Whether it is useful for you or not, I said my article and now I am satisfied – thank you for your time and I enjoyed your blog very much. However, Strouse came across a recording of Morgan`s answer to Henry Clay Pierce`s question about the price of his yacht. “You don`t have the right to own a yacht if you ask that question,” he said. In other words. More pity. I do not believe Mr. Manley when he said that he hoped his information would be useful to him; I don`t think he cares much one way or the other. I was more under the impression that he just wanted a chance to superficially correct you to brag and try to look impressive. The tone bothered me and made the content all the more irritating because, as I said, I feel compelled to say something.
“When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, you think it`s only one minute, but if you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it`s two hours. That`s relativity. This living explanation of Einstein`s most famous theory, he did not say it himself, but comes from an anecdote that would have circulated around him in 1929 when it appeared in a New York Times article about him. The journalist put the anecdotal statement in quotation marks, and phew! A famous (and most likely false) quote was born. These 12 surprising examples are attributed to people who have never really said them. Becker attributed the original to Rita Mae Brown, the author of mystery novels. In her 1983 book “Sudden Death,” she attributes the quote to a fictional “Jane Fulton” and writes, “Unfortunately, Susan couldn`t remember what Jane Fulton once said. « Insanity means doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. » First, note that what Einstein describes as madness, according to quantum theory, is how the world actually works. In quantum mechanics, you can do the same thing many times and get different results.
In fact, this is the premise behind large, high-energy particle accelerators. In these accelerators, physicists beat the same particles together in exactly the same way, billions and trillions of times. Are they all crazy to do that? It seems that this is not the case, as they have achieved an amazing variety of results. While I applaud your contempt for attributing the quote to Einstein or Franklin (I agree, I don`t think that lends credence to the urban legend of the source of the quote) and for the quote itself, you might be interested to know that the terms “madness” and “crazy” are not clinical terms. If you consult the DSM-4-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), you will notice that the term is not even mentioned. The terms are ubiquitous in popular culture and are part of the general use of the language by laymen. However, the terms are also legal terms with legal definitions and interpretations (e.g., mentally capable of standing trial and assisting in the defense, or did the defendant understand that the alleged crime was false at the time the crime was committed, i.e. “temporarily insane”). Of course, Einstein did not believe in the inherent unpredictability of the world, saying, “God does not play dice.” But by rolling the dice, we experience Einstein`s madness: we do the same thing over and over again – namely roll the dice – and we rightly anticipate different results.
Is it really crazy to play dice? If so, it`s a very common form of insanity! Perhaps, like many people, you have already attributed this quote to Albert Einstein. You probably didn`t blink when you saw it at the beginning of the article. At least not me when an author from my old school newspaper submitted it. In fact, all of our editors had seen this quote attributed to Einstein in the past and hadn`t thought to dig deeper into it. However, when attentive readers came back to us and pointed out that there was little to no evidence that Einstein ever said this, we investigated and found that there was indeed a lively debate about the origins of this quote. It has been attributed to all sorts of people: Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain, Confucius, an ancient Chinese proverb and the most famous Albert Einstein, but there is little to no evidence that any of them ever said such a thing. Take, for example, these oft-repeated and reprinted quotes from Albert Einstein – none of which were said by the great physicist: The whole affair of misattribution of quotes certainly did not start with the Internet – it continues as long as we remember: Once a famous person has a reputation for saying funny, profound or inspiring things, People tend to attribute quotes to them that sound like something they could have said. But they didn`t really say that. It turns out that madness could attribute this quote to Einstein over and over again.
He never said it. In the end, it is very likely that Albert Einstein did not invent this phrase, although it is possible that he said it at some point. Instead, people use Einstein as a spokesperson for the things they want to say. Einstein, perceived as the archetype of undeniable genius, is the perfect candidate for words; If Albert Einstein said it, there must be some truth. Despite the fact that – to quote John Green – “Albert Einstein was a physicist, not a citation-generating machine”, he continues to be cited as the author of various sentences. However, it is not madness to continue listening to Professor Buzzkill. In fact, listening and subscribing is the definition of enlightenment. So be sure to review and review our podcast on iTunes and tell all your friends to subscribe and join the ranks of the enlightened. Churchill never said that, according to the Churchill Centre and Museum in London.
In fact, Paul Addison of the University of Edinburgh states: “Churchill certainly could not have used the words attributed to him. He was a conservative at 15 and a liberal at 35! And would he have spoken with such disrespect of Clemmi, who is generally considered a liberal all his life? Since then, the quote has morphed into “Spirit over matter.” Comedian Jack Benny said it on his 80th birthday. A South Carolina newspaper mentioned Twain in 1970. And in 1981, Muhammad Ali handed the phrase to a journalist as he prepared for his last fight. What`s really interesting about all this false attribution is that no one really knows where the phrase comes from. A source attributes it to crime writer Rita Mae Brown. The phrase “Madness keeps doing the same, but expects different results” can be found in his 1983 book Sudden Death. Yet it seems that she was merely paraphrasing an expression that had been written elsewhere. Many cite a text in Narcotics Anonymous published in 1981 as the original source of this saying. Others point out that it appears to have been used orally in the addiction treatment community, as cited in a 1980 drug treatment program pamphlet and in an Alcoholics Anonymous text published that same year. However, the original version of this text from Alcoholics Anonymous does not appear to be online; Google Books, for example, only has the 1992 version.
A photo shared on Facebook claims that theoretical physicist Albert Einstein once said, “The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.” One of Barnum`s biggest competitors and critics said so, according to “P.T. Barnum: The Legend And The Man,” a biography of A.H. Saxon. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. This quote, a favorite of politicians (and just about everyone), has been wrongly attributed to Benjamin Franklin — but there`s no evidence any of them said it. “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein,” a major complication of his most memorable statements, identified the quote as a misattribution and mentioned its use in Rita Mae Brown`s 1983 novel “Sudden Death.” On his website, Quote Investigator, O`Toole traced the connection between insanity and repetition at least back to the 19th century, but noted its use in a Narcotics Anonymous pamphlet, as well as in novels (including Browns), television shows, and various other sources.
