yes,the great man himself was having a secret affair with the sports of kings(horse racing).and when he died a drawer in his desk was full of gambling dockets,but the great man himself lived up to his name because the last bet he placed had 2 winners and a horse beaten on the line in a tight finish,if the story is correct.but Albert had placed 3 doubles and a treble and a bet to win on each horse.

Funny you should mention that coop
The earliest known evidence of gambling was in biblical times. Archaeologists found the preserved remains of a philistine soldier. They deduced that he had committed suicide because of gambling. They found a leather pouch containing a betting slip- 100 sheckels to win on Goliath.

He probably combined his horses using his space time continuum theory, the settler would wonder
what is going on here????
I bet it was a bugger to work his bets outHe probably combined his horses using his space time continuum theory, the settler would wonderwhat is going on here????
He worked out how to travel forward in time but kept it a secret. After his death it was discovered that he had winning Grand National betting slips up to the year 2000.

You seem to know a lot about Einstein...Doo Wah, was a friend of yours?
I try to understand his theories but after a while I get lost.
Of course some of his theories clash with Quantum Physics, which I cannot understand either.
Perhaps you understand them better Doo Wah

I believe in spite of what is said, Einstein came up with his theory of relativity when he was his first race meeting where the finishing line crossed the winning horse. (One for the physics intelligentsia)!

I had a brilliant career, not much to do with physics. But I have been retired for over 20 years and I have enjoyed every minute- of retirement of course!

I think everything in this world is down to luck, probably why I do not back enough winners[:cry}
and do not understand advanced physics...even simplified
I do not think I have had much of either tbhI think everything in this world is down to luck, probably why I do not back enough winners[:cry}and do not understand advanced physics...even simplified
I only had 'O' level Education, but when I left school
I was offered a job at a physics laboratory, Philipps, with continued education at Technical College
I turned it down....what an idiot I was??????
My decisions since have not been a lot better..oh well
