1. He Made Headlines
REVOLUTION IN SCIENCE
New Theory of the Universe
Newtonian Ideas Overthrown
New Theory of the Universe
Newtonian Ideas Overthrown
When Einstein’s theory of general relativity came out, challenging Newtonian physics, newspapers appeared to be assigning reporters to the Einstein beat. Whenever he spoke out on any topic, whenever he won an award, whenever he had the briefest encounter with another human being, the press ate it up:
- Berlin man Pays $16 fine after calling for Einstein’s assassination!
- Einstein contemplates existence of Santa Claus!
- Einstein gives a conductor the wrong change on a street car.
Einstein’s travel was also well documented. Headlines would announce his arrival, follow his daily movements, mourn his departure and even provide a post-script of the scientist’s reflections on his visit. Now, 100 years later, he’s still making headlines.
2.His famous equations and work will live forever
E = mc^2 has been used and abused, played up and played out.Whenever you think of energy mc^2 will be something you will be thinking about, when comes to gravity you defiantly will talk about space-time warp and whenever it comes to the the big questions from the location of stars to the definition of time, yeH! you gonna remember Einstein.
3.No one can ever be like him.
He’s a brand,still he is, in the form of his name and work.The scientists love him,the poet love him,the one who thinks about the beauty of the universe do love him.Space and time conspired to make Einstein the icon that he is. He was working at a time when a patent clerk could actually change the face of science. He was a Jew living in a time of extreme anti-Semitism who recognized Hitler’s evil before almost everyone else. He had a gift for communicating science in sound-bites, and his ideas about ‘relativity’ were readily embraced by a public struggling with absolutism and seeking change. Compound these unique circumstances with the increased compartmentalization of science and it becomes apparent that there will never be another Einstein. And even if there was an individual who could single-handedly change the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us (who also sailed, played music, told jokes and wooed women), it wouldn’t mean they were Einstein. Even the man himself recognized the task of living up to the name, reportedly quipping in signature form with, “Hey, I’m no Einstein.”
