Calculate with Einstein

Albert Einstein is one of the smarter people this world has known. Even though his marriage contract, which he once presented to his wife Mileva Maric for signature, no longer seems up-to-date.

Under the requirements heading it says, among other things: “That my clothes and laundry are in order; that my bedroom and my study are tidy, especially that no one uses my desk but me». And: “You stop talking to me when I ask you to. You renounce all personal relationships with me unless maintaining them is absolutely necessary for social reasons. You cannot expect tenderness from me, nor make accusations against me. You must leave my bedroom or study immediately and without objection if I ask you to.”

Einstein died 68 years ago. He was not only a gifted physicist, but also a skilled mathematician. And math plays a role in all areas of life. Number people are booming right now.

For example in business. If you multiply galloping inflation by the constantly declining conversion rates of the pension fund and then add the increased rents and the losses as a small investor of the faltering Credit Suisse, you can use Einstein’s theories to calculate whether you will personally go bankrupt in two or three weeks. As a Büezer you are not necessarily “too big to fail”.

To sports. It’s also about math. If there are 1 candidate and 0 opposing candidates in the embarrassing election of FIFA president, even preschoolers can calculate that this candidate will be elected despite all the embarrassment. All critics, including the Swiss representative, dutifully nodded it all off.

The World Cup is also pure math. If 48 teams are allowed to participate, only those who can barely get three passes in a row will be left out. And the whole qualifying phase becomes a farce. And if there are now 104 matches instead of the previous 64, then you are waiting for the World Cup, which is played from February to December every year. So you can sell 500 games. It is, as Einstein would say, all a relative matter of time.

You can also learn arithmetic with the assistant video referee. VAR has long stood for “damned rumble of all time”. If you add all the made-up penalty kicks to the costs of the trauma therapy of the angry coaches and the embarrassed referees, winning the 104 World Cup matches is quickly gone. That’s why you have to keep growing.

A World Cup so inflated it bursts allows only one conclusion. And you can confidently leave that to Albert Einstein. “Two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, but I’m not quite sure about the universe yet.”
