Einstein's letter on religion sells for £170,000.

A letter was auctioned off in London. The letter is written by Albert Einstein. In the letter Einstein shares his point off view on the supernatural, he says that religious beliefs are "childish superstitions" and the "product of human weaknesses". "The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses”, said Einstein. The letter has been sold at the auction for £170,000. It was sold to a private collector. The amount paid for the letter exceeded the world record for a letter by the great scientist. "It beats the world record for an Einstein letter by about 4 times," said managing director of Bloomsbury Auctions in Mayfair, Rupert Powell, "It's a massive difference." The price paid for it is exceptional.

A letter from Albert Einstein, wow that is pretty impressive I think. The letter is about religion, a topic with so many opinions from so many people. And now we can even read the opinion of one of the most well-known scientists in the world (who (minor detail) happens too be dead for ages, but ok…). So dear old Albert thinks that religion and God are just expressions of man’ weaknesses. Well that is one way to look at it. Or as I like to think it could also be a strength. Everybody beliefs in something, one person might be a Muslim or the other one a Jew or a Christian etc… these people live with the idea that there is something/ someone watching over them. Religions all have a similar base if you think about it. It is all about being a good person towards others and trying to live a good life. That is not weak in my eyes, that’s a guideline for good things and it takes a strong person to keep to curtain rules in some circumstances.

Body found in hunt for missing TV make-up artist

A dead body was found hidden in woodland by a woman who was out walking her dog. The body is that was found is being linked by the police to an earlier the disappearance . that is the body of an award-winning TV make-up artist. The make-up artist, Diane Chenery-Wickens, was reported missing by her husband, David. She was reported missing on January 24. David did so after his wife failed to attend a meeting at the BBC. An arrest was made later on, Mr Chenery-Wickens from Duddleswell, was arrested on suspicion of Diane’s murder but he was freed on police bail. The found body and the crime scene have to be investigated thoroughly. The Detective Chief Inspector, who is leading the investigation, said: “whilst the potential link with Diane Chenery-Wickens’ case is an obvious line of enquiry we need to keep an open mind until formal identification and investigation of the scene have been concluded. Which means that they have to investigate whether the found body is really that of Diane’s and that they are not going to jump to conclusions before the result are in.

Well well, it is not the best news you can hear, but it is interesting. The man who was arrested did have the same last name, it just does not say what the link between the victim and the suspect is. So a well-known make-up artist is missing and a lady found a body when taking her dog for a walk. I guess you never know what is going to happen? The lady probably did not know what happened to her. And do not forget the husband of the missing women, she has been reported missing since January. Well, the police have a number and are hoping for witnesses, my tip is go after the person who’s make-up has changed for the better since Diana has been missing…
