How do Germans feel about Albert Einstein? ?

He's an idol. Sure there were many other German scientists who contribted to physics, rocket science, mathematics, just to name a few subjects. But Einstein sure is the most famous of them all. And maybe we admire him so much because he dared to contradict all the science and scientists of his time, and he was proven right by experiment. I think he's deserved the word "genius". What common-sensed mind would probably get the idea that time can run slower with speed?

I admire Albert Einstein as one of the biggest and most advanced thinkers and philosophers of the 20th century. He gave his knowledge and wisdom to the world, and it's a shame that he only was regarded as a brilliant scientist, and not the pacifist he became in his later years. I think he really tried to make this world a better place.

I feel sorry for him, because he loved his country, and he loved working here, yet the *@~#ing made him leave the country - and destroyed a whole lot of German culture as it had grown. They also destroyed a good bit of common sense. Not only ion their generation, but in the ones to come, and that last thing they did for people around the world!

But contrary to what Johnny Rocket says, Germans do know about his theories and his impact on Physics. If we were not taught about his or Newtons' or Ficks' ideas, how do you think it could be possible for German engineering classes at Universities to be very renown around the world? No engineering without Physics. And I love Physics!

There even is a statue of his famous equation on the "Museumsinsel" in front of the "Neues Museum". Yahoo had a picture of it accompanying one of their headlines a couple of days ago, even.

Anyway, I feel sorry for him because he lost his home and probably lots of his friends. He was a genius, and I am happy he was able to survive and have his impact on the world.

Pretty proud

Someone who knows it

Johnny Rocket is talking crap.

Germans are pretty proud of people like Einstein, Marx etc.
They are also pretty proud about non-jewish people like Thomas Mann and Bertolt Brecht who were not jewish but flew also.

Most Germans are aware about the fascist bullsh** that lead Germany to the loss of a wonderful culture for about 12 years of dictatorship.
This culture wasn't a jewish one, but a german one - Paris, Berlin, here was culture in the 20s and 30s before Hitler came.

So it's a pitty that someone like Rocket talks without having aclue. Possibly he thinks that we are still in WW2... poor him...

He was not that smart so what is there to be proud of?

Most Germans don't know who he is, all of his works were burned along with Sigmund Freud's and Karl Marx's and other brilliant authors just for being Jewish even though Karl Marx had a Jewish mother he lived in Germany (Prussia) so long he started hating Jews as well,

some Germans actually do know who he is but most dont even realize he was the smartest to ever live because Germans dont even know the theory of relativity and its impact on physics and most Germans dont know what e=mc^2 is, some just dont want to accept it Einsteins legacy because he is Jewish

Germans just love burning things, burning millions of books, burning 12 million innocent people

Germans cant see the value of Einstein because their definition of science involves torturing people, killing and mutilating children, using poisonous chemicals on people to study the effects.
