Albert Einstein's letter on the Universal Force of Love

Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg and Wernher von Braun, are today not only known for their scientific discoveries but also for their philosophical ideas underlying their scientific mindset. Albert Einstein especially was an extraordinary thinker. Due to his ingenuity in the scientific field, his ideas on non-scientific issues were highly respected and valued. Many of his thoughts and writings can be applied to our current society as they illustrate profound truths.

Therefore, several of Albert Einstein’s quotes are in still in circulation and inspire many people. I picked some of my favourite quotes:

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

“God does not play dice with the universe.”

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

In my opinion many of them are really inspiring. Moreover, they shed some light on many true and profound principles that are often ignored or misunderstood.
Recently I found this letter allegedly written by Albert Einstein to his daughter Lieserl, in which he described the Universal Force of Love in combination to his famous equation: E=mc^2. Maybe you are now as excited as I was when I found the article that covered this letter.

Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. While doing some further research on this letter, I found out that it was NOT actually written by Albert Einstein.
Dr. Diana-Kormos Buchwald (chief editor of “Einstein paper project”) wrote: “This document is not by Einstein. The family letters donated to the Hebrew University - referred to in this rumor - were not given by Lieserl. They were given by Margot Einstein, who was Albert Einstein’s stepdaughter. Many of those letters were published in Volume 10 of The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein in 2006 and in subsequent volumes, in chronological order.”

Although this might be very disappointing, I still encourage you to read that letter as it contains some truth and might inspire you to do your own research on this topic.

“Not many people understood me when I first came up with the theory of relativity. In this letter I will reveal something to you that you must transmit to all mankind. Beware, the message in this letter will collide with the popular prejudice and misunderstandings of our time.
I must ask of you to guard these letters and their message as long as you deem necessary. Years or even decades until you see society is ready to listen and accept what I am about to share with you. There is a force so extremely power, that science has still not found a way to explain it.
It is a power that engulfs and governs all other powers. I believe it is also in charge of all phenomena in the Universe, many of which we have not seen or explained yet. This universal force is LOVE.
Scientists have not considered love in their efforts to present a unified theory of the Universe. They’ve neglected it even though it is the most powerful invisible force out there. Love represents Light, for it enlightens those who give it and receive it. It is gravity, because it makes people attracted to one another.
Love is power that brings out and multiplies the best of all life. Love keeps humanity from annihilating itself in its blind narrow mindedness and selfishness. We live and die for it. Love is God, and God is Love.
Through this force we can explain everything and find meaning in our lives. We have ignored love for such a long time, perhaps because we are afraid of it. Perhaps we ignore it because we cannot control it and quantify it. Explain it with our numbers and reason.
I believe I have found a way to make love more visible, and it is through my famous formula E = MC2.
If instead of this equation, we accept that the energy for universal healing can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we come at the conclusion that love is limitless, therefore it is truly the most powerful force in the Universe.
Humanity has failed in its efforts to control the forces of the Universe, which have turned against us. In light of that, it is urgent that we heal and immerse ourselves in a different kind of energy...
For the purpose of our survival, and in our quest to find meaning to our existence we must ensure the survival of every living soul on Earth by turning to love. It is the only true answer and solution.
This force cannot be used through building a bomb of love, and use it to destroy all hate, greed and selfishness of our time. But never forget, each person has in them, a core made up of immense energy and love just waiting to be shared with the world.

When we learn to grow and master this force within ourselves, my dear Lieserl, we will realize the full power of love, and its ability to conquer all, transcend everything and anything, for it is the very essence of our existence.
I am forever sorry for not fully expressing the love I’ve always had for you in my heart. I realize I might be late with this apology, but please know I love you and it is thanks to you that I have reached the ultimate answer in life.”

Your father,
Albert Einstein.
