One of Einstein’s notebooks is posted online for everyone to see!


Sometimes, it feels like all the internet is a swirling vortex of cats, goats, and boobs that pulls us in just when we’re at our busiest. But every once in a while, we are reminded of the fact that the internet is also a storehouse full of weird and wonderful things, like Albert Einstein’s notebooks. After Albert Einstein died in 1955, a small, brown notebook was found amongst his papers. It contained all of his private calculations from 1907-1915. Aka: The period of time during which he was working on this theory of relativity, aka: One of the most important contributions to modern science. It is referred to as the Zurich notebook, and it is fully uploaded to the internet for all those who want a little peak into the brain of a genius. Check it out in the source! source : http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/Goodies/Zurich_Notebook/index.html
