Epstein Secrets

determined by phenomena that lie well beneath the surface of our experience—phenomena that don't rely in any way upon our existence. In this sense, Einstein was wrong: "God" does appear to play dice with the universe, or universes. So far we have been lucky. But like playing at the craps table, our luck

I bring this up here because perhaps the true mark of Einstein's ge- nius was not his mathematical prowess (although, contrary to conven- tional wisdom, he was mathematically talented), but his creativity and hi

Newton was convinced that light was made of particles, which he re- ferred to as corpuscles, while Descartes, and later Newton's nemesis Robert Hooke, and still later the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens, all claimed that light was a wave.

on to win Nobel Prizes for Physics in 1956 and 1968, respectively. There are many similar anecdotes: Apparently stupid people go on to great things. Einstein’s teacher famously stated he would never amount to anything and Sir John Gurdon’s school report said he was ‘too stupid’ for science. He went on to d

He spent a long time looking skeptically at everything we perceive. For example, when we poke a stick into a

The philosopher, Descartes, who famously said, “I think therefore I am” got it backwards. I am—I was, I will be—therefore I think what I think. The ability to think is inborn—a
