Einstein and the Mind of God: Einstein's Ethics
Albert Einstein opened our eyes to the idea that space and time are not fixed and absolute, but elastic and mutable. Einstein sought to comprehend what he called the order "deeply hidden behind everything" and to describe it mathematically. He often spoke of this — half-seriously, half-whimsically — as his longing to understand "what God was thinking."
With Einstein in Berlin author Tom Levenson and string theorist and leading African-American physicist S. James Gates Jr. — and again through the words of Einstein himself — we'll probe Einstein's humanitarian passions. We'll explore the fascinating relationship between his scientific imagination and his views on war, race, and "spiritual genius."
