Even his marriage was relative.
Kishan Poddar Well done, sir.
Lolllll
Good one
The door is to your left, sir
Well done good man, you had me laughing 😂😂😂😂
@14:13 correction*
Einstein says:
“What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don't say a word, yet the world understands you!”. Chaplin replies : “True, but your fame is even greater: the world admires you, when nobody understands what you say.”
I love that
exactly. Idk a single thing about math or science (my worst subjects) but I still know about and admire Albert Einstein. love this
Correct number 2: E=mc^2
Lol
Greater truth was never spoken ... and it's actual meaning, missed by so many.
He mastered differential and integral calculus at 14!?!
I cried my self to sleep almost every night ~ both semesters!
What about the guy whom invented it? Isaac Newton.
Sam Fisher don't forget leibniz co-created calculus
Shidd U .. I never got pass geometry
brooo let's cry together 😭😭😭
@@samfisher2306 NEWTON and EINSTEIN were gods
I admire people who can study and actually LOVE mathematics. The only subject I excelled in school was English...
same
@@centuryfiles9558 listen I contend that what's most missing in education is teaching what's truly astounding and beautiful about any subject but especially mathematics. For instance geometry is fascinating because it's obviously linked with artefacts real or imagined in the real world. Now would it be fascinating to see that any conceivable 2 or 3 dimensional geometric object has an algebraic expression? Now this also includes 4 or higher dimensional objects.
@@paxwallacejazz You say that like the average person, much less the low end of mediocrity, has the ability to see that even if shown.
I wish I had your optimism.
Well that’s not bad you could major in it and Get into literature those people are really smart and I believe get payed a lot or at least adequately
bruh im failing ela
Einstein is quoted as saying"regarding your struggles with math, I assure you mine are greater". This always gave me hope when struggling with algebra.
"They named the primary school I went to after me" (seriously, take a moment to grasp that)
I find all your videos interesting but this was one of my favorites so far.
Great job as always, Simon.
The one thing I can really relate to is the “life is music” stuff. Like I don’t know what goes on in everyone else’s head, sometimes I hear them talk about getting a song stuck in their head every now and again, but it’s like constant music in my thoughts. Just snippets of songs that pop into my head all day long. Sometimes I’ll get the same verse stuck in my head for hours or a tv theme that I watched 20+ years ago and couldn’t tell you a damn thing about would suddenly show up out of nowhere. But it’s always music.
Do you play? You clearly were born to create music. I’ve been a musician 20 years now, and that’s something we all have going on.
Maybe you're a secret savant!
It's beautiful how you explained his life so well! People always over generalize Einstein like he is some kind of mad men, but the true story is way more interesting
You have a great voice. When I am listening/watching these videos it's almost like I am following a great lecture
How about a bio on Carl Sagan ?
Carl Sagan is in the queue.
It's now been done.
Coen A yes it has hasn’t it.
"I'm dope as two rappers, so you better be scared. Cause Albert E=MC^2!"
'While it's true that my work is based on you
I'm a super-computer you're like a TI-82'
It's strange that this is the equation that has permaiated the public consciousness when Einstein never actually wrote it. The actual equation uses most of the same letters representing the same things but the real equation is different. It's worth looking up.
@@acetate909 Yep, we use it a lot in nuclear physics lecture. It can take many forms actually.
@Graig Simmonette
I'm an engineering student, I'm pretty familiar with the equation. I know all the implications of relative mass and energy. I'm simply saying that Einstien never wrote that equation and it's funny that it's become the most popular physics equation in the history of the world, when it's wrong.
There are 10 million million million million million million million million million particles in the universe that we can observe! your momma took the ugly ones and put them into one nerd.
Great job w one of my favorites. Thank you for what you do. Greatly appreciated
I read about this man as a kid. I'm studying electrochemistry and molecular physics thanks to him.
nerd
Wow, I’m impressed. I admire people who are good at those things. I like science, I’m just not good at it when it comes to the math part of it. So physics, etc, aren’t my strong suit.
@@ardenalexa94 well, if it makes you feel better, organic chemistry is a lot less math. Biology even less so. Maybe consider those if you're not fond of math!
@@me0101001000 I find math interesting and physics. I just have a learning disability in math where even basic math some days can be a challenge. I’m good at most other subjects, just not that one. History and literature are more my strong suit.
I've been waiting for this one and it did not disappoint.
Your videos are always delightful! Thank you!
I love how unbiased you are . Well done
Sounds like my grandson. He got a high score in a difficult subject that was hard for anybody else, he totally didn't score any kind of grade in everything else.
PFFFFT my subject is math lol
That was awesome, could you make one about Bernhard Riemann ?
Beautiful Bio.
👍
could you perhaps do vincent van gogh? :)) love your videos!
I was actually unaware of Einstein's civil rights activism. What a hero!
Yeah, it was one of the many reasons why he wasn't allowed on the Manhattan Project. The United States government considered the NAACP a communist front organization. 20th century American politics was idiotic. If you were any sort of left wing, you were automatically a communist to the FBI. An example being the Republican faction during the Spanish Civil War. It wasn't just communists but all sorts of groups, from liberals, social democrats, to anarchists and socialists. But nope, the United States government considered them communist.
Your work. Educational. Entertaining. Appreciated. Greatly.
That was awesome, so interesting. 👍✌️
Actually, E=mc² doesn't mean that energy can be converted into mass and vice versa. It means that mass is a form of energy, no different than light or thermal energy. Also, the full formula is E²=(mc²)²+(pc)². E=mc² is a special case when the p, that is the impulse of an object, is next to 0 from the perspective of an observer. Another special case is E=pc, which is for photons, which have impulse but no mass. This is what allows solar sails to work.
Marco Meijer thanks for this knowledge!
But the notion that mass is a form of energy means that it can be converted into other forms, so what he said is not completely wrong.
@@thatrocksong true, but it is an important difference nonetheless.
And did you do all that without Brilliant's help???
Well, there goes my last braincell...

Hey man, love your videos! i was wondering if you could do a biographics episode on Ivan the Terrible
love the music at the e=mc2 part lol
Can you do Van Gogh next please?
That would be very good.
This is a must!
YASSSSSSSSSS
Awesome episode! One on Mileva would be awesome too
Do a Jacques-Yves Cousteau bio... that would be an eye opener for many people.
You have wonderful authors on Biographics (if I'm not mistaken, I've seen different authors credited in the descriptions). This was one of the best written episodes, in my opinion. My opinion may be biased, as I lean toward math and science figures, especially in the physics realm (quantum and astrophysics are my favorite). This really struck me. I'm an avid fan of all of Biographics; I've never been offended by misinformation or lack of information on any of your subjects (although I would have loved if Carl Sagan's marijuana advocacy had been included, but I digress).
Sagan was, after all, posthumously revealed to be Mr. X, a secret writer for High Times magazine.
A very large part of structured musical learning has to do with mathematics. This is probably why Einstein showed such an infinity towards both.
Do one on Paul Mccartney
'Max Talmud'? That sounds like the name of a Jewish superhero.
Great job
Highly recommend the series Genius. The first season is about Einstein and it's incredibly well done. Finished it in 2 days
One of your best.
Can you make a video on Douglas Mcarthur.
who?
@@The_RoyalBlue Read any WW2 book on the Pacific War.
Great video, as always I would love if you could cover General "Stonewall" Jackson.
Did you see the one on Robert E. Lee: czcams.com/video/ZlQqnvI1e08/video.html
The only Biographics video I've been waiting for!
So, we're done here?
@@Biographics Not at all! Lookig forwards to what's next. VP and TIFO are also two of my favourite channels!
A famous University director in Germany was asked in the 1930's whether his university was affected by Nazi laws prohibiting Jews to attend.
'Affected?' The man reacted, 'It has ceased to exist!'
speaking of great scientists. Carl Sagan would be nice to see done
I use to live 5 miles from Princeton Medical Center on Witherspoon Street in Princeton, NJ. A plaque was on the room where Einstein passed away. The Hospital was moved to Plainsboro, NJ in a New Building that Dr. Gregory House (James Hugh Calum Laurie CBE) was suppose to work in on the TV show House. The Hospital had a picture of Dr. House and it listed him as an honorary doctor in the hospital.
I really enjoy your channel
most famous equation and you printed it out as E = mc2... :D Good video tho. I love the Einstein bio Carl Sagan gives in Cosmos while riding a bike.
Incredible information on Einstein!! Always thanks!!!!
E=MC2 instead of e=mc^2 ... i am triggered lol
I love being recommended Brilliant to better understand Einstienian Physics when I'm literally in school for particle physics
Things aren't specifically directed towards just you my friend
An excellent review of a very original mind.
Einstein have been my hero from childhood. when people had poster of spice girls and pictures of pamela anderson, i have poster of the solar system and pictures of Einstein. i have mostly studied his theories and work, but thanks to you, i have now gained knowledge about his life, something to my shame, that i haven't researched. thank you for that. Einstein rose even greater in my esteem.
Its easy to get Einstien bio's horribly wrong. You avoided the pitfals and dida very good job.
A very appropriate sponsor.
another great video that makes you vicer. Like one about Niels Bohr. Thanks Alot.Olaf Copenhagen Denmark
I would still like to see you cover Douglas Bader, WWII Battle of Britain fighter pilot, what was so special I hear you ask, he was always legless.
Nice segue to the Brilliant ad.
Do a video on Baruch spinoza
Great, lovely video! Please, please, please, do Alan Turning and, if nothing else an old cyber geek will thank you!
The irony of the ad with the chosen person is not lost on me
My father's wife of 30 years told me her father worked winters for an employer at Princeton. She told me, "He (Einstein) and my father became friends, and often went walking together. I went to visit my father there in 1944 when I was 18, and met Einstein two or three times during my visit. Einstein gave my father two of his pipes, which Einstein had kept on his desk, as a token of their friendship." She showed me the pipes and allowed me to hold them several times.
Can you a day about Stephen the great, or Ion Antonescu, or Vlad Impaler?
Simon,
Perhaps the addition of one more channel to your collection would do some good for your audience. Please consider a channel that dives deep into the given topics. An example of this idea would be in this video. You hit all of the wave tops, but a little more investigating and producing an unabridged version of these videos would be interesting. Or perhaps you could post them on Curiousity Stream? IDK... Just a thought. I enjoy your videos in most of your channels, I just wish they had more substance.
If you want to know more than Simon says in his videos... go to the library.
Thanks 😊
Would love to see a video on Syd Barrett!
Could please you make a video on Jan Smuts?
Excellent
3:15 not for explanation, but for the discovery of the law -- that is, a quantitative description. At that time, photons were controversial too, until the Compton's experiment.
Amazing content! You should do a video on james dean! :)
Can you please do Stan Lee?
Please do Erwin Schrödinger or Werner Heisenberg next! Your videos are truly terrific!
I'd say it's uncertain if he will do them :P
Is it true that Schrödinger killed his cat just to prove a point?
And Richard Feynman
@@frank124c No don't be stupid.
Can you do one about Max Manus?
We need a man like him today. And could you cover Grace Kelly?
Gipsy Danger With something big enough, or equivalently if she’s far enough away, yes.
There are many. Andrei Geim, Shuji Nakamura, Allen Bard, George Whitesides; just read the many fantastic research papers that come out each year!
Aku where can i find these papers please
@@briansm20 I highly recommend looking to Google Scholar and ResearchGate and look up the names of Nobel Laureates, members of the Academies of Science and Engineering, and other winners of prominent Scientific and Mathematical awards. You'll be fascinated by what you find.
How about ned kelly
weird thing about videos on this channel, the volume level changes from video to video which sometimes blows my eardrums out
Can you please do an episode on Philo Farnsworth inventor of the TV
Just a thought ~ I haven’t seen you cover Beethoven or Chopin. So many people try but given you and your teams ability ~ it’d be cool to see what you uncover.
Albert Einstein's instructor was non other than Simon Whistler. Einstein stated that if he were able to gain one tenth of the knowledge and intelligence of Mr. Whistler that he would be able to change the world. Although he fell well short of his goal, he still managed to make a difference. Mr. Whistler took years trying to explain to him the theory of relativity, and after Mr. Whistler was exhausted with explanation, Einstein finally caught on.
So excited for this one! :D So much respect for Mr. Einstein but don't know that much about his life - thanks for profiling him! :D
GOOGLE!
Could you please make a Biographics about Walt Disney. I would really want to see that!
Simon, please make a biography episode about karl steffanson
Attempt #10
Make one on dwight eisenhower
Do Richard Feynman.
Perfect
It would be awesome to see a Cary Grant, Anthony Perkins, James Stewart and/or Hitchcock video (if you haven't already) please ❤️💝
While he had some serious character flaws, the man had an extremely open mind in some areas.
I think covering Bobby Sands would be interesting as irish history isn't covered a whole lot and his life and actions and some of the most striking and poignant of the 20th century
brilliant is as brilliant it is
Make a video on J.Edgar Hoover
When he stayed at Sennen in Cornwall he would often visit Boskenna, a very bohemian place...if you get my meaning...
can you do Philo Farnsworth?
Do one on Helio Gracie
Could anyone tell me what the music is around 0:38 please? Would be much appreciated
Any hope for a video on Carl Gustav Mannerheim?
Music and math DO have many parallels..
Hey Simon , do you have a recommended soundtrack for life?
Usually its my Spotify playlist which compiles everything I listened to most in the last year.
Had to rewatch this after Oppenheimer movie!
You should do a video about Nelson Mandela
Thanks Simon. Loved it!
Could you cover on isaac newton
