you
can’t
see
it. And how
traitorous
nature
is,
when
you
want
to
deal
with
it
experimentally! Experimenting
is
becoming
a
passion
for
me even
in
my
old
age.
Warm
greetings

to Anna
and
Vero, yours,

57. To
Georg
Nicolai
Berlin,

February
1915
Highly
esteemed
Sir,[1]
Although
I
am
convinced
that the
voice of
a
handful
of
the
informed carries
little
weight
against
the
lust for
power
of
the
mighty
and
the
fanaticism of
the
many,
I
still welcome
your
manifesto with
pleasure
and
am
pleased
to
be
per-
mitted
to add
my
name
to it. The manifesto
will
contribute
in
any
case
toward
reestablishing
the
former
good
relations
among
researchers
of
civilized
countries,
which have
already
been clouded
by
some
vehement and rash
words.[2]
In accordance with
your request
I
name
here
some men
who,
in
my view,
would want
to participate
in
your
desirable
enterprise:
Prof.
Diels,
Berlin W.

Nürnberger
St.
Prof.
Morf, Halensee, Berlin,

Kurfürstendamm
Prof.
Planck, Grünewald, Berlin,

Wangenheim
St.
Prof.
Waldeyer,
Berlin W.

Luther St.
These four
gentlemen
are
members
of
the
local
Academy,[3]
and
I
am
familiar
with
their
broad-mindedness and
good
will.
I
recommend
you
furthermore
to
the
following men
in
my hometown,
Zurich:
Prof.
Stodola,
Fed.
Polytechnic.
Prof. H.
Zangger,
Zurich
University.
For these
two,[4]
all matters
concerning
true
social
progress
are
always
close
to
their hearts.
With
all due
respect
and best wishes for
the
success
of
the
good
undertaking,
yours very truly,
A.
Einstein.
