Listen to American Minute
Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer
American Minute from William J. Federer
Born in Germany MARCH 14, 1879, he began teaching himself calculus at age 14.
With a doctorate from the University of Zurich, he wrote papers on electromagnetic energy, relativity, and statistical mechanics.
He predicted a ray of light from a distant star would appear to bend as it passed near the Sun.
When an eclipse confirmed this, the London Times ran the headline, November 7, 1919, “Revolution in science-New theory of the Universe-Newtonian ideas overthrown.”
This was Albert Einstein, who, in 1921, won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Describing the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein said:
“When a man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute. But let him sit on a hot stove for a minute-and it’s longer than any hour. That’s relativity.”
Einstein’s first visit to the U.S. was to raise funds for Jerusalem’s Hebrew University.
On his 3rd visit, 1932, he took a post at Princeton University.
When the National Socialist Workers Party took control of Germany, they barred Jews from holding official positions or teaching at universities. Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels proclaimed “Jewish intellectualism is dead” and burned Einstein’s works.
Commenting on redistribution of wealth, Albert Eistein stated:
“I am absolutely convinced that no wealth in the world can help humanity forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker in this cause. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds…Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus, or Gandhi armed with the moneybags of Carnegie?”
Einstein stayed in the United States, becoming a citizen in 1940.
Einstein’s theory of relativity, E=MC2, is the basis for applying atomic energy. He warning that Nazis could create the atom bomb led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to set up the Manhattan Project.
In November of 1952, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion asked Einstein to be Israel’s 2nd President, but he declined due to age, dying less than 3 years later. Being “deeply moved” by the offer, Einstein replied:
“My relationship with the Jewish people became my strongest human tie.”
The periodic table’s 99th element, discovered shortly after his death in 1955 was named “einsteinium.”
Albert Einstein was quoted in The New York Times, November 9, 1930, saying:
“I assert that the cosmic religious experience is the strongest and noblest driving force behind scientific research.”
Albert Einstein stated:
“God Almighty does not throw dice.”
and
“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds.”
Though not believing in a personal God, The Saturday Evening Post, October 26, 1929, published Albert Einstein’s interview with George Sylvester Viereck, in which Einstein stated:
“As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene…
“No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus.
“His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”
Princeton University’s Fine Hall has inscribed Albert Einstein’s words:
“Raffiniert ist der Herr Gott, aber Boshaft ist er nicht.” (God is clever, but not dishonest.)

A woman who described herself as a teacher of the U.S. Constitution has gone ballistic over Bradlee Dean’s ministry effort at a gasoline station in Florida to drum up support for its campaign to teach the ethics, morality and responsibility of the Bible in public schools. The woman verbally and physically attacked two ministry workers Elizabeth Ilse and Chase Schomberg.
The Boy Scouts of America recently decided they have greater loyalty to homosexual activists than to the God they pledge duty to and decided to allow homosexual boys to join the organization. Not to be left behind in the West's headlong plunge into immorality and insanity, the British equivalent of the Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, has decided to embrace narcissism over God.
Senator John Thune (R-S.D.), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, issued a statement today following the Senate’s rejection of his border security amendment (S. Amdt. 1197) to the immigration reform bill (S. 744). Thune’s amendment would have required construction of approximately 350 miles of reinforced, double-layer fencing, which was required by the immigration bill passed in 1996, as a trigger prior to Registered Provisional Immigrant (RPI) status being granted.
Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Jay Carney and President Obama all lied to us about Benghazi. Holder has lied to Congress and has been held in contempt. Lies have been told about many things, including the gathering of reporters' phone calls and the IRS targeting. Yet, people in the government and their agencies are surprised that we are doubtful as to the truthfulness of their words?
Soon after President Obama and his allies lost key votes in the U.S. Senate on their push for more federal gun control laws, they started pushing for immigration reform. Part of the purpose of the immigration reform drive is a stealth strategy against the Second Amendment and its supporters. Obama hopes that adding millions of new voters from among the illegal aliens who get citizenship will overwhelm American voters and politicians who support the Second Amendment.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
