One Seriously Funny Movie
In 1905 he discovered relativity... In 1906 he invented rock and roll.

Quotes:

Albert: I'm a Tasmanian

Albert Einstein: That's it! That's the theory of relativity! Light travels to us from the hands of the clock, to tell us the time. But, if we were to travel away from the clock at the speed of light...::Marie Curie: The hands of the clock would appear to have stopped!::Albert Einstein: Time would stand still! This moment *would* last forever.

Albert Einstein: Dad, I want to be a physicist.::Mr. Einstein: What do they grow, son?::Albert Einstein: They don't grow anything.::Mr. Einstein: Well what's the use of them then?

Albert Einstein: Just a moment Marie, I'm having an idea

Albert Einstein: If you can't trust the Governments of the world, who can you trust?

Brian Asprin: [Scientists in Australia are listening to Einstein playing Rock and Roll music on the radio] That's Albert's music.::Lunatic Professor: Yes, crikey yes! That's 4/4 time.::Ernest Rutherford: 4/4 time; that'll drain the power out of anything.::Marie Curie: [Scene returns to the Academy of science in France, Einstein continues to play the electric guitar, the 'Extreme Danger' warning light on the bomb flashes then goes out, the 'Overload' warning light starts flashing showing that the bomb is been drained of its energy] It's working. Whatever you are doing keep doing it, it's working!

Famous quotes by Ernest Rutherford:

"Don't let me catch anyone talking about the universe in my department"

"You should never bet against anything in science at odds of more than about 10-12 to 1"

"If your result needs a statistician then you should design a better experiment"

"The only possible interpretation of any research whatever in the 'social sciences' is: some do, some don't"

"We haven't got the money, so we've got to think!"

"Anyone who expects a source of power from the transformation of the atom is talking moonshine"

"The only possible conclusion the social sciences can draw is: some do, some don't"

"If your experiment needs statistics, you ought to have done a better experiment."

"All science is either physics or stamp collecting."

"Of all created comforts, God is the lender; you are the borrower, not the owner."

"You should never bet against anything in science at odds of more than about 1012 to 1."
