Albert Einstein

ji HE FAME of Albert Einstein was made up of three strands. There was first JL the scientific achievement, which was and will remain the inner core of his reputation. Second was the change in philosophic outlook which he brought to this century, and which made relativity an everyday word. And third was the wide humanity, the sympathy with the best in all men, which in his later years made his own name more familiar a word even than rela- tivity. These three strands were not separate in Einstein's mind; the professional scientist was not insulated from the philosopher, nor the philosopher from the man. Einstein was a single personality, who looked with the same direct and penetrating vision at science, at the world, and at men, so that every- thing that he did has an unforced unity. If his character and his achievement can be summed up in one word, the word is "single-minded." In all that he did, Einstein was a thinker. And he proved in all he did that the life of the mind does not atrophy the human conscience. He was something more than a great man; he was a whole man. His life was as single as his mind.

Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family in South Germany on March 14, 1879. His father did not do well in business, and tried to do better by moving first to Switzerland and later to Italy. The boy Albert ran away from the German school where he had been left, because he disliked its discipline. Even then he was already much occupied with his own questions about na- ture. In some autobiographical notes that Einstein wrote towards the end of his life, he recalls two such boyhood memories. One was his fascination at seeing, when he was only four or five, a compass needle steadily pointing north however it was moved about: at that moment, he says, he grasped that the laws of nature are universal. The other was his being given a geometry book when he was about ten, and from it making up for himself a proof of the famous theorem of Pythagoras. The young Einstein went to college in Switzerland, but he was not out- standing there, and he continued to be more absorbed in his own specula- tions than in the official syllabus in physics. He did not get a university post after he had taken his degree, and instead he had to take a job as a minor official in the Swiss patent office. He went on doing his own thinking in the evenings, and he was still working in the Swiss patent office when he pub- lished his first great papers in 1905. This was the annus mirabilis, the wonderful year in which the young man

°f ^^ Einstein's career' see AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 480 ALBERT EINSTEIN 481 of twenty-six wrote papers which made remarkable advances in three separate branches of physics. Two of these papers are concerned, in different ways, with the behavior of the world on its smallest scale—a single atom of matter, a single photon of light. It had recently been shown that these tiny events do not behave in the smooth and continuous manner of the larger events with which we are familiar in everyday life; and Einstein's papers were among the first to elucidate the strange laws of the small scale. Einstein continued to be a pioneer in the understanding of the new laws of the microscopic world for the next ten years, and this was the work for which he was given the Nobel Prize in 1921. But of course the outstanding paper in 1905 was the third, in which Ein- stein set out the theory of relativity. Here the searching mind could be seen at work, looking simply and directly into our experience of nature, so that from this fundamental examination the bold conclusions flowed of them- selves. The paper became widely known at once, and made Einstein not merely a scientific but an intellectual leader. He made a deep impression on his fellow scientists at what have become historic meetings in 1909 and 1911. He held professorships at Prague and then in Switzerland, and by 1914 a special post had in effect been created for him as director of the Kaiser Wil- helm Research Institute for Physics in Berlin. The life of a thinker cannot be separated from his thought, and we shall not enter the personality of Einstein if we do not take some pains to follow the way in which he thought. We must therefore pause in his biography and look into his mind as it faced the world of physics at that time. The world of physics was running fairly well, but there were some excep- tions, small but irritating, which nagged at the peace of mind of more thoughtful scientists. True, the triumphant laws in which Isaac Newton, more than two hundred years before, had given order to nature could still be tested, day in and day out, and found right almost everywhere. But only al- most everywhere: there were three exceptions. The planet Mercury was not quite keeping time. The speed of light refused to behave as classical physics expected. And the electrons which had been discovered recently seemed to change their mass as they changed their speed. These could of course be taken as three minor irregularities, and most physicists took them so. They could not ignore them, but for the most part they were content to look for small ways to tinker with Newton's laws so that they might cover these exceptions. The minor adjustments were not getting physics forward, and it is charac- teristic that Einstein never had any truck with them. From the outset he looked for no ingenious gloss on the laws of physics, and for no minute error of formulation. Instead, he set himself to reach the unwritten assumptions on which the laws themselves were built, and it was there that he looked for the flaw in the physics of his day. Put in scientific terms, these assumptions were that space and time are given to us absolutely. They are, as it were, fixed boxes in which the events of the world occur, and they are the same for every observer. Put more gen- erally, the assumptions take for granted that there exists a sharp division be- tween the observer and the natural world which he observes. Classical physics 482 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK saw nature as a chain or network of events which unrolls itself in imper- turbable sequence, and of which the observer is a witness but not a link. What Einstein from the outset asked about this majestic view was not whether it is tenable, in some abstract sense—whether it can be metaphysi- cally defended—but whether it is practical. Does science in fact record im- personal events? Can it separate the fact from the finding, and distill the event from our observation of it? Once the question is asked, the answer is plain; and the answer is, No. Physics as we actually practice it does not con- sist of events; it consists of observations. And between the event and those who observe it there must pass a signal, a ray of light perhaps, a wave or an impulse, which simply cannot be taken out of the observation. Event, signal, and observation: this is the relationship which Einstein recognized as the fundamental unit in physics. Relativity is the understanding of the world not as events but as relations. Something like this had been said by philosophers for some time: that sci- ence must get rid of abstractions and make its system only out of what is in fact observed. Einstein himself acknowledged his intellectual debt to other philosophers who had looked realistically at the way in which the procedures of science are carried out. But it is one thing to lay down a philosophic dic- tum about science, and another to persuade the man in the laboratory or with the slide rule that such speculations really have a bearing on his work. Einstein was the first practising scientist who took this philosophy seriously, as something more than a pious impractical hope. He put it into equations, and within a few years physicists were astonished to find that it explained the erratic behavior of Mercury, and predicted the bending of light near the sun. It had linked mass with energy from Einstein's first papers. There are thus two characteristics to be remarked in Einstein's thought. One is that it always reaches down to fundamentals: it is a searching thought. The other is that it is always looking for relations; it is a unifying thought. This is the rare combination which marks the greatest minds. Lesser minds, when they are searching, usually find differences and not likenesses; and when they are unifying minds, they usually cover only the surface of several subjects. It is the remarkable achievement of Einstein that, looking always at fundamentals, he discovered new unities between space and time, between mass and energy, and between gravity and the behavior of his own space- time. The last of these unities was put forward by Einstein in the more general theory of relativity which he published in 1915. Before this, however, the first world war had broken out, and it involved Einstein in a battle with authority which was characteristic of, and perhaps influenced, his whole life. When war broke out in 1914, the German government was anxious to muster intellectual support for its ambition, and it put pressure on its lead- ing men to make a public statement on its behalf. Eighty-three of the leaders in science and the arts were persuaded to sign a manifesto in support of the German actions, which was addressed "an die Kulturwelt." The list of those who signed makes sad reading; Einstein did not sign. He and three others issued a countermanifesto against militarism. He was then, as he always was ALBERT EINSTEIN 485 afterwards, fearless in his love of peace; and then as afterwards, German patriots did not forgive him. Even as a young man, Einstein had chosen to take Swiss rather than Ger- man nationality when he had the chance, because the regimentation of Ger- many had outraged him. He chose to become a German again after the de- feat and the revolution of 1918 as a gesture of support to the new Weimar Republic Alas, the Weimar Republic did little to save him from attack, on two flanks, when the fame of his work made him a public figure after 1919. The history of these years is absorbing, and throws its shadow over Ein- stein's career. In 1914, he was outstanding among young scientists, something of an innocent and an enfant terrible, and an acknowledged leader. His repu- tation, however, lay only among scientists; no one else had heard of him. In 1915 he published the general theory of relativity. The fundamental concept which he examined here was that of force. He pointed out that we have no way of telling whether a bullet which flies past the sun is really drawn towards it by a force of gravity, or whether the sun distorts the space- time in which it flies. The force of gravity is something that we invent in order to explain the behavior of things near massive bodies such as the sun and the earth. Einstein was always suspicious of such explanations, and he could show that physics would be more unified if gravity were replaced by a distortion of space-time. It is of course an attractive picture to say that a massive body, such as the sun, distorts the space-time in which it lies; it forms, as it were, a hollow round itself, and when a bullet flies past the sun, it slips into this hollow. But if this is to be meaningful, it must be more than a picture. If what it describes is truly a distortion of space and time, then everything which crosses the sun's hollow must be drawn inwards; not only a bullet but a ray of light as well. This exciting implication can be put to practical test, and English scientists (although they were then at war with Germany) at once planned to do so at the next total eclipse, which would occur in the spring of 1919. They announced their findings in November 1919, at one of the most dramatic meetings ever held at the Royal Society in London. The findings tallied with Einstein's forecast. Light does bend towards the sun, and by approxi- mately the amount which the general theory of relativity predicted. Einstein had made gravitation a behavior of space and time; and space and time, in re- venge, overnight made him a public figure for the world to quarrel over. On one side, of course, were the rising Nazis. To them, the world repu- tation of a Swiss Jew with pacifist ideas was particularly hateful, and they were sure that it must be false. At the very time when Einstein was winning a new respect for German science, they maligned him in fantastic ways, and made scenes whenever he appeared in public. When the city of Berlin pre- sented him with a lakeside house, they made it impossible for him to live there. Einstein was "un-German"—the phrase has a familiar ring—and every- thing that he did was suspect. At the same time, there was an equally noisy attack from the nationalists on the other side, across the Rhine. To Frenchmen with bitter memories of the long and bloody war, Einstein was a German scientist—a German of whom too much fuss was being made. When he went to lecture in Paris in 484 AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK 1922, he had to be hidden from French nationalists for fear that they would demonstrate against him. Nevertheless, he gave his lectures; and those who speak of his visit recall with pleasure that, as always, he brought his violin and played quartets with his fellow scientists. In the face of these feuds, Einstein received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. The cautious awarding committee avoided at least some of the disputes by making no reference to relativity in their citation. About this time, Ein- stein gave a casual press interview in which he said, with his characteristic mixture of foresight and humor, that he could think of two future discov- eries which might threaten mankind with annihilation: the discovery of atomic energy, and the discovery of how to read other people's thoughts. Work in Europe became more and more difficult for him, but he would not be deflected from his outspoken support of the ideals of liberal tolerance. At last, the power of Hitler made life impossible in Germany, and Einstein crossed the Atlantic to America in 1933. Seven years later, the Germans were in Paris, and the French nationalists who had once reviled him were openly collaborating with them. Einstein worked at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1932 almost until the day of his death, which occurred on April 18, 1955. His aim was what it had always been, to unify the different parts of physics in a single theory; he published his last Unified Field Theory in 1954. And to the end of his life, his method remained what it had been in his youth: to reach this unity by examining not the surface but the fundamentals of physical thought. He remained as simple, as searching, and as modest a worker in •his seventies as he had been in his twenties. To the world, however, his life in America was dominated by something else than science. He had been a heroic figure since the countermanifesto against German imperialism in 1914, and in America he was the symbol and the champion of international idealism. Everyone wanted his help, and he never stinted it. He took a lead in bringing scientists and other men in need from Germany. He was particularly active in helping refugee students and •children. And at all times his greatest anxiety was for oppressed Jews every- where. For them he was willing to do the things which were most difficult for him: to plead for funds, to auction a manuscript, and once even to play his violin in public. He constantly worked for the United Jewish Appeal, and thereby did much to make it so important a success. The approach of the second world war put him to an even more severe test of conscience. Early in 1939, a number of refugee physicists privately dis- cussed with him recent discoveries which made it likely that the energy in the atom could be released explosively. These discoveries were known in Germany; indeed, some of them had been made there; and Einstein had now to ask himself what might happen if Hitler had the monopoly of them. Up to this time he had been a pacifist. Now it seemed to him that, like other doctrines, pacifism had to be looked at afresh to see whether it fitted the facts of the world as it then was. On August 2, 1939, Einstein broke with a lifetime of pacifist belief as only he could have done. He wrote to tell Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt what his colleagues had told him, and that in his view it meant that an atomic bomb might be made. And he advised ALBERT EINSTEIN 485 Roosevelt that, since work on atomic fission was in progress (ironically, at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute) in Berlin, it must be feared that the Germans would try to make such a bomb. The marvelous youth who at twenty-six had first equated mass with energy now at sixty saw the equation threaten the world. Einstein lived his last years quietly in a suburban house in a suburban street in Princeton. He was saddened by the events in which the last war ended and which followed it. Towards the end of his life he said of his letter to Roosevelt: "Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in producing an atomic bomb, I would not have lifted a finger." Yet he was in no doubt that, under the looming threat of Nazi tyranny in 1939, he had made the only choice open to a man of conscience. He gave his support now specifically to places of learning: the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Weizmann Institute of Science, the Albert Ein- stein Medical Center in Philadelphia, and the Yeshiva University College of Medicine. One greater honor he refused. On the death of his fellow scientist Chaim Weizmann, the first President of Israel, he refused the Presidency of Israel which was offered to him, on the grounds that he had "neither the natural ability nor the experience to deal with human beings." Yet he was endlessly good-humored and happy with human beings. He was patient even with the many strangers who sneaked up to his front porch and had their wives photograph them as if they were just coming out of the great man's house. If Einstein had any impatience left, it was to the end, as it had always been, impatience with authority and the intolerance that he saw growing about him. Einstein was one of the intellectual heroes of history; and all such heroes are twofold—rebels in their work, and heretics in society. He made all his beliefs, even his religious beliefs, for himself; they were not the beliefs ac- cepted by others, yet they share a universal idealism and faith in men. He prized the integrity of man's personality more highly than man's science. He saw deeply into nature, her promise and her threat, but he was not too ab- stracted to remember the fallibility of men. For him the key to the world lay in the minds of men. He fought for freedom of the mind from his rebellious schooldays and the manifesto of 1914 to his dying day. His love for freedom was passionate, but it was part of a greater passion for all who suffered. He loved people; he loved his own people. JACOB BRONOWSKI
