Human Thinking Above
Sense Perceptions/Opinions
Universal History
4.3 Italian Rennaisance
4.2 German Classical Period
4.1 Greek Classical Period
(cradle of European culture)
4.1.1 Bach, Hayden, Mozart, Beethoven,
Schubert, Brahms, Schumann,
Mendelssohn, Heine, Schiller, Vilhelm Humboldt
4.1.1.2 Schiller's idea of a beautiful soul:
man can only be free when one joyfully and passionately do what is necessary
4.1.1.1 Bismarck's (1860s-1890) vision of unity of interest between agriculture and industry
4.1.2 Philosophical Development
Leibniz: harmony of human soul and laws of the Universe
Kestner, Moses, Mendelssohn, Lessing
Einstein's Personality
3.4 not to solve paradoxes but know reality as a whole, search for God's thoughts
3.5 unified electromagnetism, mechanics and special relativity to new theory of gravity and went for ultimate effort to create unified field theory, non-linear evolution of thought
3.3 the search for truth is more precious than its possession (Lessing)
3.2 imagination is more important than knowledge, knowledge is limited, imagination encircles the world
3.6 epistemological credo:
totality of concepts
perceptions
3.1 guided by his musical intuition
Theory of Special Relativity (TSR)
5.3 Einstein's question:
is there a relativity for all nature's laws not simply for the laws of mechanics, will all of nature's laws be maintained given motion in a uniform manner?
5.4 Einstein's conclusion:
the velocity of light in each reference frame is constant but what is changing is the time which is used to observe the events. Simultaneity is not absolute, it changes given the reference frame of the observer. Investigate the invisible.
5.2 Paradox of Michelson Morley experiment
5.1 TSR says: all the laws of nature are going to be maintained whether one is stationary or in uniform motion. Its a theory dealing with linearity, constant change.
5.5 Invariant principle in humanity

Asking the big questions in life:
what is the meaning of life
where does the universe end
what does it mean that we are going to die
what is right and what is wrong
what is truth
Early life of Einstein
2.1 wrote his own hymn
2.2 observed Universe as single significant whole, instead of religion pursued physical science
to find greater purpose in life, magnetic compass at the age of five intrigued his curiosity
2.3 at the age of 16 began contemplating about the unique nature of light, vowed to become a theoretical physicist
Take Home Ideas:
estimation of magnitude must cease to be logical, it must be achieved aesthetically
Truth is not literal but ironic
in human physical science passion and truth must be united
passion without scientific reason is wild fantasy but science without passion is robotic practicality
reality must be sought for in imagination, creativity lies in imagination
let mind make leaps and thought beyond what is currently known and it is the function of the domain of art
