Albert Einstein > Quotable Quote

“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it
seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour,
and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.”
---Albert Einstein

Relativity is only concerned with objective
Reality and explains Gravity as a “curvature
of spacetime”.
Interestingly however there is also a measurable
curvature of subjective reality. Hammond points
out that the curvature of subjective reality causes
what we call the “phenomenon of God”. See:
WORLD'S 1st SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF GOD

(Hammond YouTube 12-min)
and now that this later fact has been discovered by
modern Psychometry and Physics, it becomes an
interesting question whether Einstein ever suspected
this… did he realize Relativity provided the scientific
explanation of God as well as the scientific
explanation of Gravity?
And that question brings us to the famous quotatio
by Einstein above! Clearly Einstein is talking about
subjective reality, and he is suggesting that the theory of
Relativity has some causal bearing on it! Indeed, as the
above video shows, his suspicion was correct. In fact,
while the curvature of objective reality is very minute,
only thousandth’s of a degree, the curvature of
subjective reality is very large, tens of degrees! This ]
explains why the phenomenon of God looms so large
in World history.
Now to return to the matter at hand, in the above video I
claim to have discovered the fact that the “cubic brain” is
the biological cause of the long sought after “structural
model of personality”. Now I am well aware that the
average psychologist would look at that idea and simply
say: “look, you can’t just say the brain is cubic, and
therefore the structural model is psychometrically a
“cubic structure”; That’s just an analogy; you need
specific neurological evidence that the cubic brain would
actually cause such
a thing.
The fact of the matter is, that this specific neurological
evidence exists, and I have duly published it in the peer
reviewed literature. In 1994 I published the following paper:

Hammond, G.E. (1994)
The Cartesian Theory: Unification of Eysenck and Gray
https://tinyurl.com/yy7clqdx
New Ideas in Psychology, vol 12 No 2, pp 153–167, 1994

And on pages 160-162 you will find a complete description
with supporting evidence and references describing how
a heretofore unnoticed “decussation” in the Papez loop in
Gray’s septohippocampal system is the specific
neurological system connecting the 8 lobes of the cubic
brain and directly, neurologically, causing the cubic
psychometric structure of the Structural Model of
Personality.
Incidentally, as I noted in a private email to Prof. Paul
Barrett our IDANET moderator who was then a colleague
of JAG and Hans Eysenck at the IOP in London; that I wrote
a letter to Jeffrey A Gray years ago notifying him of this
“decussation” in his septohippocampal system, and much
to my chagrin I received back one of the most insulting and
nasty letters certainly in the annals of modern psychometry,
from Jeffrey Gray. I had told him that his monumental
efforts to unify his BIS–BAS system for the structural model
was easily effected “and obviously so” by this decussation
and he could stop banging his head against the wall trying
to do it! He got absolutely infuriated at me and told me not
to contact him any further. I had to smile when I realized
that I had found a true comrade in arms dedicated,
overworked and underappreciated! Anyway we were
reconciled later on when I published the paper and he sent
me a congratulatory letter.

Hi Bob C.,
The "pluralis majestatis" (majestic plural, "We") in this case is only
used to alert the polite, educated and sophisticated readers to the true caliber
of the material that he is reading. Why Einstein would publicly suggest that
his theory of relativity would explain the "time dilation" of "subjective
reality" is a very sophisticated and serious question. It is in fact tantamount
to the suggestion that relativity is, or might be, the scientific explanation of
the phenomenon of "God". Given the fact that Einstein was Jewish makes the
consideration of it being a homily all the more sobering!

"That's funny" is exactly what I said to myself when I first read
Einstein's 1929 remark about the hot plate and the pretty girl!

The "true caliber" of your post is quite evident; I'd say
around .22Short, Low Velocity. Or maybe even .22 Blank.

And you didn't say "we"; you referred to yourself by name;
it's still right there above. HTH.

( BTW, if you'd said "we" I'd have assumed you have a
tapeworm.)

In the September 2002 edition of Scientific American on page 102
senior editor Stephen Mirsky reproduced a 400 word "psychology paper"
allegedly written by Albert Einstein in 1938 and published in the Journal of
Exothermic Science and Technology, Vol 1, No 9, 1938.
He claims to have found this paper in the "local library" but he doesn't
say he actually had his hands on the journal itself! See the paper at
this URL: https://life-planning101.com/resources/einstein.html#top and I
suspect it is just a copy of the paper in Mirsky's 2002 SIAM article.
The Paper is well known around the world probably mostly due to the
SIAM article. Mirsky was author of the "Antigravity" column in SIAM which
probably engaged in a lot of anti-Einstein spoofing. What I'm wondering is if this so-called "psychology paper" is actually a HOAX ?
It could be real, since Einstein was known to publish obscure papers in
obscure journals now and then. For instance I read a paper by him on the
"Meandering of rivers" in a hydrodynamics journal! Although the reason for
that was a nominally because his son was a PhD in hydrodynamics.
At any rate if anyone knows anything about this paper and its bona fides
please post the information here or send me an email at:

After several hours of studying the matter, I have concluded that the Stephen Mirsky
article in SIAM is "fake news" and is actually Mirsky's idea of satirical humor! There
never was any such thing as the "Journal of exothermic science and technology"
and Einstein never published any such paper! My suspicion is that Mirsky fabricated
the entire fictional tale out of whole cloth! If anyone has any evidence to the contrary
I'd certainly like to hear about it !!

Hey, Bob, how's it going? I've been away from Usenet for months, came
back to see if Graham was active again, and instead see you talking to
Graham's mental inferior, George. The "tapeworm" bit made me laugh,
FWIW. If George has a tapeworm, it's in his cranium, not gut. I don't
know if I'll be back on Usenet much---it seems to have mostly dried up.
Anyway, cheers, and have fun with the loons.

Always.

BTW, I avoid talking *to* him; I simply comment on his
errors if they include my name.
