'Einstein was motivated not by logic in the narrow sense of the word, but by a sense of beauty... I asked him once about a theory and he said, "When I am evaluating a theory, I ask myself, if I were God, would I have made the universe in that way?"’

In 1954, Albert Einstein was so upset by the McCarthy era attacks on the loyalty of scientists, that he said that if he were just starting out he'd become a plumber or peddler, instead of a physicist. He soon got an invitation to join a plumbing firm.

Nothing can beat learning quantum physics from one of its greatest masters.
The mathematical elegance of Paul Dirac's proofs and explanations truly boggles the mind.

![phalpern's tweet photo. Albert Einstein in 1919:
'I'd like to meet [Niels] Bohr, this person of such magnificent intuitive talent:'
The two would become friends, fellow Nobelists, and intense debaters about the meaning of quantum mechanics.
