14th March is the 135th Birth anniversary of this great legend called Sir Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein has long been considered a genius by the masses. He was a great humanist socialist scientist, a theoretical physicist, philosopher, author, and is perhaps the most influential scientists to ever live. Albert Einstein was one of the twentieth centurys greatest thinkers and scientists. His discoveries revolutionized the field of physics and forever altered mankinds understanding of the basic workings of the universe, leading to the dawn of the atomic age. Thrust into unexpected celebrity by the dramatic verification of his theories in 1919, Einstein quickly became an international icon of wisdom and intelligence. Einstein’s great contributions to the scientific world, including the theory of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, and the quantum theory of a monatomic gas which predicted Bose–Einstein condensation, to name a few of his scientific contributions. Sir Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” He’s published more than 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. Einstein is considered the father of modern physics and is probably the most successful scientist there ever was. Einstein was an agnostic liening towards Atheism, but for a public face he--for practical reasons--wished to keep his lack of faith from the public. The press and the church wanted people to believe that he was a man of faith, and they succeeded. One must distingush the public face from the private reality. His comments on god said in public are quite different from his personal writings. One such example: From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.... I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our being. The formula, E=mc[2], is probably the most famous outcome from Einsteins special theory of relativity. Albert Einstein ZINDABAD.
