Art Bébé says ‘First of the visions for Art Bébé, & the first signature image produced by the super talents of the Art Bébé Project’s visual director, Edward Rocha, the classic image of the superhero on a rooftop looking down on the city they have been called to watch over. No surprise it got the title, ‘Looking Down,’ and has become page 2 of the comic in progress, making this powerful opening statement for Art Bébé.

Art Bébé says, ‘all excerpts on this post taken from Subtle is the Lord … The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein, by Abraham Pais.‘
Science, more than anything else, was Einstein’s life, his devotion, his refuge, and his sense of detachment.
It must have been around 1950. I was accompanying Einstein on a walk from The Institute for Advanced Study to his home, when he suddenly stopped, turned to me, and asked me if I really believed that the moon exists only if I look at it. The nature of our conversation was not particularly metaphysical. Rather, we were discussing the quantum theory, in particular what is doable and knowable in the sense of physical observation.
We walked on and continued talking about the moon and the meaning of the expression to exist as it refers to inanimate objects …. I wondered … why does this man, who contributed so incomparably much to the creation of modern physics, remain so attached to the nineteenth century view of causality?
When Einstein was fifty yeas old, he wrote in the introduction to the biography by his son-in-law Randolph Kayser, ‘What has been over looked is the irrational, the inconsistent, the droll, even the insane, which nature, inexhaustibly operative, implants in an individual, seemingly for her own amusement. But these things are singled out only in the crucible of one’s own mind.’
It became clear to me from listening to them both – Einstein & Bohr – that the advent of quantum mechanics in 1925 represented a far greater break with the past than had been the case with the coming of special relativity in 1905 or of general relativity in 1915. That had not been obvious to me earlier, as I belong to the generation which was exposed to ‘ready-made’ quantum mechanics. I came to understand how wrong I was in accepting a rather widespread belief that Einstein simply did not care anymore about the quantum theory. On the contrary, he wanted nothing more than to find a unified field theory which not only would join together gravitational and electromagnetic forces but also would provide the basis for a new interpretation of quantum phenomena. About relativity he spoke with detachment, about the quantum theory with passion. The quantum was his demon. I learned only much later that Einstein had once said o his friend Otto Stern, ‘I have thought a hundred time as much about the quantum problems as I have about general relativity theory’.
We know that science cannot grow out of empiricism alone, that in the construction of science we need to use free invention which only a posteriori can be confronted with experience as to its usefulness … What is strict Newtonian causality? As for example, if I give you the precise position and velocity of a particle at a given instant, and if you know all the forces acting on it, then you can predict from Newton’s laws the precise position and velocity of the particle at a later time. Quantum theory implies, however, that I am unable to give you that information about position and velocity with ideal precision, even if I have the most perfect instrumentation at my disposal.
Then came a year of silence, followed by the outpouring of papers in 1905. I do not know what his train of thoughts were during 1904. His personal life changed in two respects: his position at the patent office was converted from temporary to permanent status. And his first son was born. Whether these helped promote the emergence of Einstein’s genius I cannot tell, though I believe the arrival of the son have been a profound experience. Nor do I know a general or complete characterization of what genius is, except that it more than an extreme form of talent and that the criteria for for genius are not objective. I not with relieve that the case for Einstein as genius will cause even less of an argument than the case for Picasso and much less of a case than the case for Woody Allen, and I do hereby declare that – in my opinion – Einstein was a genius.
Nevertheless, Einstein’s preoccupation with the fundamental questions of statistical mechanics was extremely vital since it led to this important contribution to the quantum theory. It is no accident that the term Boltzmann’s principle, coined by Einstein, appears for the first time in his March 1905 paper on the light-quantum.
Einstein’s involvement with statistical physics began in 1902 and lasted until 1925, when he made his last major contribution to physics: his treatment of the quantum statistics of molecules. Again, and for the last time, he applied fluctuation phenomena with such mastery that they led him to the very threshold of wave mechanics. The links between the contribution of Einstein, de Broglie, and Schroedinger, make clear that wave mechanics has its roots in statistical mechanics – unlike matrix mechanics, where the connection between the work of Bohr, Heisenberg, and Dirac followed in the first instance from studies of the dynamics of atoms.
The history of the discovery of general relativity is more complicated. It is a tale of a tortuous path. No amount of simplification will enable me to match the minihistory of special relativity given earlier. In the quantum theory, Planck started before Einstein. In special relativity, Lorenz inspired him. In general relativity, he starts the long road alone. His progress is no longer marked by that light touch and deceptive ease so typical of all his published work in 1905.
