阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦(1879.3.14-1955.4.18) 犹太裔物理学家。他于1879年出生于德国乌尔姆市的一个犹太人家庭(父母均为犹太人)，1900年毕业于苏黎世联邦理工学院，入瑞士国籍。1905年，获苏黎世大学哲学博士学位，爱因斯坦提出光子假设，成功解释了光电效应，因此获得1921年诺贝尔物理奖，同年，创立狭义相对论。1915年创立广义相对论。

爱因斯坦为核能开发奠定了理论基础，在现代科学技术和他的深刻影响下与广泛应用等方面开创了现代科学新纪元，被公认为是继伽利略、牛顿以来最伟大的物理学家。1999年12月26日，爱因斯坦被美国《时代周刊》评选为"世纪伟人"。

以下为爱因斯坦的名言，他的名言对科学具有重大的指导意义，需要我们深入理解。

An intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius – and o lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction.

Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.

A man’s ethical behaviour 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.

人的道德品行应该完全基于同情心、教育和社会联系，而并不一定需要宗教信仰。人如果需要用对刑罚的惧怕来约束，需要对死后才能受到的回报所期望，那就确实可怜了。

The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge.

Now he had departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat, you pull his tail in New York and his head is mewing in Log Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. 

其实，有线电报就像是一只很长，很长的猫。你在纽约拉一下它的尾巴，而它在洛杉矶的头就“喵”了一声。这样说你可以理解么？其实无线电的工作方式与此完全相同：你在这里发出信号，他们在那里收到信号。唯一的区别就是没有猫。

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a prison, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons close to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from our prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all humanity and the whole of nature in its beauty.

人是我们称之为宇宙的一个整体的一部分，在时间和空间上都有限的一部分。对自我、思维和感情的体验都与世界的其他部分分割开来。这是一种意识的视觉错觉。这种错觉有如一种牢笼，使我们局限于个人的欲望，只对和我们最亲近的人才怀有温情。我们的任务应是扩大同情心，去拥抱所有的生命和自然界中美好的一切，把自己从这个牢笼中解放出来。

One had to cram all this stuff into one’s mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."    

为了考试，我们把知识强塞到脑子里，也不管喜欢不喜欢。这样做的恶果是，期末考完，一整年里谈到科学我就犯恶心。

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

不是所有有价值的都能被计算，不是所有能计算的都有价值。
