| Jun 25, 2023 at 20:34 | comment | added | Lukas Lohse | I would like to point out an important name on the certificate: Minkowski(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Minkowski), who might provide another source og the legend, since Einstein wasn't very good at higher mathematics by Minkowskis high standards. According to Max Born after special relativity was published, he said: "das hätte ich dem Einstein nicht zugetraut, der wußte in Zürich doch nichts" , which roughly translates to "I wouldn't have expected that, he didn't know anything in Zurich". | |
