Oh, we are all looking for THE answer. The secret of the universe. The way of the world. The reason “Why” of it all.
And who better than Mr. Smarty Pants to tell us. Yep. Here it is. Today is the Anniversary of Albert Einstein’s Birthday. There he was. Born on March 14, 1879. He died some 76 years later on April 18, 1955.
What a man he was. Very smart. Incredibly kind. Extremely wise. (Albeit, not so faithful…)
Yet. The world has always wondered what his last words were. But here is the whooping deal of it.
When Albert Einstein lay dying in a Princeton Hospital, the dang nurse assigned to him didn’t speak a lick of German. And guess what Al’s native tongue was? German. And guess what people do when they die. Well. It depends on the person. But Albert, old smart Albert, spoke his final words auf Deutsch. (In German, the language of his birth). So the great physicist’s last words have passed by without meaningful comprehension.
Until now. You see, I just learned that the nurse said it sounded like Albert Einstein said “That side’s bitter.” Well I know German. And this one is easy-peasy.
That side’s bitter. In German, that sounds just like… “Das Salz Bitte”
And that means… Pass the Salt Please. Hmmmm. Pass the Salt. Puhhhhhlllleeeeeassssse.
And there you have. The ways of the universe. Explained.
Just as I suspected.
“I want to know God’s thoughts…the rest are details.” – Albert Einstein
