David kim violin biography of albert einstein

May 17, at PM &#; Physics, like many disciplines, requires total dedication as well as natural ability.

For many years I did little else beyond the hard study required to get though undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. As with the violin, the ranks of professional physicists are selected from those who emerge top of their classes and gain brilliant doctorates at international-class universities.

Albert Einstein the Violinist

I'm, sure I could be forgiven for not playing the violin as well as many of the contributors to this web-site and I'm sure that Mr. Einstein can similarly be forgiven.

Having studied relativity theory, I can assure you that it is most difficult! I have also read that physicists, especially theoretical physicists, have the highest average IQs of all professional groups (around as opposed to an average of for experimental physicists, for medical doctors, for accountants etc, based on a study of over physicists internationally conducted several years ago).

Whether or not one believes in IQ testing (I do, up to a point), it is my observation that professional physicists really do have very fine intellects. However, the physicist's intellectual strengths may or may not go along with musical ability or interest. Some physicists I know seem to be socially autistic and lacking in interests other than their work.

Biography of thomas alva edison: Authority control databases. David Kim is a top-notch virtuoso, serving as concertmaster with the Philadelphia Orchestra and performing worldwide. Kim also serves as concertmaster of the All-Star Orchestra in New York City, a group gathered at the invitation of conductor Gerard Schwarz and made up of leading musicians from major orchestras across the United States. David Kim born 24 May [ 1 ] is a violinist born in Carbondale , Illinois [ 2 ] and was the only American to win a prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow , where he got sixth prize.

Many are very egotistical and supercilious about their intellects and their , and hold mythic conceptions of themselves and their research, which makes them a pain in the neck to deal with! Some are very aggressive people, with massive chips on their shoulders (my masters degree supervisor fell into this category).

I suppose that people like Heifetz, Kogan and others had extraordinary natural intellectual abilities and innate drive that they could have turned to other pursuits (including physics?) had they wished, but there is no evidence to go on.

So - what can you say, except that we are all different!

I am in a rigorous physics course right now in High school. My teacher is a very brilliant man. We just started Nuclear Physiscs and Relativity. Einstein is one of, if not, the brightest men that this world has ever seen. (Obviously he built onto the Newton-Galillean motion concepts and what not.)

For kicks: Did you know if you are at relativistic speeds in a space shuttle, the clock in your little "time capsule" if you will, seems like it is running just fine.

However, down here on earth, a scientist reads his clock and goes"Wow, I thought that shuttle was bigger, not to mention, they say they've been up there flying for 10 mintues. Why does my clock say they've been up there for 15?" Fact is, Einstein without testing this (We still cant today, relativistic speeds only have to be a tenth of the speed of light [c, the speed of light=3x10^8 m/s/10 is about 30,, m/s] or for us english folk, about 18, miles per SECOND.

He did this without formal observation. We now know this to be a theory, and the closest thing to truth, because of electron tests, but nevermind that. Einstein was a freaking geneous. If he knew how to play the violin on top of that, I would commend him.

May 18, at PM &#; I am sure that there is hope for the world, but I don't hold my breath.

You can learn a great deal by watching wildlife documentaries and reading about evolution (e.g. read Brian Sykes' works and those of Richard Dawkins). My feeling is that we are a species that has survived over the millenia because of some positive attributes (intelligence and cooperation) but also because of some not so positive attributes.

I hate to admit it, but I believe that violence is built into us to the extent that even the best that culture and learning have to offer will not eradicate it completely. Witness the barbarity last century of a nation that had schools, universities, religion, art and music - and that produced Beethoven and Brahms - Germany!

Since working in the public sector, I have frequently been astonished at who climbs to the top within our organisations. Is it usually the most intelligent, the best leaders, those with the most commmon decency and integrity? More often than not the answer is no! It is often the most pushy, the most domineering, self confident and selfish people.

This is because we make the mistake of equating ambition and self assurance with leadership, and once the bullies are abroad, most of us are unwilling to do anything about them, usually because of fear (i.e. the professional bully gets away with second rate treatment of staff because other staff don't want his malice trained on them). And that is why we will always have our Hitlers!
