Einstein on Relativity

• A pretty girl sits in your lap for an hour-it seems like just a minute

• You sit on a hot stove for a minute- it seems like an hour

• …that’s relativity

Israel/Ben-Gurion

An Offer he RefusedI am deeply moved by the offer from our State of Israel, and at once saddened and ashamed that I cannot accept it. All my life I have dealt with

objective matters, hence I lack both the natural aptitude and the experience to deal properly with

people and to exercise official functions. For these reasons alone I should be unsuited to fulfill the duties of that high office, even if advancing age was not making increasing inroads on my

strength.I am the more distressed over these

circumstances because my relationship to the Jewish people has become my strongest human

bond, ever since I became fully aware of our precarious situation among the nations of the

world.Translation: Albert Einstein Archives, The

Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel
