"Insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting a different result."
Albert Einstein <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein> (1879 – 1955),
(attributed)
Born in Germany of non-observant Jewish parents, Einstein is often cited as
the most powerful scientific thinker since Isaac Newton, whose mechanical
model of nature he replaced with nuclear, and later quantum, physics. His
theories of general and special relativity, Brownian motion, and the
photoelectric effect, for which he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in
Physics, form the basis of the generally accepted perspective on the
universe. He is credited with warning Franklin Roosevelt of Hitler’s plans
to build atomic weapons, thus setting the Manhattan project into motion,
although he was previously an ardent pacifist, having left Germany in the
1930’s for The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Einstein spent
much of his later years searching for a Unified Field Theory, which would
encompass gravitation, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear
forces. This unification has still not been achieved.
