Despite the earnest belief of most of his fans, Einstein did not win his Nobel Prize for the theory of relativity, special or general. He won for explaining a strange effect in quantum mechanics, the photoelectric effect. His solution provided the first real evidence that quantum mechanics wasn’t a crude stopgap for justifying anomalous experiments, but actually corresponds to reality. And the fact that Einstein came up with it is ironic for two reasons. One, as he got older and crustier, Einstein came to distrust quantum mechanics. Its statistical and deeply probabilistic nature sounded too much like gambling to him, and it prompted him to object that “God does not play dice with the universe.” He was wrong, and it’s too bad that most people have never heard the rejoinder by Niels Bohr: “Einstein! Stop telling God what to do.

Space-time is not necessarily something to which one can ascribe a separate existence, independently of the actual objects of physical reality. Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept "empty space" loses its meaning.

“
For while religion prescribes brotherly love in the relations among the individuals and groups, the actual spectacle more resembles a battlefield than an orchestra. Everywhere, in economic as well as in political life, the guiding principle is one of ruthless striving for success at the expense of one's fellow. men. This competitive spirit prevails even in school and, destroying all feelings of human fraternity and cooperation, conceives of achievement not as derived from the love for productive and thoughtful work, but as springing from personal ambition and fear of rejection.

It behooves us ... to consider the fateful formula E = mc2, which almost everyone in the world attributes to Albert Einstein's theory [of relativity]. Despite the fact, however, that Einstein did derive this formula from his special theory of relativity, it stems actually from [the] classical part [of the theory]: i.e., from the Maxwell equations for electromagnetic fields, which goes back to 1865. The famous formula has consequently no bearing whatsoever on relativistic physics, a fact Einstein himself admitted in 1950. Obviously, however, in the interim that fateful formula came to be viewed worldwide as the consummate vindication of Einstein's theory: what indeed could be more convincing than the explosion of an atom bomb?

People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. —Albert Einstein In previous chapters, we saw that the perceptual forms of psi are difficult to distinguish clearly in the laboratory. Telepathy in the lab, and in life, can be explained as a form of clairvoyance, and clairvoyance is difficult to localize precisely in time. Concepts like “retrocognition,” “real-time clairvoyance,” and “precognition” have arisen, blurring the usual concepts of perception and time. It seems that we must think of psi perception as a general ability to gain information from a distance, unbound by the usual limitations of both space and time.1 As long as we are interested in demonstrating the mere existence of perceptual psi, these conceptual distinctions do not matter. But when we try to understand how these effects are possible, the differences become critical. For example, it’s important when theorizing about psi to know if it’s actually possible to directly perceive someone’s thoughts. Likewise, it’s important to know if it’s possible to perceive objects at a distance in real time. Based on the experimental evidence, it is by no means clear that pure telepathy exists per se, nor is it certain that real-time clairvoyance exists. In stead, the vast majority of both anecdotal and empirical evidence for perceptual psi suggests that the evidence can all be accommodated by various forms of precognition. This may be surprising, given the temporal paradoxes presented by the notion of perception through time. But one simple way of thinking about virtually every form of perceptual psi is that we occasionally bump into our own future. That is, the only way that we personally know that something is psychic, as opposed to a pure fantasy, is because sometime in our future we get verification that our mental impressions were based on something that really did happen to us. This means that, in principle, the original psychic impression could have been a precognition from ourselves.

Though energy fields are invisible, they shape matter. Albert Einstein said that, “The field is the sole governing agency of the particle.” Many studies show that human beings are influenced by the energy fields of others. In a series of 148 1-minute trials involving 25 people, trained volunteers going into heart coherence were able to induce coherence in test subjects at a distance. They didn’t have to touch their targets to produce the effect. Their energy fields were sufficient. When you are in a heart coherent state, your heart radiates a coherent electromagnetic signal into the environment around you. This field is detectable by a magnetometer several meters away. When other people enter that coherent energy field, their heart coherence increases too, producing a group field effect. Not only are we affected by the fields of other people; we’re affected by the energies of the planet and solar system. A remarkable series of experiments, conducted by a research team led by Rollin McCraty, director of research at the HeartMath Institute, has linked individual human energy to solar cycles. McCraty and his colleagues track solar activity using large magnetometers placed at strategic locations on the earth’s surface. Solar flares affect the electromagnetic fields of the planet. The researchers compare the ebbs and flows of solar energy with the heart coherence readings of trained volunteers. They have found that when people are in heart coherence, their electromagnetic patterns track those of the solar system. 8.15. The heart coherence rhythms of a volunteer compared to solar activity over the course of a month. A later study of 16 participants over 5 months found a similar effect. McCraty writes: “A growing body of evidence suggests that an energetic field is formed among individuals in groups through which communication among all the group members occurs simultaneously. In other words, there is an actual ‘group field’ that connects all the members” together. The results of this research confirm a hypothesis McCraty and I discussed at a conference when I was writing Mind to Matter: Not only are these heart-coherent people in sync with large-scale global cycles, they’re also in sync with each other. McCraty continues, “We’re all like little cells in the bigger Earth brain—sharing information at a subtle, unseen level that exists between all living systems, not just humans, but animals, trees, and so on.” When we use selective attention to tune ourselves to positive coherent energy, we participate in the group energy field of other human beings doing the same. We may also resonate in phase with coherent planetary and universal fields. 8.16. The brain functions as receiver of information from the field. The Brain’s Ability to Detect Fields The idea of invisible energy fields has always been difficult for many scientists to swallow. Around 1900, when Dutch physician Willem Einthoven proposed that the human heart had an energy field, he was ridiculed. He built progressively more sensitive galvanometers to detect it, and he was eventually successful.

FIELD EFFECTS Emotional contagion is just one explanation for the growth of meditation. Another is field effects. Everything begins as energy, then works its way into matter. Though energy fields are invisible, they shape matter.

Yes. Think of our genetic history as a giant tree system with branches cascading down to smaller and smaller branches, all replicating millions of times, over millions of years, and eventually touching everything.” Neely stopped mid-thought. “Have you ever heard the old Albert Einstein quote that, ‘God doesn’t play dice with the universe?’” “I don’t think so.” “Einstein was troubled by the apparent randomness of the universe and came to believe that there had to be some underlying, hidden law to explain why what appeared to be random actually wasn’t. Most of his thinking had to do with particles and things like that. But it still begs the question: does God play dice?” “When you say dice are you talking about chance?” “Yes, exactly.” Neely nodded. “Regardless of a person’s fundamental religious belief, if we step back and ask ourselves that question, most people have to acknowledge that the answer is yes. At least to a large extent.” Alison looked confused and put her own cup down. “I’m not sure I’m following.” “Okay, look. Let’s say half the population believes that life is designed, while the other half believes it simply evolves. Evolution being the randomness, or chance, that Einstein struggled with.

Las nueve lecciones de Albert Einstein Qué legado nos ha dejado Albert Einstein en forma de reflexiones que son aplicables a la vida personal y profesional?. A través de algunas de sus citas, tratamos de sacar conclusiones que puedan ser aplicadas en forma de valores en el presente. Algunas de estas ideas son : 1. - Tu curiosidad es importante. “No tengo ningún talento especial. Yo sólo soy apasionadamente curioso”. A través de esta cita, recordamos la necesidad de seguir nuestro interior. En el proceso de toma de decisiones, podemos hacer multitud de análisis, pero al final, la intuición es importante y debe ser considerada como factor fundamental. 2. - La perseverancia es la clave del éxito. “No es que yo soy tan inteligente, es sólo que me quedo más tiempo con los problemas”. En el artículo “Hoy es el día. Tu éxito te está esperando” recogíamos la teoría de las 10.000 horas de Malcolm Gladwell. Cualquier objetivo que nos planteemos es alcanzable tras 10.000 horas de dedicación. Al final, una de las claves del éxito y la realización personal, como bien se deduce de la frase de Einstein, son la perseverancia, el espíritu de sacrificio y la dedicación. 3. - La importancia del presente. “Cualquier hombre que puede conducir de forma segura mientras besa a una chica guapa, no está dando al beso la atención que se merece.” Debemos disfrutar cada instante del momento presente con la intensidad y la importancia que ello requiere. Pensar en el pasado podría condicionar el modo en que vivimos nuestro presente. Pensar en el futuro podría trasladarnos incertidumbres y restar intensidad al momento actual. Debemos planificar nuestro futuro y determinar qué es lo que queremos en nuestras vidas. Sin embargo, ahora mismo, lo más importante que podemos hacer es precisamente vivir intensamente este momento. 4. - El poder de la imaginación. “La imaginación lo es todo. Es la vista previa de las próximas atracciones de la vida. La imaginación es más importante que el conocimiento”. La visualización de las metas es fundamental como proceso para la consecución de las mismas. Genera confianza y fe. Cualquier cosa que vemos o disfrutamos en la actualidad, en algún momento estuvo en la mente de alguien en forma de imaginación. Con el paso del tiempo, esa imaginación se tradujo en algo tangible. 5. - La importancia del error. Es una clave en la carrera del éxito. “Una persona que nunca ha cometido un error nunca intentó nada nuevo.” El error es un estadio en el proceso del éxito. No existe éxito sin error como no existe el día sin la noche. Es una parte importante del proceso de aprendizaje. 6. - Generar Valor. “Intenta no volverte un hombre de éxito, sino volverte un hombre de valor.” Determinar y conocer nuestros valores, y vivir la vida a partir de éstos es fundamental. En caso de duda, siempre podemos recurrir a los valores. En ellos encontraremos la clave de la respuesta. 7. - En el cambio está la clave. “Locura: hacer lo mismo una y otra vez y esperar resultados diferentes”. John Maxwell, decía “nunca cambiarás tu vida a menos que cambies lo que haces diariamente”. Es otra forma de entender el mismo mensaje de Einstein. 8. - El conocimiento proviene de la experiencia. “La información no es conocimiento. La única fuente de conocimiento es la experiencia.” Estamos en la “era de la información”. La información fluye, pero por sí misma no constituye conocimiento. Cuando la sintetizamos y aprendemos, podremos aplicarla en forma de acción a nuestros proyectos cotidianos, transformando así información en conocimiento. 9. - Aprende las reglas y juega lo mejor que puedas. “Tienes que aprender las reglas del juego. Y luego tienes que jugar mejor que nadie.

If black holes were of a 3d construct, then it is feasible that we should have seen a tail end of one by now, but we haven't. This leads me to believe that black holes are actually flat. We only perceive them as having depth, just like the 3d paintings that we see around the world. This then would also lead me to believe that there is no outlet within this universe unless we do don't recognize the exit mechanism.
A whirlpool has depth and volume, but say if it didn't, then would that too be a black hole within a water world?

Actually, success is a by-product. “Try not to become a man of success,” wrote Albert Einstein, “but rather try to become a man of value.” Values involve character, which is why Theodore Roosevelt said, “The chief factor in any man’s success or failure must be his own character.” Eli, the priest, and Saul, the king, both had reputations; but David had character. His character and skills were developed in private before they were demonstrated in public.
