical physics and theoretical mathematics are the highest categories of cognition which can be accomplished by the human mind. Engineering is awesome and, though it often makes more money, it is a lower ranking mental activity when compared to those aforementioned endeavors. No disrespect to engineers - I think some of what certain engineers do is beyond amazing and I also don't mean that every physicist is naturally smarter than every engineer - I simply mean being a physicist is a categorically more difficult task.

      As an engineering student who hopes someday to be an engineer and either a physicist, computer scientist, or maybe (maybe) a mathematician, I agree with what you've said. But the problem your statement is out of content. He didn't mean to make "engineers more superior to physicists" that wasn't he's point at all! he just stated that in order to make a point, which is that building the bomb in itself requires practical knowledge, which is gained by engineers.

    • @reapicus557
      @reapicus557 7 років тому +16

      First, it is far from presumption to call the speaker out on saying, "In 1905...his father thought he was a genius...", given that is in the public record that Hermann Einstein died in October 1902.
      Second, I would not call it presumption to make an inference based and what I have read of Einstein.
      Both his parents railed against him marrying Mileva Maric throughout their courtship. His father only gave his consent on his death bed and then asked Albert to leave him to die after Albert had rushed to Milan to see him. Einstein's father also died before he became successful which is the other half of the speaker's statement that I contest. After going through the humiliation of writing to professors advocating for Einstein, Hermann died soon after Albert only became a low ranking patent clerk. In nothing I have read has a direct quote from the father stating his disappointment, but it is hard not to infer that conclusion.
      This comes from various biographies. I would recommend reading, Einstein - Walter Isaacson.

    • @essennagerry

      reaper557 Still, it is your assumption. I personally would not have assumed that, though I would've clearly seen it as a possible option.
      Plenty of parents don't think of their kids as dissapointments even when they're in a far worse social/proffesional situation. I wouldn't be surprised if Hermann did, but I would be equally unsurprised if he didn't.
      And you did very much word your comment as a statement.

    • @stratovation1474
      @stratovation1474 2 роки тому

      Persistence is part of it. Special relativity and general relativity each took 10 years, as do many groundbreaking theories including work of Newton and Leibniz and Shannon. Breakthroughs are unpredictable. Also, all great minds are often wrong, as Feynman said. One thing about these guys. They had fantastic powers of concentration and were also good at taking breaks. Fascinating subject.

With enough persistence, he could learn to code and invent quantum calculus. Everyone is a genius, champ. Those coal miners in west Virginia are either lazy or not asking the right questions.

      He didn't tell you in the video, but Germany and America both were working on building a Nuclear bomb. Whoever would build it first would win the war. So Einstein had no choice but assist the US in making the bomb. He knew it'd be a terrible thing for humanity and once created, the threat of extinction would always loom large and dark on our heads.
      Turns out, Germany wasn't even close to creating the bomb, they were experimenting with the wrong materials.
      As Einstein got to know this, he said,
      "If I had known, I wouldn't have lifted a finger."

      Yeaa Serah Wintit, wasn't like during the 1910's that only 7% of the women had secondary educated I mean it should be 100% right? Totally unfair compared to the HUUUUUGEE amount men with it I mean a whopping 8% of men had secondary education.... I mean that 1% just proves it. No women were EVERY educated ever before Gloria queefed justice on big daddy's face until big daddy surrendered, and there existed no physicians at all nor physicists before then.......
      But honestly, it's the same reason in EVERY fucking age when it comes to this, it's down to ECONOMICS and PRAGMATISM.
      And just as the media does with the "OMG look girls don't get education world wide", where they will either bluntly ignore that only a minor amount more boys than girls got to school or they will clump together boys and girls and put the number under the banner of helping girls go to school to inflate the numbers and ignore the boys.
      Even in countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia there are more women today that have secondary education. Why you might ask... well because men and even boys are the only one's by law obligated to provide for the family so education is only given as a necessary tool for that of which has been the reason since education among the masses has been possible. But then women who have no obligation gets room to get educated because men must get out to slave for the wage immediately. Many more reasons but that is the basics.
      And the only reason why men took over after the 1920's and especially during the 50's and 60's in western countries was because it was often harsh times economically for many becuase you know World Wars and other stuff happened.
      And more importantly the soldier that were forced to go to War were compensated with free education. And even with this women overtook graduation percentage already during the 70's though mostly like now it was a lot of fluff subjects with no future but still more. Then during the 80's it took over by a lot but also dropped in STEM fields by 20's to today's numbers, "coincidentally" the same time feminist lobbied legislation passed that changed curriculum and well.... apparently women are just lazy when they get pampered.
      Education throughout history hasn't been a privilege except for a tiny few. It was a obligation so as to being able to provide and the boys and men were tasked to do this no matter their own wills or desires sexual dimorphism and pragmatism.
      And regarding Einstein, well yes he was kind of an asshole. He was probably autistic in his focus and desire with patterns and objects instead of the social aspects of life. He liked to be by himself even at home apparently and one of his favourite places were a empty boat near his house.

    Einstein once wrote a little girl is IQ was about 145, which is way above average. I do not believe in IQ over 160 anymore. A psychologist once told me their own IQ test don't go over 160. My mother had her IQ test tested twice when she entered University, because they thought the first time might be wrong. It was in the same numbers around 145. She learn to read and write by age 3 by looking at her older sisters do their homework, but she is not that good in science. So there are different kinds of smarts out there and the traditional IQ test only contains 3 types of intelligence out of eight. SO IQ test say something about a persons intelligence, but not about all the smart people out there. One thing is certain Einstein was very smart and I suggest you all do like me and take it with a grain of salt when you hear someone say their IQ is over 160.

      As long as I know, IQ is calculated by measuring the score of the person compared to the average person of his age. For instance, if a 9 years old kid score 20 correctly while the average kid of her age only scores about 10, her IQ is 200. What you need to notice is that she is NOT smarter than a 30 years old adult who scores 40 and gets an IQ of only 100. It just means that she is mentally more advanced than her peers and that also means that you do NOT get dumber when you score lower in IQ test as you grow up. You just get "relatively" dumber in that case. Also, I agree that IQ only measures 3 out of 8 or 9 intelligence (depend on what sources you have). The thing is that intelligence is a very abstract concept and it can be really tricky to be "measured".

      Maybe dude? I dunno. What I mean is that I am no expert. I still trust the psychologist I spoke with. It makes people look so smart giving those high numbers. But your explanation also makes sense. If you have a standardized test you should not need to take into account the average, but only the difference from the mean (score).
