A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter, Lieserl on The Universal Force of Love

“When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer."

We've been having a blast reading through many topics, posts and discussions on here. It is clear a lot of you are extremely intelligent so we would like to open discussion for this topic.

We would be delighted to hear your thoughts on Determinism and Free Will and whether they can co-exist. :)

Brahms jammed at his parents house, Hitler was a classmate and young Ludwig wanted to invent the jet engine before he discovered that any proposition that could not be verified as true or false was meaningless.

For a particle traveling through space, the amplitudes of more or less straight paths all point essentially in the same direction, amplifying each other. But the amplitudes of winding paths point every which way, so these paths work against each other. Only the straight-line path remains, demonstrating how the single classical path of least action emerges from unending quantum options.

Is utopia possible? What are the limits of happiness? How depressed are immortals? The pondering starts here.

I give it to Foucault what do you think?

Fry and Hitchens take on the Archbishop and Tory MP

really simply, quotas are arbitrary and biased by definition. Sure they are dumb but at least they are different biases to a system that could benefit from it.

Not just talking about engineering justice into some internet utopia, this is about our survival as a species. That's the diversity that we need most, the kind that evolution likes, that shows up at the right time to be the key to survival.

For Chomsky, the "new AI"—focused on using statistical learning techniques to better mine and predict data— is unlikely to yield general principles about the nature of intelligent beings or about cognition.

Why isn't it a fundamental human right to work with whoever you chose regardless of where they were born?

“read well: i.e. slowly, profoundly, attentively, prudently, with inner thoughts, with the mental doors ajar, with delicate fingers and eyes.”

From one perspective - if we are all made in some grand 'Destiny' or plan, then our actions do have weight attached to them.

If however we are all born as a miraculous chance, do our actions really mean much? Does the homeless man really change the universe / future on the same scale as Jeff Bezos, or Isaac Newton had?

Do you think your actions are changing the world?

which one is going to win?
