Einstein’s delayed 1923 acceptance speech for his hideously delayed
Nobel prize–finally offered to him in 1921 for his “work on the
photoelectric effect” of 1905–is generated here into a piece of Found
Word Art, fashioned by the language-generator residing in the WORDLE site.
As in the other cases of word art generated by Wordle, the work is the
product of the vocabulary-digester at Wordle, which in this case
consumed the entire text of the speech and displayed it according to
the appearance of the most popularly-used words. The results of these
jaunts into Wordle have been fascinating to me, as I hope they are to
you.
The full text of the Einstein speech (which is tricky to find in full
text versions) is below. I’m sorry to say that I’ve messed up the
equations, trying to fit them into typepad.
