Good read. But I’m confused about Einstein traveling with a Jewish Zionist road show. Most biographies paint him from non-religious at best to atheist at worst.
There are a few articles on the matter - he was apparently personally torn on the issue, but took part in the tour. Who knows, maybe he thought it would be a fun trip?

This was an excellent piece. Mind if I restack it?
Hans! Thank you!! I SO appreciate you restacking my post. This is the first time, actually.
Truly eye opening and terrifying proof that everything really does just come down to timing and dumb luck.
I can just see the streets of New York in 1921 and the journalists talking to each other:
“Say, the crowd is going coo-coo for this kraut!”
“Well of course they are, Johnny. He has a superb arse and good hair!”
