Einstein, Dirac, Godel, Selberg, Harish-Chandra in Princeton

These are Steve Gelbart's family movies of when his father, Abe Gelbart, took them to Princeton in 1947 and met with many scientific luminaries.

In order of appearance:
opening scene: Atle Selberg at left, Carl Ludwig Siegel at right (the middle two people are unknown)

Around 33 seconds: Einstein

1:06 Godel on left

1:25 Selberg at the right, his wife Heddy in the middle

1:41 Paul Erdos (left) and Hermann Weyl (right)

3:01 Paul Dirac at right, and his student Harish-Chandra at left

And in the last second, Steve Gelbart along with his twin brother Bill, and their mother.

I am not; but these gentlemen are...poets that find out the symmetries of our universe and write those lyrics down in another language - math.

@naishjam His personal beliefs are one thing, but the published criticism he did of QM is opposite from posing a danger, it was necessary. You can't go back in time and tell how QM was correct, because at that time different views were natural, with Einstein as one pole. His colleges in Germany betrayed his people. Yet the first thing his theory was used for, was to kill people. Whatever you think about Einstein, he may be trying to slow down QM to not make more weapons. We don't know.

@bvssvni As for the "shit" Einstein went through, any academic goes through "shit" during their career. People disagree, often forcefully, but it's rarely personal. The fact that someone goes "through shit" should have no bearing on our attitude towards their ideas. Finally, here's one irrefutable fact: Einstein got it wrong. He couldn't accept QM and he couldn't explain phenomena which QM can. If Einstein had prevailed, and QM had been rejected, it would have been a major setback to physics..
