We are always pleased to hear from our readers. Over the course of the last several years, we have received many requests for further information, quote documentation or further clarifiaction on Einstein or physics. As much as we would like to, and as hard as we try, it is impossible for us to answer each and every request. However, to help out we have put together some frequently asked questions - and our answers, in order to help you as best as we can.

Albert Einstein Site - FAQ

Can you give us a reference for a particular Einstein quote?

Regrettably, we are unable to provide specific quote references or attributes. Many of Einstein's quotes are from one of the thousands of pieces of letters and correspondences that Einstein wrote over his lifetime. For most of the last 70 years the majority of that has been sealed, but recently a large percentage of his correspondence has been published.

I would like to discuss special relativity/general relativity/my own theories with one of your scientists - could you put me in touch?

We get some requests for discussion by people wishing to talk about Einsteins theories of relativity or, even about their own theories. Already, our scientists are putting in much time talking to journalists or giving public lectures, and in order not to put more demands on their time, we regretfully have to decline these requests.

To readers eager to discuss either Einstein's theories or their own, we would like to recommend the discussion forums listed in the previous answer.
