even einstein for most of his group wasn't an einstein.n had most of his major discoveries theirst 15 years of his career. stephen was aeader, one of the best of his generation, one of the leade of his generation. i don't think we should be trying to qntify that but i think that's a good song description of him and one that he would agree with. >> right. if i'm not mistaken, einstein came up with his energy equals mass times the speed of lightsquared theory at 25. >> yes. that was the consequence, interesting people misunderstand how physics works. you don't sit there and get a brilliant idea tha he equals mc squared and then tell other people and say that make sense. special relatively and that was based on certain principles particular the speed of light is co because that was something that was implied by worng 1860s. investigating that in building a theory of austing newtons law to take into account he developed theory special rotelle one of the consequences when things he discovered lighting of the three is oh, my gosh come his theory

>> he was not another einstein.e would smile when people said that because who wants the power to live up to. it's a pretty high bar. even einstein through most of his career most of his major discoveries in the first ten, 15 years of his career was a leader one of the best of his generation and i don't think we should be trying to quantify that but that is a good solid description of him and one that he would agree with. >> and if i'm not mistaken, einstein came up with his energy equals mass times the speed of light theory at 25. >> yeah, 1905. it's interesting people misunderstand how physics works. you don't sit there and get a brilliant idea and tell other people and they say that makes sense. he developed a theory on special relativity and that was based on certain principles that particularly the speed of light is constant because that is something that was an implied from the 1860s and then building a theory adjusting newton's laws to take into account the theory of special relativity and one of the conseque

was he another einstein? >> he was not another einstein. he was and rolled his eyes and smiled when people said that because he knew and who wants to have that bar to live up to because that's a hard -- high bar. most of his career was not like einstein but einstein had most of his major discoveries in the first 15 years of his career. stephen was a leader, one of the best of his generation and i don't think we should be trying to quantify that but that is a good solid description of him and one you would agree with. >> right. if i'm not mistaken einstein came up with his energy equals mass times the speed of light squared theory at 25 spirit yet, in 1905. you know, it's interesting because people misunderstand how physics works. don't sit there and get a brilliant idea that he is equal to mc squared until other people and they say that makes squared but he developed the theory called special relatively in one of those were based on certain principles that particular the speed of light because that was something implied by maxwell's work in

even einstein through most of his career wasn't an einstein.instein had most of his major discoveries that's the first 10-- first 15, 15 years of his career. >> right. >> stephen was a leader, one of the best of his generation, one of the leaders in the generation and i don't think we should be trying to quantify that, but. >> right. >> i think that's a good solid description of him and one that he would have agreed with. >> right, and if i'm not mistaken, even stein came up with his energy equals mass times the speed of light squared theory at 25. >> yeah, 1905, as a consequence, it's interesting, people misunderstand how physics works. you don't sit there and tell people, oh, yeah, that makes that. he developed the theory called special relativity and that was based on certain principles that procedurally the speed of light, that was something implied by maxwell's work in the 1860's and investigating that and building a theory of adjusting newton's laws to he developed the special relativity and one of the consequences that he discovered as h

was he another einstein? >> he was another einstein.is eyes and smiled people said that. he knew who was to have that bar to live up to. it's a pretty high-power bar. had most of his major discoveries the first ten, 15 years of his career. he was a leader, one of the best in his generation. one of the leaders of his generation. i don't think we should try to quantify that. they got a good solid description of him and when you would agree with. >> if i'm not mistaken einstein came up with his energy equals mass times the speed of light squared theory at 25. back yes 1905. people misunderstand how physics work. you get a brilliant idea and it squared. and tells the people in its aoe apparatus or the theory of relative, it was based on certain principles that is particular the speed of light is constant. that is something that was implied by maxwell's work in the 1860s. in investigating that and building a theory on adjusting newton's laws to take that into account to develop a theory of relativity. and where the consequences of one of the

i tell the book of edison's famous expedition in 1919, establishing einstein's theory of relativity. three telescopes making observation, one of them agrees with newton better than einstein, that something went wrong with it. certainly nothing like it, that is the way it is generally with science, tremendous disagreements, the evidence that can be trusted, great disagreement about what theories to believe that doesn't matter as long as scientists go on producing the right evidence. eventually -- as it did with relativity theory, einstein proved to be more on the right track than newton, what we find, convernce of opinion. >> that leads to audience question. think about early discoveri, the thought process, h might the application of modern science haveffected those discoveries, part of the book where you talk about the idea of the water was the essence of everything, no, air, no, fire, how might modern scientific theory have affected those scientific arguments? >> those early arguments in many ways were wonderful. they throw around these ideas and another character if i am not mistak

einstein said to eleanor roosevelt, your government has erected a wall of bureaucratic measures to keep immigrants out. can't you do something about this? this paper wall, this is our kind of take on this paper wall. what do you see here is items from the museums collection. ship tickets, passports, letters of sponsorship from refugee organizations, affidavits of americans guaranteeing their support for, or sponsorship rather, for immigrants. all of these things, all of this paperwork that immigrants, potential immigrants, had to line up in order to make it to the united states. they were operating under this immigration quota system. there is no special provision for refugees in the 1930s, were fleeing persecution. so just want to make it in, or anyone who wants to make it out of nazi germany, needs to navigate the immigration system. it's difficult bureaucratically. it's also quite expensive to do. so you see here all of these examples from our collection of individuals trying to navigate the immigration system and the paperwork they needed to line up in order to do it. as i said, cry

and they all gave rather different results and one of them was better than einstein. and i view that something went wrong with that area he had some reasons for thinking that certainly but he didn't have anything like it. that's the way it isgenerally . there's a certainly it serves a disagreement about who's evidence is can be trusted and it's a great disagreement about what theories to believe. and it doesn't matter as long as scientists are producing the right kind of evidence. eventuallyenough piles up . as with the relativity theory that einstein has shown to be a more effective user and eventually evidence piles up that we find results in consensus. >> i like to go to an audience question you did you think about early discoveries and early thought process, how might the application of modern science have affected some of those discoveries and i think about parts of the book where you talk about the idea of the water was the presence of everything and no, it's a, it's fire. how mit modern scientific theory have affected those early scientific arguments. >> those

in my book i tell the story of the famous expeditions to establish einstein's theory of relativity. and those observations and then they have rather different results even i look at something went wrong. certainly there is a tremendous disagreement and with that disagreement of what to believe but it doesn't matter. if they are producing the right kind of interact on - - that evidence and that relativity theory and eventually that evidence piles up and that consensus. >> you leading to and audience question with the early thought process, how might the application of modern science affected those discoveries? part of the book where he talk about the idea of the essence of everything, eight modern scientific theory affected? >> those are the early arguments has a great admirer of the ancient greek philosopher so another character in my book in the very early 16th century. these are genuinely scientific ideas that the world is less complicated and for all those things to see around us. that's wonderful stuff. back around two and half thousand years ago that was debated and thrown arou

einstein thought it was pretty spooky transferring information faster than the speed of light. so does this mean travelling not only with 0 emissions, but also with 0 delay? what happens with quantum teleportation? is that really just that you want him information in this system is transferred to another place onto another identical system. with the matter itself, atoms, or photons, or whatever it's made of does not get transferred so it doesn't disappear. i think what does disappear is the information it gets destroyed still. so if 2 quanta are connected this way, they can exchange information without a moment's delay. but not the matter. it really is just the information. ok event. couldn't i just split myself into quanta and send their information to another entangled quantum cloud? i mean, then i would just need to be reassembled correctly, right? let's just say that right now, we don't know of anything that would fundamentally speak against it, but it would have to work in a completely different way. but we'll need completely different setups than what we're creating now w

i was once taught einstein would be up and i want to go out on her back on a day job, you know, but that's about what i think that's all fine and less on so much in here that there's a 4 year old out in 5 days out of his word and that's not to look at the budget for that if i did, but you know what i thought, but i'm too lazy to do that and we're going to i'm going to do if i didn't, i'm going to tell him of his battle with one and i want to place an easy ok that was the most i didn't know you have a good idea. no one i know that would actually try to get the money to fill out your future. i want it will be i mean before he was going to be a little young lad. i mean, i know it's fine. i'm buying, you know what not so much. yeah. i'm doing this with time to reflect on the kind of guy. yeah. you know, that's what you do and i guess i don't know if i have you to be a deal. she is a star wars action or one of them for one father. and i don't know, i seen it for you when you did have everybody to see on the unbeliever. well, you may laugh about just dealing with the problem is a cup of tea with

paradigm in which gravity is a force exerted by mass directly on of the masses which was replaced by einsteiniet in which math actually twist the structure of space-time. it was important to kuhn that they paradigm is not just big and exciting, that in a certain more profound and almost totalitarian sense, it rules the scientists mind so the scientists as it were in some sense stuck in the paradigm. they can't think outside it. that's a good thing, according to kuhn. how could that be? how could it be that a certain kind of narrowness, the refusal to counter or an inability to imagine the possibilities could be a good thing, could promote scientific progress? well here is how kuhn answered. paradigm is full of promise, full of promises. it's a recipe for finding the answer to any question within the parent and scope come question mark astronomy or an astronomical paradigm come in question mark gravity with the right kind of paradigm in physics. most of the time normally what is called normal size come site-specific applying this recipe. but because the scientists convinced that the current pa

einstein and carl and many people upset away before me but you can't give me that kind of depiction kid in your brain which helps you discern things that are real from things that we want to be real but are not. you need that but then you also need imagination and a sense of the great beauty of life and when i think of the person who is able to integrate those two things perfectly, never won at the expense of the other, i always think of carl. he embodied that. he followed his risk and was probably one of the most fully realized human beings. he was the most fully realized human beings that i ever met because he never lost his sense of great joy of life, the romance of life, the romance of being alive. in the "cosmos" one of the reasons he felt so loved as he had that very urgent sense that the universe was 13.8 william years old. the universe let's say it's 13.8 years old -- billion years old. how long do we live? 100 years is the best we can get and yet carl knew and he internalized it. wasn't just lip service or something he. he knew how brief life is and so he lived it with that sen

i'm not the first person to say this, einstein, carl, many people have said this way before me. can't feel you need that kind of that baloney detection kit in your brain which helps you discern things that are real from things we want to be real but are not. so you need that but then you also need imagination and a sense of the great beauty of life. when i think of the person who is able to integrate those two things perfectly, never won at the expense of the other, i always think of carl. because he embodied that. he followed his quest, and i think was probably one of the most fully realized human beings, well, he was the most fully realized human beings i ever met. because he never lost his sense of the great joy of life, the romance of life, the romance of being alive. in "cosmos" i think when at the reasons he is so beloved is he has that great urgent sense that the universe was, we now think it is 13.8 billion years old, but the universe lets say is 13.8 billion years old. how long do we live? we are mayflies. a hundred years it's the best we can get. and yet carl knew, he

einstein, everybody who is anybody on the left there. probably as a result of her experience as a team, the degradation and contrasting family, joined the communist party at the age of 17 despite her parents objection. she never really wavered. well, she did waiver in the whole party seemed to come apart in her hand. away from her equivocation's the story but because she was very young when this took place, it's very old when the berlin wall came down. ... >> it is a migration to the left. but the soviet union is the future but today we live in the era. [laughter] >> exactly and what they could come into the germany was considered to be of the next revolution. but then to take place in germany. and yes she saw all those that went with it. >> i'm trying to think of the word. she was bookish. bookstores. and with that idea or a yearning for something. i don't want to give too much of the details away but how does she make that transition? in the phrase that we use is we outgrow that but she grew into that action oriented. >> she is a contr

in a way she came from a very intellectual academic family that was very well-off everyone from einstein everybody who was anybody on the left but me as a result of her experience as a teenager to see the degradation in the family leftist leaning she joined the communist party at the age of 17 despite the parents objection and never wavered. she didn't leave her there were moments when the whole communist project is coming apart in her hand so her qualifications of the nation on - - over the notion of communism that's part of her story she is young when it started an old when the berlin wall came down to expand the heart of communism with that extraordinary events of movement and world history in the 20th century for good and for evil in that extent we could discuss but she certainly had doubts so it's a wonderful way to explore that story but it all starts in germany in the 19 twenties as far as she was concerned every respectable intellectual position at that point the only people standing up with a communist so it was a migration to the left. >> the soviet union is the future although

albert einstein started the project when he writes a letter to roosevelt and his concern either in englandor the u.s. they were concerned with the nazis would get the atomic weapon before the u.s. or god forbid adolf hitler had a monopoly on the first true weapon of mass destruction. in any case, about a month after the explosion, oppenheimer comes to the white house and he sits down with truman and by this point he's racked with second thoughts and says mr. president, i have these terrible regrets. i feel i have blood on my hands. truman says don't worry about it, i gave the order. i have the blood on my hands. he leaves and truman says to his staff i never want to see that son of a bench in this office again. >> is such a moment. you also tell a story in the book i hadn't heard before and i want you to tell the whole story the part about the pulitzer and william lawrence with "the new york times" and the opportunity he had in the project and how all that turned out. >> william leonard lawrence was a science reporter for "the new york times" and he had won a pulitzer prize for writing an

time this is why often on their deathbed people will refer to their childhood language like albert einstein's last words nobody knows what they were because he was speaking in german and the night nurse did not speak german. >> and with the same concep concept, what is happening in the brains of people that are put on ventilators? not sensory input with the five senses but when a body part is replaced with an external machine does that happen? >> that's an interesting question. one of the things that is fascinating report on - - replacing body parts in genera general, you are fine with artificial heart , respirator ventilator for your lungs you are still the same person but in contrast if you even lose a little chunk of brain tissue your risk aversion and capacity to name animals or see colors or understand music and this is how we know the brain is the densest representation of you and the whole body. people often ask what about the rest of the body? like the greater metropolitan area and this is the urban center you can change and replace it. >> i have a question interested in the idea that

they are expecting they are in a moment of recovery and regaining normalcy or what albert einstein wouldsay without having confronted the past. they were about to be confronted with the past. .. >> and then there is absolutely no rhetorical attraction in any way. >> talk about writing for time to have a little swagger to it. that this is entirely about laying out the facts. and the more effective it would be. and it really works because by a dialing it down from the vantage point they cannot put themselves into the shoes of those people in a fair way. >> so they persuade themselves with the writing and the testimony and then what happens? >> and the word explosive is not the word that i use but. >> and that indicates the content. >> so this one the cover that was slated for the august 31st issue that people were horseback riding and with the table of contents with a magazine where. and i couldn't find anything. and then to speculate that it really does symbolize the sleepwalking america and the more gruesome interpretation of that is that the part with hiroshima and later becomes a refug

einstein supposedly said, when a nuclear weapon first tested he said we changed everything, now this changes everything. he said man thinking. he also quote attributed to him, whether was accurate or not i do not know, he said i know not what this will be used in world war three, but i do know world war four will be we will be fighting with sticks and stones. this is gods you know first we are talking about, it should not be taken lightly by decision-makers. also, i think the public has to become more knowledgeable and involved in this. not just in the u.s., but in russia, in china, in great britain, in france, in pakistan, in india, the cut at some point of deterrence will work until it will not. give you a comparison, the epidemiologist has been telling us we will have the pandemic for the last 15 years. our organization and pei is involved in the biological side in another hole set of problems, but people did not pay a whole lot of attention. the health facilities, having access to medicine by a huge portion of a population. we did not take care of those things. we did not have an

just one example, albert einstein's last words, nobody knows what they were because he was speaking in german on his death bed and the nurse didn't speak german. >> and this same concept, what is happening in the brains of people who are put on ventilators to recover from covid? not necessarily sensory input and we can conceive of the five senses, but when a body part is kind of replaceed with an external machine? does at that same kind of remapping happen? >> that's a very interesting question. we don't know the answer to that. i mean, one of the things that is fascinating about replacing body parts in general is that you're fine with it. you can get an artificial heart, a respirator to take care of your lungs or anything like that. you can lose limbs or anything like that, and you're still the same person n contrast, if you damage or lose even a little chunk of brain tissue, that can change you entirely, your decision making, your risk aversion, to name animals or see colors or music or a hundred other things that we see in the labs every day. and this is how we know that the brain i

why often under deathbeds people will revert to childhood language, just as one example, albert einstein last words nobody knows what that word because he was speaking in german on his deathbed and the night nurse didn't speak german so thanks. >> certainly. another question about this kind of same concept. what is happening in the brains of people who are put on ventilators to recover from covid? not necessarily like sensory input as we can continue the five senses but when a body part is replaced with an extra machine, does that same kind of remapping happen? >> that's an interesting question. we don't know the answer to that. one of the things that's fascinating faceting about replacing body parts in general is that you are fine with it. you get an artificial heart, you can get a respirator, then later come you can lose limbs and stuff like that and you're still the same person. in contrast if you damage or lose even a little chunk of brain tissue, that can change you entirely, that can change your decision-making, the risk aversion, your capacity to namet animals perceive colors or u
