If you could shrink the world down to 100 people (keeping the same ratios and proportions) there would be:

51 females and 49 males;

57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Americas and 8 Africans;

70 non-white and 30 white;

50% of the wealth would be in the hands of 6 people living in the US;

80 living in substandard housing;

70 who were illiterate;

50 would be suffering from malnutrition;

1 person would be near death and 1 person would be near birth;

1 person with a college education;

and not one person who owns a computer.

Quotes from Albert Einstein:
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."

Those are a little too deep for me

Although I did read and understand (in a way) his general and special theories of relativity. I have a couple of good books for the layman that I read during a lazy week at the beach vacation. Under the umbrella and toes in the sand
