In a 1954 letter Albert Einstein replies to Evert Fornäs, a teacher at a Swedish folk high school, who had written Einstein about his general theory of relativity and the limitations of science based on mathematics. Einstein believes that in principle the laws of nature can be described in mathematical terms, but that the limitations of human intelligence makes it impossible to describe even elementary rules of psychology on the basis of physics and chemistry.
This letter was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by the Fornäs family.
