Einstein Desk
Sunday, January 25, 2009 by Unknown
Stacks of papers, envelopes and a half to write formulas.
These images of Albert Einstein's desk in his office at Princeton were published by Life magazine in 1955, just months before his death.
They can contemplate a blackboard full of equations, a pile of old magazines and even his own pipe momentarily abandoned on one of the notebooks
We can see, what looks like a dress, some books, a copy of a journal of philosophy and even a glass ashtray.
Under the piles of papers were lost atisban pens and unopened letters, documents that might contain the key to the unified theory, which invested unsuccessfully in recent years of his life.
At the center of the picture there is a photo of what looks like a square, not people. What Einstein was thinking minutes before it reached the photographer?
On the advantages and disadvantages of having a messy desk authentic treaties have been written, some of whom argue
that chaos can be more productive than an order too strict. However, nothing like the quote attributed to Einstein himself supposed to put things in place:
"If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, then what are we to think of an empty desk?"
