Einstein interview on NPR radio

I heard a great interview today on NPR radio with Walter Isaacson, the author of a new biography on the life of Einstein.

You can access the audio file at http://wamu.org/programs/dr/

The author discusses how Einstein used his creative imagination to General Theory of Relativity. I have ordered the book from Amazon.com.

Einstein was humble but was confident in the “spirit” guiding the material universe. He did not believe that science and faith conflicted. He said science without religion is lame, but religion without science is blind. He was also a rebel and nonconformist.

Einstein believed in an absolute underlying reality, for this reason he was uncomfortable moral relativism. It was an interesting interview... the audio is available at the link above.

Here are some of my favorite Albert Einstein quotes:


"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein

Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." -Albert Einstein

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." -Albert Einstein

"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them." -Albert Einstein


"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein
