Coming December 9 at 8:00 AM PT, our last Microsoft Research Forum episode of the year.  Register now:

Richard Feynman on String Theory: 'I have noticed when I was younger that a lot of old men in the field couldn’t understand new ideas very well... I’m an old man now, and these are new ideas, and they look crazy to me, and they look like they’re on the wrong track.'

Albert Einstein was a proud immigrant, helped many others to emigrate, and founded the International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg Image: Ben Shahn's masterful Jersey Homesteads mural of Albert Einstein with other immigrants (late 1930s)

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." — Albert Einstein (via @phalpern)

The greater the nodes, the stronger the network.

Albert Einstein, with his first wife Mileva Maric in Bern, Switzerland, during his 'miracle year' of 1905 in which he developed the special theory of relativity, his interpretations of the photoelectric effect and Brownian motion, and other groundbreaking contributions to physics

'Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.' -Albert Einstein (Reported in the New York Times, June 20, 1932) Image: Albert Einstein with refugee children

'We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems... Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.' -Richard Feynman, "The Value of Science" (1955)

Tributes at Bryn Mawr College to the brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether, who spent her final years there. Noether revolutionized the methods of modern physics by identifying continuous symmetry groups with conservation laws. The third image is her grave marker. #Mathematics

The plan was clean. The escape? Not so much. Midway City doesn’t play fair. Wishlist this 4-player coop heist FPS on Steam today.

Three of the most important 20th century theoretical physicists strolling together at Princeton: Albert Einstein, Hideki Yukawa, and John Wheeler

The Allure of the Multiverse An extraordinary voyage into the history of how parallel universes, higher dimensions and time travel have captivated us in imaginative books, films, and series, while stirring raging controversy in science. Now available: https://t.co/L141bscakW

Marvellous portrait of physicist Richard Feynman dressed as a Ladakhi monk for a costume party, painted by Pasadena artist Sylvia Posner. The 'lightning bolt' he is clutching in his right hand resembles one of his scientific diagrams.
