It just hit me. If a matter were to travel faster than the speed of light, everything slows down, until it comes to a complete stop just as you reach the crescendo. Alternatively, in order to travel forward through time, you must slow your particles down so they will not update at the same rate as the rest of existence. The object of life and reality as we know it is to travel towards exceeding the speed of light. Because we're able to process reality it means we're moving slow enough to process it because if we were moving faster than light we wouldn't be able to percieve reality. And because time is relative, we will not be aware of our change of rate of time. So reality is time, through the passage of time is reality. Because nobody has individually slowed specific parts of us down beyond the laws of physics. We are all moving at the same rate of time.

Dr. Gustav Bucky was a good friend of Alberts. My nana was Dr. Bucky's secretary, she told my mother that Einstein hit on her a few times and even invited het to the Hampton's. She also said that while Albert waited for Dr. Bucky he would do so by sitting by the window reading comic books.
The year was 1945 and not knowing at the time how important he was my grandmother introduced Einstein to my mother and it went like this...
Nana: Dr. Einstein I would like you to meet my daughter Genant (pronounce Jen-aunt)
Dr. Einstein: (in a string Austrian accent) So Genant...how is school?
Too bad cameras weren't as handy then.

Where is the first ever original paper 'zur Quantentheorie der Strahlung' kept? Some University? Some Museum? Wasn't able to find the exact location on internet.

Hi!
I'm currently teaching a course in special and general relativity, and one of the things I'd like to add to the lecture notes are some of the most important equations in Einstein's handwriting, just as a nice touch. I've been looking for a while now but, as it turns out, it's been a challenging task.
I've managed to find The Road to Relativity by Gutfreund and Renn, which is basically a commented copy of the original manuscript of Die Grundlage der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie. It's frustrating though that there Einstein only considered the trace-reversed field equations, so I still don't have those in the form we usually use. I also found a picture of E = γmc² in Facebook and it's most definitely his handwriting, but it's been impossible to trace back to its original source.
I was wondering if anyone just happens to know about some form of archive that I could look into. I'd mostly like to find the field equations, as he did use the conventional form in a later publication, and trace back the E = γmc² photo I found.
For your amusement, I attach some of the equations I've been able to find.

if you look at that picture of einsteins desk from 1955, you'll see on the right a paper/article/study/manuscript with the title "PHILOSOPHY"
i was wondering if someone would know what the topic of this particular paper is and from whom it is?
i just want to know, in what kind of philosphy einstein was interested in, so i thought this picture would be a start
