Is noted for many famous sayings. This one is one of my favorites:

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." ~ Al Einstein

I've been watching "Genius" on National Geographic, a biographical film series on the life of Einstein. It also walks you through the events leading up to the Holocaust, and what came after. Einstein was more than a scientist, he was a visionary.

Einstein: Not a false prophet.

He invented great bagels.

I think that was his brother

He didn't have a brother lol.

As for bagels, he was one of the boyz in the hood, er kippah. :)

We are referencing the bagel company - "Einstein Bros. Bagels"

I know that. Not sure there's a connection to Albert, but could be wrong.

I haven't had an "Einstein" bagel yet, so don't know how good they are or what I'm missing. I live in bagel country though, and it is a subsidiary of Manhattan bagels, which are more common where I live. :)

My first time eating a bagel was in Palo Alto, California, with lox. OMG, I became hooked for life. :) I was 18.

We are just amusing ourselves with the name. I really don't think Einstein started a bagel company.

Yes, but he was the first to split a bagel atom.

Which came first, the bagel or the atom?

Lox quarks came first. Bagels and their atoms came about so there was someplace yummy to put the lox :)

The NatGeo series, by the way, is pretty good!

But he could never figure out the equations to unify the theory of bagels and breakfast. It was his biggest regret.

E=MC²

Aha! Bagels are round, so Einstein's theory does not apply to them. Eat and enjoy!

Bagles are torus shaped, which is how the magnetosphere and heliosphere are shaped. So is our galaxy and nearly every galaxy in the universe.

There's a program on National Geographic preceding and following the one on Einstein's "Genius," about parallel Universes being a real possibility.

Einstein considered that during his lifetime, according to the program. That a parallel universe right next to ours could cause the end of our world as we know it, by colliding into our Universe. It would either gobble our Universe up, and we'd disintegrate into it. Or only god knows what.

It discusses the possibility that we have doubles of ourselves in these parallel universes living lives maybe similar or dissimilar to ours, but with the same genetic makeup as we have. It sounds bizarre, but MIT physicists and other scientists are considering it a very real possibility.

Einstein used the bagel to demonstrate the curvature of time/space that manifests as a torus shaped universe:

I never dreamt I'd get an education on the bagel by posting about Albert.

Too funny.

Now this link from Brown Univ. has me convinced: Bagels are really applied Physics.

...and delicious, too! :)

I bought a couple of bagels on my way home from work today, with a bit of cream cheese and lox to go with them (for old times sake.) I don't eat em very often, so when I do they're a real treat.

I may freeze the fresh bagels by wrapping them in tin foil, while they're still fresh. Then toast em when I'm ready - that makes them 'freezer bagels.'

You must be feeling smug as a bug.

On the other hand, bagels are math and science combined.

It takes scientific understanding to bring the ingredients together and heat enough to cook up a batch of dough that results in the formation of yummy bagels.

Add to that their three dimensional shape in a four dimensional world, with a two dimensional surface.

So maybe not so smug, after all, heretic er Atheist Dave. :)

Einstein definitely approved of bagels, and their timing as in all things are relative.

Einstein would have approved ! ;)

"The faster we move through space, the slower we move through time." (Einstein's breakthrough on Part 4 of 'Genius')

"Time is not absolute"

"Light carries mass"

Tonight he discovers the theory of relativity formula.

Stay tuned ... for time travel. ;)

Performing the autopsy. He took it without permission from Einstein or his family. He used the excuse it was to study it to see what distinguished Einstein's brain from others, that made him a genius, etc.

Einstein's wishes was to have none of this on his death. He wanted to be cremated, without being dissected first.

Imagine the lawsuit were that to happen today!

Einstein's son Hans told the pathologist he could extract Albert's brain from his body. But it would never tell him about the man his father was. Nuff said about that.
