IS EINSTEIN’S RELATIVITY ‘JEWISH’?

Yes and No. Interpreting physical reality and sacred texts from multiple vantage points.

 

INTRODUCING STEPHEN ROSEN

Physicist Stephen Rosen learned relativity from Professor Banesh Hoffmann -- a colleague, friend, collaborator and biographer of Albert Einstein. 

At the Institut d’Astrophysique in Paris and Centre d’Etudes Nucleaire in Saclay he was Visiting Scientist researching nuclear astrophysics and cosmic radiation.  

At Los Alamos National Laboratory and a prominent think tank during the cold war, he addressed issues of national defense and science policy. After glasnost and perestroika, he was honored for helping over 400 Russian émigré scientists from the former Soviet Union find employment in their specialties in the U.S

    

         Dr. Rosen’s physics articles have appeared in science journals Physical Review, NatureNuovo Cimento; his op-ed and popular essays appear in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The East Hampton Star.  His best-selling book Future Facts (S&S: 80,000 copies) is listed as one of 100 important books of the 20th century. Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann said his book, Career Renewal (co-authored with his wife Celia Paul) “is the ultimate self-help manual for the intelligent job seeker”. ####
