All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling a person's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual toward freedom.' -Albert Einstein (YMCA Founder's Day Address) #Einstein #Science

'Einstein's life was rich in genius and irony, passion for the issues of his time, insights into education, the connection between science and politics, and a demonstration that in­dividuals can after all change the world.' -Carl Sagan newrepublic.com/article/1170... #Einstein #Science #physics

'Imagination reaches out repeatedly trying to achieve some higher level of understanding, until suddenly I find myself momentarily alone before one new corner of nature’s pattern of beauty and true majesty revealed. That was my reward.' -Richard Feynman #Feynman #Physics #Science #NobelPrize

Japanese theoretical physicist Hideki Yukawa's 湯川 秀樹 seminal contributions to particle physics represented such a "strong force," many great physicists wanted a selfie with him, including Niels Bohr, Richard Feynman, Albert Einstein, John Wheeler, and Paul Dirac (ESVA) #Science #Yukawa #Physics

Marie Skłodowska-Curie and Irène Joliot-Curie in 1925: an extraordinary mother-daughter team of scientists. Marie received two Nobel Prizes: Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911; Irène received a Nobel in Chemistry in 1935. #histSTM #WomenInSTEM #Science

What brilliant mathematician Emmy Noether was like as a Bryn Mawr College professor, according to her student Ruth McKee: 'The strange phenomenon was that from our point of view she was one of us, almost as if she too were thinking about the theorems for the first time.' bit.ly/2MPPih6 #Science

As Passover begins, we wish a meaningful celebration to all who celebrate. The story of Passover teaches us the importance of collective liberation and of strengthening our commitment to justice.

'If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music.' -Albert Einstein

A Popular Science reader once asked if Einstein had found the secret of the universe yet Einstein responded: 'It's not my fault that layman obtain an exaggerated impression of the significance of my efforts. Rather, this is due to [writers] who present everything sensationally' #Einstein #science

George Gamow and Ralph Alpher's article, published on April 1, 1948, postulating that all the chemical elements were made in the Big Bang made quite an impact. A startling Washington Post headline read "World Began in 5 Minutes," prompting Herb Block to release this funny cartoon #Science #Physics

One of Albert Einstein's great legacies is the International Rescue Committee @rescue.org, founded in 1933. Today, it continues its mission of aiding refugees around the world, including those displaced from their homes in times of war and natural disaster rescue.org/impact-glance #StandwithRefugees

Self promotion alert! My book A Pox on Fools, comes out on 5/26 (UK) & 6/9 (US). It's a history of vax opposition, tracing RFK Jr.'s anti-vax grift back to once-somewhat plausible fears. Its goal: to help readers debunk his BS for any persuadables they know. Preorders are a book's best friend!

“My grandfather Max Born... said, ‘The belief that there is only one truth and that oneself is in possession of it, seems to me the deepest root of all that is evil in the world.’ [My] grandfather’s words put it all into perspective for me. I agree with him.” -Olivia Newton-John #Science #Physics

Peaceful protest is the heartbeat of democracy, turning private concerns into public action. By protecting the right to dissent, we hold power to account and ensure every voice matters. I raise a #CupOfJoe to those using their voice for change. #NoKings

Just posted a round up of #NoKings photos from @hopiumchronicles.bsky.social community members from across the US and around the world. Enjoy all and thanks to all of you who made this inspiring day possible! www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/no-kings-p...

Thank you for making No Kings 3 the biggest day of mass protest that America has ever seen. #NoKings

German scientist Erwin Finlay-Freundlich tried to test an early version of Albert Einstein's gravitational theory in Crimea during the 1914 eclipse. World War I began. Russian officers accused Finlay-Freundlich of being a spy and arrested him before he could take measurements. #Science #Einstein

At a time of rising antisemitism, Albert Einstein spoke at the Jewish Student Conference of Germany in 1924. Tragically, it is likely that, within decades, the students in the group either had to either flee their homeland or were murdered by the Nazi regime.
