Albert Einstein: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.”

Mass conversion. As the great Albert Einstein once said: E = mc2. There’s an absurd amount of energy in mass. A modern nuclear plant can power an entire city for a year with the energy stored in just one kilogram of Uranium. Yes. That’s it. The entire output of a nuclear reactor for a year comes from a single kilogram of mass.

Einstein once famously said that problems couldn’t be solved with the same level of consciousness that created them in the first place.

In economics the particles, that is, agents, are endowed with some kind of foresight. Their image of the future affects the present.

Albert Einstein was a consummate daydreamer; he preferred the term gedankenexperiments, the original German name for thought experiments. During one such gedankenexperiment, while he was picturing riding a beam of light and imagining what time and space would look like, Einstein came up with the relationship between energy and matter that he

Only when it was possible to probe very small distances on the atomic scale or very large velocities on the scale of the speed of light did serious deviations from the predictions from Newton’s laws become apparent. And these led to the revolutionary discovery of quantum mechanics to describe the microscopic, and to the theory of relativity to

I realized that any physical system that behaved nonperiodically would be unpredictable.”

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force…We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.
