Re: What kind of pipe is Einstein using in this picture??
That's a handmade billard, looks to be of the NewEngland- American variety, I think he is smoking some Va-Per... with just a hint of brandy in the air... I might be wrong, my eyes are going a little...
P.S. This has been a test of the National BS System.. this is only a test.

That looks like a Canadian billiard, although there the shank-stem junction seems constricted into a freehand shape.

Re: What kind of pipe is Einstein using in this picture??
it would be great in anyone could throw some light on his pipe rack... I suspect a few Dunhills where there, maybe a comoy or a charatan.

It was the blending of Latakia and Perique that convinced Einstein light speed is relative to space and not the source of light.

Quote:
What appealed most to Einstein was the entire ritual of pipe smoking: carefully choosing from a variety of pipes and tobaccos, delicately loading the briar, puffing and tamping, and the associated contemplation. "I believe that pipe smoking contributes to a somewhat calm and objective judgment in all human affairs," he said in 1950 at age 71, when he became a lifetime member of the Montreal Pipe Smokers Club. In this picture you can almost see the brand name. Smithsonian Press--Legacies--2Shrine to the Famous--Albert Einstein's pipe, about 1948 |

Re: What kind of pipe is Einstein using in this picture??
Honestly, I'm surprised that he smoked out of a straight billiard pipe. It seems to me that with writing so much mathematics, physics, etc. he would want a bent pipe or freehand sitter at least.
Just my opinion. |
