A true genius admits that he/she knows nothing.
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist best known for developing the theory of relativity, who also made important contributions to quantum theory. His mass-energy equivalence formula has been called the world's most famous equation, and he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
He moved to Switzerland in 1895, studied at the Swiss federal polytechnic school in Zurich, and later secured a permanent position at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern. In 1914 he moved to Berlin to join the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Books such as The World As I See It and Ideas and Opinions are among his most quoted works in our library.

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one.
I have little patience with scientists who take a board of wood, look for its thinnest part, and drill a great number of holes where drilling is easy.

Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.
