Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance".
Einstein called nationalism "the measles of the human race".
Finally, exasperated, Einstein calls Newton over and opens a door on the atomic blast that destroyed Hiroshima.
Complementarity became the cornerstone of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics -- or as Einstein called it, "the Heisenberg-Bohr tranquilizing philosophy".
Einstein called this space-filling energy the cosmological constant, and he found that by finely adjusting its value, the repulsive gravity it produced would precisely cancel the usual attractive gravity coming from stars and galaxies, yielding a static cosmos.
In his 1905 paper on the electrodynamics of moving bodies, Einstein called attention to an apparent inconsistency in the usual presentation of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory as applied to the reciprocal action of a magnet and a conductor.
In this relaxed setting, take the time to differentiate among the Brownian (motion), Bodleian (library) and Boolean (logic) while following Mr. Gleick's version of what Einstein called "spukhafte Fernwirkung," or "spooky action at a distance".
An article in Science Times on Dec. 27 about efforts to test quantum theory referred incompletely to experiments that confirmed the synchronized movement of particles that Einstein called "spooky action at a distance".
That brought what Einstein called "the happiest thought" — that acceleration alters the effects of Newton's laws of gravity, which led to the idea that at the speed of light, energy and mass become interchangeable.
"Einstein called it 'spooky action at a distance.' " The process suggested in the paper begins by zapping crystals made of either potassium diphosphate and potassium triphosphate with small-wavelength laser light.
