That long haired, can't dress himself, reclusive from time to time had to have been crazy. Why else would he have wasted his TIME doing things that helped proved that TIME itself is a myth. Don't even ask me to prove this, as I will not waste my TIME doing so!

i don't recall his "time is a myth" theory
but some of his others are superb....
to come up with that he must've been nuttier than a fruitcake

all right, I like fruitcake! yummy! The time thing is a relatively new thing the scientific community is looking into. It kinda of got a big boost of interest when they sent the probe out into space to have it test the validity of Emc2. Basically they slingshot-ed this probe off of the gravitational pull of planets to get it to approach the speed of light and see what happened to the theory of Emc2 as time started to distort. The end result was that Emc2 was not absolute, but is close enough.

Then again was E=MC2 not absolute or did we fail to account for things like dark matter?

Over the past couple years we have been discovering that there is a lot of stuff floating around in the vacuum of space that we could not detect until recently.

Personally I think he was more sane then most.

Here are some very sane quotes of his.

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts."

It should be noted that Einstein was famous for his mathematics, not his ethics. He was a serial adulterer who divorced his first wife to marry his weak willed, under age cousin, because he was able to cheat on her. She didn't see Einstein for months at a time after their marriage, because he would be locked in his room with a different woman every night and only come out when his wife went to sleep. His poor wife would even cook food for him and his mistresses in hopes of winning back his affection.

So if I want advice on physics, I will turn to Einstein. If I want advice on ethics, I will look to another source.

In the early 1930s Einstein recognized the threat that Hitler posed to Jews living in Germany and to himself in particular as a world-famous Jew. In 1932 Einstein left his country of birth never to return. Throughout the thirties Einstein was deluged with pleas for help from relatives and strangers desperate to flee fascism in Europe. Working against harsh immigration quotas imposed against Jews, Einstein wrote affidavits and enlisted the help of friends in assisting as many refugees as possible. By the end of the 1930s, Einstein had written so many affidavits that his signature on a document no longer carried any weight.

Einstein was a lifelong pacifist dedicated to the establishment of a World Government, which he felt would allow nations to work together and abolish the need for war. He could not keep silent about the ills he saw in society; during the anti-communist "witch hunts" of the 1950s Einstein spoke out against the persecution of those who were accused of being "unAmerican," urging them to commit civil disobedience. He saw a parallel between the American political climate of the postwar period and the fascism of Europe in the thirties.

In answer to a request for advice from William Frauenglass, a Brooklyn high school teacher under investigation by the Senate Internal Security subcommittee, Einstein wrote a letter which was published in The New York Times on June 12, 1953. It read, in part: "Every intellectual who is called before one of the committees ought to refuse to testify, i.e., he must be prepared for jail and economic ruin, in short, for the sacrifice of his personal welfare in the interest of the cultural welfare of his country."
