He probably didn&#x27;t say that. As <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;quoteinvestigator.com&#x2F;2010&#x2F;05&#x2F;04&#x2F;universe-einstein&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;quoteinvestigator.com&#x2F;2010&#x2F;05&#x2F;04&#x2F;universe-einstein&#x2F;</a> points out, the original saying was attributed to a &quot;great astronomer&quot;, then followed by &quot;To-day we know that this statement is not quite correct. Einstein has proved that the universe is limited.&quot; These later got merged.<p>In any case, you are making a fallacious argument from authority. Quoting <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Argument_from_authority#Appeal_to_non-authorities" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Argument_from_authority#Appeal...</a> :<p>&gt; A common example of the fallacy is appealing to an authority in one subject to pontificate on another - for example citing Albert Einstein as an authority on religion when his expertise was in physics.
