   Albert Einstein
   ...
   Let's take Al "Chainsaw" Dunlap former CEO of Scott Paper, the paper conglomerate and Sunbeam, the famous household appliance maker as an example of commonsense case. He was nicknamed "Chainsaw" for good reason; he exemplified a slash-and-cut management style that endeared him to stockholders but drew vilification from workers whose jobs he mercilessly decimated. His business acumen was beyond reproach; in fact, whenever news of his hiring as CEO of a company broke the stock value of the company jumped significantly. As times changed and when management styles and business demands required a new and set of competencies, He kept his brash swashbuckling style. While his business decisions were finding its target, the morale of his workers were falling off the mark. Although he kept his keen strategies and management style, he missed a critical element that could have helped him tremendously.

   This adaptation of Alan Lightman's popular novella does not simply represent the search by Albert Einstein for a correct theory of time but boldly examines our own perceptions of it.
   ...
   We part company, however, on the conception of Einstein himself.
   ...
   Both novel and stage production center on a series of hypothetical dreams a 26-year-old Albert Einstein has in Berne, Switzerland, in the spring and early summer of 1905.
   ...
   Albert Einstein, we are told, was obsessed by his dreams, which enlightened him on several aspects of time - what is it, how does it work, how does it travel, and what is its effect on mankind in general.
   ...
   At least, that's how it happens in "Einstein's Dreams." This world premiere show, written by Kipp Erante Cheng, adapted from the book of the same title by Alan Lightman, is an ensemble account of what was happening inside (and outside) Einstein's (Eric Dean Scott's) brain while his mental energies were spent upon this question: How do we quantify time, define it, understand it.
   ...
   This woman is Lieserl, a child born of Einstein and Mileva before their marriage, and offered up for adoption. History does not note her whereabouts after that point.
   ...
   But Einstein could not even begin to tell him.
   
   This cast is made up of 17 players, two of which - Einstein and Lieserl - were brought down from the Big Apple with the director of this production, Rebecca Holderness, who among many other accomplishments directed Burning Coal's "Love's Labors Lost" last summer.
   ...
   They provide a backdrop, interact in scenes as needed, but generally keep the pace going, going until Einstein finally wakes, the last piece has fallen, and in a Eureka-like shout, sends his multiple pages of notes flying high above his head.
   
   The reason I can tell you all this is, first, everybody knows a little about Einstein; everybody has heard of E=m(c) squared.

   While Edison was accepted in Soviet Russia, Albert Einstein was not even mentioned in our school physics textbooks.
   ...
   In 1914, at the age of 35, Einstein, a Jew who did not conceal his pro-Jewish sentiments, left Switzerland for Germany, adopted German citizenship, and became-the director (!) of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physics Institute in Berlin.
   ...
   Yet Einstein never thought of emigrating from Germany, until 1933; that is, 20 years later, after he had learned, while in the United States as a visitor, that Nazis had pillaged the home of the Einsteins in Germany.
   
   Why this devotion to the German empire of Wilhelm II?
   
   Emperors patronized elitist culture, whether in art or in science, accessible only to the few. Even today, in its "Biography of Albert Einstein," Yahoo! says: "At the time of the publication on the theory of relativity, the people that read the papers [by Einstein] met them with skepticism and ridicule. As the other papers were published, they were viewed the same way."
   
   Let us recall that Einstein received a Ph.D. in 1905 in order to get a "university position" and thus make a living but was unable to do so and had to work as a clerk in a patent office in Berne, Switzerland.
   ...
   Wilhelm II decided (correctly) that Einstein was not understood by many physicists because he was too great and hence sounded ridiculous if not insane to learned mediocrities.
   
   The other day I saw a television program on the origin of the earth. Flushed all over the screen was the photograph of Einstein. But what is amazing about Einstein is what the program did not mention.
   
   He postulated that there is no single time for the universe, but each point of it has its own space-time. The producers of the U.S. television program I saw did not say (in 2007!) a word about such important thoughts of Einstein from 1905 or 1912. Possibly they found those thoughts insane or did not want their audience to suppose that they (the producers) were insane.
   
   Einstein would not have been able to exist in a U.S. university in 1914. He would have been ousted by learned mediocrities who fill any university collective as its majority. But as the director of an Imperial institution, Einstein thrived, and in 1921, he received a Nobel Prize. Not for his "insane discoveries," but the prize helped him to thrive and publish his insane thoughts in Germany before Hitler came to power and the Aryan physicists declared his physics to be a Jewish degeneracy.
   
   The irony is that Germany had been nurturing Einstein since 1914, and in 1933 chased him out as a Jew, along with other Jewish physicists, into the United States. It was there that, in 1939, he wrote (at the request of Jewish émigrés) his famous Aug. 2 letter to President Roosevelt about the possibility of developing nuclear weapons ahead of Nazi Germany, that is, ensuring its defeat.
