Facts and figures on the first and greatest Einstein formula made of Neopor
 |
...consists of a steel skeleton structure, more than 350 square metres of glass fibre laminate and 210 kilos of sprayed plastic.
...has a lacquered surface of 70 square metres.
...required the work of more than 100 people from the planning stage to construction and installation.
...was created by young designers at the advertising agency Scholz & Friends.
...contains the innovative material Neopor® which was developed by BASF AG as the insulating material of the future. The invention of Neopor® enabled the energy-saving “hundred-miles-to-the-gallon” house to be built.
...is coated in a novel three-layer metal lacquer developed by BASF Coatings AG in Münster.
...was built by EDAG, in Fulda, a specialist firm in the field of Engineering and Design.

Did you know that...?
...Einstein’s dissertation was rejected by the University of Zürich on the grounds that it was too short. He lengthened it by adding one single sentence, and then it was accepted.
(Source: Die Zeit, 16 December 2004.)
...Einstein was convinced that he would be awarded the Nobel Prize. He included the prize money in the divorce agreement that he made with his first wife – four years before the Nobel Prize Committee awarded it to him.
(Source: Focus, 20 December 2004)
...with the energy that is contained in one kilo of sand according to Einstein’s formula e = mc², an ocean steamer the size of the Titanic would be able to sail around the world’s oceans for about 75 years
(Source: Der Spiegel, 17 January 2005.)
...shortly before the outbreak of the First World War, Einstein, together with a doctor by the name of Georg Friedrich Nicolai, drew up an appeal for pacifism.
(Source: Ingo Tessmann, “Gegen den Marxismus”, 1996. See also Einstein’s “Appeal to the Europeans”, 1914)
...the FBI collected 1,427 pages of material about Einstein as a suspected communist and that the US Government recommended withdrawal of his citizenship.
(Source: Focus, 20 December 2004.)
...in 1944, one of Einstein’s manuscripts was auctioned for $6.5 million.
(Source: Der Spiegel, 17 January 2005.)
...Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952. (Source: Kerstin Schmidt-Denter, in: geoscience, 22 March 2001)
...after his death, Einstein’s brain was dissected into 240 parts. The pathologists sent tissue samples for further research to mainly rather dubious experts in Venezuela, Canada and China.
(Source: Der Spiegel, 17 January 2005.)
...Germany comes third on the list of Nobel Prize winners, behind the USA and Great Britain.
(Source: Nicole Hilbrandt, Conducting Research in Germany, at: www.kompetenznetze.de, Medical Engineering, 2006.)
...the number of foreign scientists working in research and development institutions in this country is unusually high. Germany is second only to the USA as the world’s biggest research location for multinational companies.

Quotations
“The most beautiful thing that we can experience is the mysterious. It is the basic feeling that stands by the cradle of true art and science. Anyone who does not know it, and can no longer stand in wonder and astonishment, is as good as dead and the light of his eyes has gone out.”
Albert Einstein (Source: “Mein Weltbild”, 1934)
“How can it be that nobody understands me but everyone likes me?”
Albert Einstein (Source: Einstein in an interview with the New York Times, 1942)
“Einstein was a physicist, not a philosopher. But the naïve directness of his questions was philosophical.”
Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker (Source: “Albert Einstein and his influence on physics, philosophy and politics”, 1979)
“Science is the theory of the real.”
Martin Heidegger (Source: “Wissenschaft und Besinnung”, 1954)
“The history of the sciences is a gigantic fugue in which the voices of the peoples are coming more and more to the fore.”
Johann Wolfgang Goethe (Source: “Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre oder die Entsagenden” (novel), 2nd version, 1829)
“It is the task of the natural sciences not only to widen experience but also to impose order on this experience.”
Niels Bohr (Source: http://de.wikiquote.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr)
“You! The research in the laboratory. If they tell you tomorrow to invent a new death as a cure for the old life, there is only one thing to do: Say no!”
Wolfgang Borchert (Source: “Dann gibt es nur eins!”, 1947)
