Albert Einstein was finally convinced to present to a group of mathematicians at Princeton on some aspects of tensor analysis (a tool essential to the mathematical treatment of relativity theory). A small announcement was posted. But word spread quickly and widely. When the day came the small hall was packed with others waiting outside. Sitting on the front row, Einstein looked back in surprise and exclaimed: “I never realized that in America there was so much interest in tensor analysis.” The story has been told and retold highlighting the humility of Albert Einstein. And it’s a good example. Of course all stories pale in significance to the greatest story of humility, when God thought not of Himself but was crushed to save the world. A humble God. Almost an oxymoron. But it’s not.
