To the modern world, Albert Einstein is the archetype scientist. His name is synonymous with genius, his image is instantly recognized, and his life’s work is universally acknowledged as the bedrock of contemporary physics. Albert Einstein, “The Naked King of Physics,” contributed more than any other scientist to the modern vision of physical reality. His theory of relativity is held as human thought of the highest quality. Einstein was a man ahead of his time with ideas no one had ever dealt with before. Through his work he earned fame and fortune, but he also earned hate and mistrust. Albert's formula "E=mc2" was linked to the construction of the Atomic Bomb, something Albert had never intended his work to be used for. With his wild, bushy, white hair, Albert Einstein is the symbol of genius. After winning the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics, his genius became famous. This fame would help save his life. Years later, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis would come to power in Germany, and millions of Jews would die. Einstein fled Germany, and the well-known scientist was welcomed at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, New Jersey. Albert Einstein was also a political activist, violin player, and family man. During World War II, he assisted many Jews fleeing the Nazis. After the war, the people of Israel asked him to be their president. Einstein declined; he still had unanswered scientific questions to solve. Today, scientist are still hard at work trying to solve some of Einstein’s questions. Albert Einstein is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the modern era. Einstein won the Nobel Prize and worked for the world peace. As a preeminent physicist, he radically transformed our understanding of the universe. As an ardent humanist, he took an active and outspoken stance on the significant political and social issues of his time. With no doubt, Einstein is a model, whose, life, words, and works are significant to me.
