I don't believe Einstein said this.  If he did, he was wrong.
(Are you sure it wasn't Tesla?  He seems to be the hero of the week.)
Rather than me posting a more detailed explanation, try reading
the first chapter or two of a freshman physics book.

The other possibility is that you've done a terrible job of saying what
you were trying to say, in which case make that a freshman
English comp. book.
