Well let him RIP, but I never understood physics in high school, chemistry was easy to understand, bases and acids(ph level).

Flame away.

Our brains must be opposites.

I got physics stuff intuitavly. Chemistry, yeah I sort of see that but never attached it to real life.

> I never understood physics in high school <

I taught high school and college freshman physics. The trick is to start each lesson at a slightly lower (more basic) level than what the teacher’s manual suggests. That way, no one gets lost early.

And no, I’m not an educational genius. By the luck of the draw, I got a freshman college physics professor who was an incredible instructor. I patterned myself after him.

I never liked pi....cuz as far as I was concerned, every answer derived using pi was approximate at best.

> God does not play at dice. <

And it turns out that Einstein was wrong about that. Quantum mechanics really is a probability thing, and not a for-sure thing.

🎲

Sorry, Al.

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.
Albert Einstein

My favorite Einstein quote. Applies to so many on this board who have questioned an obviously corrupted media and government storyline. The search for truth goes beyond physics and math.

Genesis 37

18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

Einstein’s popularity was propped up because he was a globalist stooge. He even called for a one-world police state (ref: https://www.openculture.com/2017/09/when-albert-einstein-championed-the-creation-of-a-one-world-government-1945.html)
