Nikola Tesla, I'm not sure if it's been covered already, im pretty new to the channel
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.
Bram Stoker's Dracula, the iconic 1897 tale of a vampire from Transylvania, is often thought to be inspired by a formidable 15th-century governor from present-day Romania named Vlad the Impaler.= VLAD TzEPES fighting Ottoman Empire.

People: "Why don't you get a job?"
Me: "Einstein couldn’t get a job for nine years!"
actually 2 years, she meant "at the university"
@@MrSpock-sm3dd it was a joke. G
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.
@@icsecrets172 what does it mean ,can u write conclusion
@@MrAB-wf5sf Sorry . If i will do that will be to easy for you to understand .
It might be apocryphal, but I heard a story that later in life Einstein thanked the Swiss patent office for not giving him enough work to do so he had time to pursue his own ideas.
I also heard of it.
Based
Yes, you heard it in this video.
Maybe he just stole them
All destiny.
a lesson to every professor, the best and brightest, the most inquisitive and curious, are not necessarily the A students.
Grades are only a snapshot, peoples understanding and thought process can evolve overtime, a lot of people let the grades stop them from pursuing it without realizing they have potential.
Note: May not apply if the teachers, professors are open-minded, inquisitive and curious themselves.
tbh, I think its more of a mistake on Einstein part than professors rejecting him. you're saying this from hindsight bias
how come they could see if they dont have the eye for it?
So the woke schools changing the grading standard were on the correct side of educational history?
The way he treated his wife was wrong. She was there for him when nobody else was, spent her time fixing his mathematics (which allowed him to get published) and had two kids and he dumped her for his *cousin*? 😢
That's f*cked up.
Yeah, I was looking for this comment. I agree.
Mileva did not pass when attempting to get her degree. She was subpar at best intellectually. Einstein probably let her look at his work as he was excited about it and wanted to share it with his wife. Also, it gave her a chance to be a part of the physics exploration that she wanted, but failed to achieve. Mileva slowly became more and more insufferable, eventually demanding all his attention because she was not cultivating her own interests only feeding off of Einsteins. This forced Albert to establish healthy boundaries in order to continue maintaining his sanity while working to provide financially for the family while trying to make advances in physics. As Mileva only grew worse, Einstein regretfully left his boys where he wept at the train station when saying good bye. Einstein left his family with ALL of the Nobel prize money which Mileva bought a couple buildings she rented out to thrive financially. Einstein liked Elsa because she was the opposite of Mileva. Not needy and winey, but supportive and loving. They did not plan on having kids, so the cousin thing was not an issue genetically. So maybe it was Mileva who treated Einstein wrong...
Imagine we had Instagram and Facebook at that time he would be distracted all the time

Not true
Some say it is hard to find job today )
100 years ago it took 9 years and 4 revolutionary publications to get position according to your degree
I'm guna make a meme on what you said here lol
Dew it
No idiot he made his job givers angry
We are talking professor positions, these still require similar or more work now than then when you keep in mind that most people did not see his papers as revolutionary at first.
today you just have to be a minority so the company can claim some WOTC credits or match the DEI quote.

Little known fact. After he published the Special Relativity papers, he applied for a job in the Balkans in the Kingdom of Serbia as a university professor in Belgrade. But he was rejected because of the language barrier and not speaking Serbian.
Lucky Einstein
@@FPSIreland2such an unnecessary comment
Can't find any reference of it, also doesn't sound too credible given Serbia close ties to Germany at the time and Germany's general prestige in physics I doubt it would be much different than teaching physics in English nowadays!
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.
@@petarswift5089 yeah that's why I question your assertion that the language barrier was the reason he didn't teach in Serbia, which you didn't address weirdly!
bro divorced his wife of two kids in order to marry his cousin?? 💀
Yes, people change throughout their life. Who you are at 22 isn’t the same as who you are in 40.
People discover new things about themselves through the passing of the years, and yes, sadly sometimes that also includes, finding out that you are not that compatible with your partner.
He was selfish of course, there’s no denying it that. Whether he felt guilt, or proud of his decisions is another story. He’ll never know what he felt inside.
His resilience in the face of educational and professional setbacks is a powerful lesson on the importance of persistence and staying true to one's intellectual passions. 🔑
This is probably the best description of success. "He did his most important work and nobody cared at all"
It isn't till later when the implications of the success show up does the impact of the stone hitting the water send out the waves...

I finished my PhD in neurobiology nine months ago, and so far I haven’t find a job. This gives me some hope.
Where from ? U.S ?
sending you luck that you find a job soon
Robert Lawrence Kuhn probably also could not find a job, so he "parlayed" his talent for interviewing other scientists to try to find "God." He made a great CZcams career. I have great admiration for him. Talk about "making your own luck."
It is extremely unwise to share any conservative opinions with potential "helpers." Even if you are not an atheist, don't share your belief in God with anyone. That may be enough to get you removed from the running.
Scientists who believe in God usually put off any discussion of that until they are tenured. Remember, there is enormous anti-God bias in science. There may be problems if you are Jewish or have a Jewish sounding name. You should consider changing it.
In order to get a university job, you usually have to kiss some *ss. If you can parlay your education into a healthcare provider, that is another opportunity. You usually have to get a license for that. Like a therapist. Try volunteering your services for free at some local university people who need help with research projects. Don't ask to get paid. After a couple of years, ask them to write letters of recommendation for you.
Good luck!

Uuuuh, that was heavy! I think you must be in the wrong page here; Perhaps 'Mr. Rogers' is closer to your IQ!
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.
Yeah, Einstein's cousin-wife was actually quite an ugly hag compared to Mileva Maric. He should have stayed loyal to Mileva. Probably would have come up with a grand unified theory then. Also shouldn't have told the US of A to build a nuke.
I'm gonna build a time machine and tell him about it.

He stole her ideas !
@@shantishanti1949 yeah just like marie curie stole from her husband.

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. He wouldn't have discovered General Relativity in a real-life elevator.
A proud Indian engineer 😂
Elevators cannot constantly accelerate downwards.
@@gary_rumain_you_peons Real-life elevators don't, naturally. There's air, and eventually, the ground itself. An ideal elevator for Einstein would be a nightmare in the real world. 🤣

He was missing Mileva's Love to finnish the Theory of Everything.
I'm really curious what he said at last, the nurse didn't know german, it will probably remain a mystery forever
It was some sort of equation, but the nurse was not a mathematician.
Probably?
So he's not cared enough at the end? Probably they should have had a recorder near him all the time.

Thanks a lot.
From someone who was a very happy 'Patent Clerk' for 16y.
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.
What a lovely and well made video! One of the best I have seen on Albert Einstein, and a LOT of documentaries were made on his life and his legacy.
Think "Chauncey Gardner" from the movie "Being There." He was doing the bidding of the controllers. They needed more BS to convince the people of the universe and such. They made him into a genius. He was a nothing.
Your full of garbage MrTrashcan't.
I love this guys relentlessness. He never gave up
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.
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.
His First wife was the mathematical genius…..she taught him and developed the time concept during a train ride, which she shared with him…
People would love to believe that, but no.
@@mark9294why would they love to believe that if it is true? Strange. Patronizing.

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.

Physicists in his time (and still now) weren’t interested in how the universe worked, they were primarily interested in WHO is saying this is correct.
Without Max Planck vouching for Einstein, Einstein would not have ever got a decent job or be known.
He was on Family Guy, he stole " Johnsons theory of relativity from Mr. Johnson when he brought it into the patent office. He also stole the Shrinky Dink formula from God. funniest stuff I ever saw
Einstein understood maths and physics unclike his peers who wanted to simply keep a ledger of know how.
Lol... no
In several places in this video you can spot the foundations of most of what is wrong with this world.
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.
Entangled particles do not "influence" each other, neither they "communicate" it's just that the information we have about one particle immediatly is able to tell us information about the other particle
One lengthy paper I read about him detailed how he and the people around him successfully use publicity and what you might call a bit of ShowBusiness to make him so famous compared to other more important physicists. His mathematics was rather poor and he could not get a job on the Manhattan project. But he had made himself very famous so when teller and Szilard put together the letter to Roosevelt about nuclear energy they got Einstein to sign it because of his name.
His family still promotes all of this quite jealously.
Yup... that is the truth
Did these other mathematicians come up with such ground breaking theories? No and that's why they are forgotten. Many are good at math, few can come up with such revolutionary ideas.
Albert einstein had OCD. As do many scientists and entertainers to this day. Can you imagine if he were born in our time? And they were shoving drugs down his throat to help with his OCD! My youngest son, who is a man now, was borderline OCD when he was in grade and high school. All they did was try to convince me to get him Adderall. I wasn't going for any of that, especially when two Psychiatrist told me told me it wasn't necessary. They wanted me to give him drugs to make their job easier. Not everyone learns at the same pace.

@@AL-lh2ht Your kidding right?
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. ;-)
Please make a video on Dr. Satyendra Nath Bose as he was father of Quantum Statistics.
Just an excellent overview. I take away from Einstein's life how important--critical--it is to believe in yourself and persevere. I have a BS in Physics (1972) and learned early on I did not possess Einstein's inner convictions or genius and would still be working in my own isolated patent office, had I not come to terms with the fact I was no genius and no Einstein.
William James Sidis was a genius and also worked in a patent office. This channel also has a video about him (made about a year ago). Well worth watching.

Marrying his cousin was really a disappointing move.
Fun fact. Einstein and Elsa (2nd wife/cousin) shared more DNA than Einstein had with his great-grandmother 😀
Video editing best ❤🎉
Einstein’s family was relatively well-off, which provided him with financial support during his early years. This support allowed him to focus on his studies and research without the immediate pressure to earn a living, a luxury not afforded to many.
Why Einstein dumped the first wife who has given him all the things for him to sell as his?
Absolutely!
Romantics aside, by all accounts, Einstein was a stubborn, hard to work with and incredibly small minded person (incest tendencies included). His sole success was a theory that some other people also worked on and good part of base math work for that was done by his wife Mileva Maric.
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
It would be greatest lie I ever told if I said I could understand all this. It all makes me feel like an ant trying to recite Shakespeare.

National service could easily be served as a cook or a clerk but there was no money in it. His arrogant treatment of Georges Le Maitres and his "Big Bang Theory" makes Einstein's understanding of cosmology a joke, The American press loved him. He was a one trick pony.
18:55 is the selling point of this video. It is always towards the end, when the client gets lulled by a beautiful story.
