How Awkward. Today is Einstein's birthday and no Google doodle.. :(

https://google.com

Today is Einstein's birthday and Karl Max's death day. No google doodle. It is a shame google...

Just because it is Einstein's birthday in your frame doesn't mean it is Einstein's birthday in Google's frame. That's one of the things Einstein taught us.

Edit: speaking of Einstein and relativity, Amazon has a new Kindle edition of "Relativity: The Special and General Theory" by Einstein, which was his attempt to explain the theories to the intelligent layman, for only $0.99. [1]

Haha, that's pretty funny. Still, this depends on the definition of "birthday" and what frame the birthday is defined in. Say google was traveling at near lightspeed and time dilated 2x, so it's around Einstein's half birthday in their frame. If I had a wormhole that connects both frames, what is the correct solution?

They don't have a doodle celebrating Pi Day either. You'd think they would've done one or the other!

They used to celebrate it, before loosing all the Nortel patents:

They haven't been doing it every year, it's not that awkward. To me they have seemed a bit more esoteric recently, which is not a bad thing at all.

They've made one for Einstein in 2003, they can't put a new doodle for him every year.

Then what about Karl max? I think there is no google doodle for him till now. And also I told because they don't have any doodle yesterday. so they can put one.
