This caricaturization captures the type of conversation Outsider Einstein would have had with his wife and the people in his circle. He had no room in his life for anything other than physics. He also thought in pictures. Allegedly he didn't like math. Anybody know if he did anything profound after E=mc2?
For Paul, I never said Newton wasn't a genius. My point was that in the popular imagination Newton=apple and Edison=lightbulb (those who know their names at all), but I'll bet any hick in any red state can tell you that Einstein, yes Einstein, was a genius ... This grossly unbalanced perception is what I'm getting at.
