Einstein is the darling of fate. His theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of space and time. But he received the Nobel Prize for his work on the theory of the photoelectric effect. This may be true, because the quantum revolution is more dramatic in its consequences than the relativistic one. And that Nobel work of Einstein, along with more early work Planck laid the foundations of quantum theory. Although Einstein himself never came to terms with the fundamental importance of quantum mechanics and did not accept it, remaining true to the classical picture of the world that “God does not play dice.”
But there was also a third “golden” work by Einstein in 1905 - on the theory of Brownian motion. The conclusions of this work were confirmed in subsequent experiments by Perrin, which finally established the reality of the existence of atoms - an event very important for the science of the early twentieth century. However, the glory of the theory of relativity soon eclipsed this achievement of Einstein, and it is less known to the general public, who have no idea what a technological miracle can arise from the study of Brownian motion.
In his famous 1959 lecture, Feynman predicted that humanity would soon be able to control matter at the atomic and molecular level. Today nanotechnology is magic word, which determines the vector of development of future technology. Already, more than a thousand enterprises are engaged in the production of nanoproducts. But for ultra-small devices, Brownian motion is an indisputable fact and a seemingly insurmountable obstacle: try riding a bicycle during a hurricane. After all, molecules bombard miniature objects with mind-boggling frequency. How can nanodevices function successfully under such conditions?
But nature created nanomachines long ago - any living cell contains them in large quantities. And these nanomachines work extremely efficiently and reliably. How do they manage to resist Brownian motion? The secret is simple: they do not fight Brownian motion, but use it.
Let's imagine a miniature windmill molecular sizes. The molecules randomly bombard the propeller blades, and the wheel turns this way and that, but at the other end of the axle there is a ratchet with a pawl that allows the wheel to turn only in one direction. As a result, we get a Brownian motor, which, as it were, straightens the Brownian motion and rotates only in one direction.
Feynman showed that in thermal equilibrium such a device would not work as required by the second law of thermodynamics. The fact is that the miniature spring that presses the pawl also jerks randomly due to thermal fluctuations and the ratchet cannot
God
God doesn't play dice.
Our math difficulties don't bother God. He integrates empirically.
Before God, we are all equally wise - or equally foolish.
The Lord God is sophisticated, but not malicious.
Through coincidences, God maintains anonymity.
Marriage
Marriage is an unsuccessful attempt to turn a random episode into something lasting.
Possibilities
Opportunity lurks amid difficulties and problems.
War
The war has been won, but not the peace.
I don't know what weapon the third one will be fought with world war, but it is absolutely obvious that the fourth - only with sticks and stones.
Time
The only reason for time to exist is to prevent everything from happening at once.
Stupidity
Only the Universe and human stupidity are infinite, and I have doubts about the infinity of the first of them.
Life
Only the life that is lived for the sake of other people is worthy.
If you want to lead happy life, you should be attached to the goal, not to people or things.
Life is sacred; it is, so to speak, the supreme value to which all other values are subordinated.
A person begins to live only when he manages to surpass himself.
Laws
The laws of mathematics that have any relation to the real world are unreliable; and reliable mathematical laws have no relation to the real world.
International laws exist only in collections of international laws.
Knowledge
How much we know and how little we understand.
Little knowledge is a dangerous thing, as is great knowledge.
Ideal
It is high time to replace the ideal of success with the ideal of service.
The ideals that illuminated my path and gave me courage and courage were goodness, beauty and truth.
True
Truth is that which stands the test of experience.
Finding the truth is more important than having the truth.
I think it is especially important sharing in various ways comprehension of the truth. By this I mean that our moral inclinations and tastes, our sense of beauty and religious instincts contribute to help our mental faculty to reach its highest achievements.
Logics
Logic can take you from point A to point B, but imagination can take you anywhere.
Lie
It is not easy to say what the truth is, but lies are often easy to recognize.
People
If people are good only because they fear punishment and desire reward, then we are truly pathetic creatures.
World
The eternal mystery of the world is its knowability. The very fact of this cognition seems like a miracle.
The most incomprehensible thing about this world is that it is comprehensible.
Morality
The moral qualities of a wonderful person are higher value for his generation and for the historical process than purely intellectual achievements. These latter themselves depend on the greatness of the spirit, a greatness that usually remains unknown.
Science
Science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the desire for truth and understanding. But the source of this feeling originates from the field of religion. From there comes the belief in the possibility that the rules of this world are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot imagine a real scientist without a strong belief in this. The situation can be described figuratively as follows: science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind.
The only thing my long life has taught me is that all our science, in the face of reality, looks primitive and childishly naive - and yet it is the most valuable thing we have.
One of the criteria for the truth of scientific knowledge is the internal perfection of the theory.
Process scientific discoveries- this is, in essence, a continuous escape from miracles.
IN scientific thinking there is always an element of poetry. Real science and real music require a homogeneous thought process.
Science is not and will never be a finished book. Every important success brings new questions. Every development reveals new and deeper difficulties over time.
Science is a drama of ideas.
Moral
The only thing that can direct us to noble thoughts and actions is the example of great and morally pure individuals.
About me
I survived two wars, two wives and Hitler.
I am a deeply religious atheist. You could say that this is a kind of new religion.
Education
The only thing that prevents me from studying is the education I received.
Nature
I have never ascribed to Nature any purpose, purpose, or anything that can be given an anthropomorphic interpretation. Nature is a majestic building, which we are only able to comprehend very incompletely and which excites the soul. thinking man a sense of humble humility. This truly reverent feeling has nothing in common with mysticism.
Problems
No problem can be solved at the same level at which it arose.
Progress
The real progress of mankind depends not so much on the inventive mind as on consciousness.
Technological progress is like an ax in the hands of a pathological criminal.
Religion
Religion, Art and Science are branches of the same tree.
The further the spiritual evolution of humanity advances, the more obvious it seems to me that the path to true religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, the fear of death or blind faith, but through the desire for rational knowledge.
Freedom
Human freedom in modern world is similar to the freedom of a person solving a crossword puzzle: theoretically, he can write in any word, but in reality he only has to write in one for the crossword puzzle to be solved.
Strength
Power always attracts people of low moral character.
Glory
The greater my fame, the more stupid I become; and this is undoubtedly the general rule.
Words
Words were and remain empty words; and, serving the ideal only in words, it is impossible to die for it. But personality is created not by what a person hears and speaks, but by labor and activity.
Death
After all, dying isn't bad either.
I have learned to look at death as an old debt that must be paid sooner or later.
Conscience
Never act against your conscience, even if state interests require it.
Happiness
If you want to lead a happy life, you must be attached to a goal, not to people or things.
Work
Anyone who wants to see the results of their labor immediately should become a shoemaker.
Mind
The goal of all the activities of the intellect is to transform some “miracle” into something comprehensible.
Teaching
The only one smart way teaching people is leading them by example.
Scientists
Since we scientists are destined for the tragic fate of further increasing the monstrous effectiveness of the means of destruction, it is our most solemn and noble duty to prevent with all our might the use of these weapons for the cruel purposes for which they were invented.
A scientist is like a mimosa when he himself has made a mistake, and a roaring lion when he discovers a mistake in others.
Target
No goal is so high as to justify unworthy means to achieve it.
Values
Nothing of value can be born from ambition or a sense of duty. Values arise through love and devotion to people and the objective realities of this world.
Human
Every person is obliged to at least return to the world as much as he took from it.
A person can find meaning in life only by devoting himself to society.
A happy person is too satisfied with the present to think too much about the future.
Man is a part of the whole, which we call the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He feels himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest of the world, which is a kind of optical illusion. This illusion has become a prison for us, limiting us to the world own desires and attachment to a narrow circle of people close to us. Our task is to free ourselves from this prison, expanding the sphere of our participation to every living being, to the whole world, in all its splendor. No one will be able to complete such a task to the end, but the very attempts to achieve this goal are part of the liberation and the basis for inner confidence.
Humanity
Humanity has every reason to value the proponents of moral values higher than the discoverers of scientific truths.
Ethics
A person's ethical behavior should be based on empathy, education, and community connections. No religious basis is required for this.

If by philosophy we understand the search for knowledge in its most general and broadest form, then it can obviously be considered the mother of all scientific searches. But it is also true that various branches of science, in turn, have strong influence on those scientists who study them, and, in addition, greatly influence the philosophical thinking of each generation.

Perfect means for unclear ends - characteristic feature of our time.
Reports about my religiosity are completely false. A lie that is persistently repeated! I don't believe in a personalized God. I expressed my attitude towards God clearly and never renounced my words. If any of my statements may seem religious to someone, then this is probably my boundless admiration for the structure of the universe, as far as our science can comprehend it.
The ability to perceive what is incomprehensible to our minds, what is hidden under direct experiences, whose beauty and perfection reaches us only in the form of a reflected weak echo, is religiosity. In this sense, I am religious." In this sense, I am also religious, with the exception that “incomprehensible” does not mean “closed to comprehension.”
Strive not to achieve success, but to ensure that your life has meaning.
Theory is when everything is known, but nothing works. Practice is when everything works, but no one knows why. We combine theory and practice: nothing works and no one knows why!

Anyone who happily marches to the music in formation has already earned my contempt. He was endowed with a brain by mistake; a spinal cord would have been enough for him. This disgrace to civilization must end. Heroism on command, senseless cruelty and disgusting senselessness called patriotism - how much I hate all this, how low and vile war is. I would rather be torn to pieces than be part of this dirty act. I am convinced that murder under the pretext of war does not cease to be murder.

Do you have a notebook to jot down your brilliant thoughts?
- Brilliant thoughts come to mind so rarely that they are not difficult to remember.
Quotes on the Internet that no one said? It's hard to believe, but they exist. Seven quotes about the future that describe a “bad” future. Sounds too good to be true. That's how it is.
1) “Everything that could be invented has been invented.” — Charles H. Duell, Commissioner of the United States Patent Office in 1899
This is perhaps the most popular "anti-prediction" of our time. Today, it’s hard to imagine making a Powerpoint presentation about business innovation without this quote on the first slide.
What could be the problem with this statement? Nothing, except that it's not true. There is no evidence that Duell ever said such a thing. Debunking of the quote occurs from time to time in books such as Future Hype (2006) And Atomic Awakening (2009). But people still like to quote this absurd prediction.
Sometimes the quote is attributed to other people, as in 1939, when a newspaper columnist attributed the quote to an unnamed "man who retired from the United States Patent Office in 1883." But now, this quote is mostly associated only with Duell and 1899.
There was a joke in a magazine issue Punch 1899, which contained a similar line, but it is unclear how this later came to be applied to the Commissioner of the Patent Office - a man who himself, and this is quite obvious, would never have said such nonsense. And even if there is a small chance that he said something similar (but again, there is no evidence of this), his words were simply taken out of context.
2) “I am afraid that the day will come when technology will surpass simple human communication. And we will get a generation of idiots” - Albert Einstein
People love to put these words in Einstein's mouth. It is as if attributing a quotation to Einstein makes it automatically infallible.
But, as expected, there is absolutely no evidence that Albert Einstein said this. In fact, the origins of this quote can be traced back to movies. Similar quote, a slightly modified version of Einstein's "production" is a quote from the 1995 film Powder.
- Donald Ripley: "It has become terrifyingly obvious that our technology has surpassed our humanity."
- Powder: Albert Einstein.
- Donald Ripley: I'm looking at you, and I think that someday our humanity may actually surpass our technology.
Bottom line: People in the 21st century are bemoaning the fact that technology has overtaken "human interactions" by a misquoted fake Einstein quote from a 90s movie about a fictional genius with paranormal powers. Everything is correct.
3) "640 kilobytes should be enough for everyone." - Bill Gates in 1981
Besides the fact that Gates himself denies authorship, no one can provide any evidence that he said this. Back in the mid-2000s, editor Yale Book of Quotations I tried to track down where this quote came from, but to no avail.
"I've said and done some stupid things, but not that stupid," Gates himself wrote in 1997. "No one in IT will ever say that any amount of memory is enough for all times."
4) “The idea of distance shopping, although quite possible, is doomed to fail.” Time Magazine, 1966
You can make any statement stupid by taking it out of context. In the case of this quote, it sounds as if the conservative magazine failed to foresee the revolutionary development of Internet commerce. In fact, this quote is from a long article about all the amazing technologies and advances that were on the horizon at the time. Time simply collected the opinions of some skeptical (unnamed) futurists about the future of shopping from home.
Quote taken from the magazine issue Time dated February 25, 1966 and, of course, sounds very different in the right context.
“When it comes to shopping, a housewife should be able to connect to the local supermarket via videophone, select a grapefruit, find out the price, all from the comfort of her living room. But among futurists, fortunately, there are skeptics, and they are sure that the idea of remote shopping, although it is quite possible, is doomed to failure, because women love to leave the house, want to examine the product in their hands in order to be able to change their minds. »
The whole article is actually very pro-tech, it has everything from remote cancer treatment by the year 2000 to a videophone, it is far from the techno-reactionary document that they try to make it out to be.
Buzzfeed used part of this quote in an article filled with inaccuracies. But the prevailing view of the future at that time was certainly on the side of home shopping through TV and computers.
5) "It would seem that we have reached the limits of what is possible in the use of computer technology." — John von Neumann in 1949
John von Neumann was a brilliant mathematician and a key figure in history computer technology. So how could he say such a thing? Again, we have a case of a partial quote taken out of context.
Full quote? It would seem that we have reached the limits of what is possible in the use of computer technology, although I would refrain from making such statements, since in five years they may seem stupid."
So, yes, von Neumann was indeed a bit myopic in his vision of the future. But he admitted, in the same sentence, that he was almost certainly wrong.
6) "I think there is room in the world market for maybe five computers." - Thomas Watson, head of IBM in 1943
What's wrong with this quote? There is no evidence that Watson ever said such a thing. Some people have traced the earliest mentions of this quote to the mid-1980s. But even though this quote is introductory words for the majority Powerpoint presentations about the future and technology, no one has yet provided convincing evidence that anyone said it.
7) "There is no reason why anyone would want to keep a computer in their home" - Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation in 1977
Olsen may have said this at the conference World Future Society in 1977, but again, this is an example of a quote taken out of context. As Snopes explains, he didn't mean personal computers, but instead talked about huge computers that would control the entire house. And this kind of skepticism was justified, given all the promises that were made by futurists in the 1970s about how their houses would be included in the overall control network in the 1980s.
In some ways, Olsen was rejecting science fiction ideas about what we now call the Internet of Things. And if the techno-utopians turn out to be right about the smart home in the next decade, the quote still has plenty of time to be wrong.
Einstein quote exposed.
"I'm afraid that the day will definitely come when technology will surpass simple human communication. And the world will get a generation of idiots."
This phrase seemed dubious, since I had never seen it in print before (I once had a project dedicated to quotes from famous personalities and I had to re-read a lot of quotes).
First of all, I went searching in the Russian-language segment of the Internet... The search for the original source turned out to be useless, since this phrase was replicated in Russian on over 100,500 resources (including information ones).
I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.
I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots.
This fact strengthened my suspicions about the authenticity of this phrase.
In the printed edition of "The Ultimate Quotable Einstein" (there is nowhere more authoritative, the link is in the title of the post) this quote is also missing.
During a short investigation, it was possible to establish that a similar phrase first appeared in the film “Powder” (1995):
Donald Ripley: It’s become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity.
Jeremy Reed: Albert Einstein.
Donald Ripley: I look at you, and I, I think that someday our humanity might actually surpass our technology.
The original phrase sounded like this:
Our world faces a crisis as yet unperceived by those possessing power to make great decisions for good or evil. The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking and we thus drift toward an unparalleled catastrophe.
"Atomic Education Urged by Einstein" page 13, line 6.
1. A. Einstein never uttered phrases about idiots;
2. You can safely send someone who will prove the opposite;
3. Don't trust quotes on the Internet.

now, achieved through the imagination of our forefathers. What we will have in
