What I find most admirable about Albert Einstein is the way he thought up his theories and had the ability to conduct experiments on them. By doing this‚ he answered many questions of the scientific realm of the world. Some of the traits I admire are: 1. A trait I admire is his curiosity because he always wanted to find out how things worked. When he was five years old his father gave him a compass. It was a mystery to him. He wanted to know why the arrow always pointed north. His father

Albert Einstein 1879-1955 Einstein was undoubtedly the single greatest contributor to science in the 20th century. Few will argue with that point. His gifts to today’s understanding of the universe‚ energy‚ time among others base many branches of modern science. His contributions are not restricted only to the fields of science‚ but also to the individual person: from powerful heads of states to the average citizen. Albert Einstein helped Oppenheimer1 develop the fundamental science needed to

Albert Einstein remains one of the 20th Century’s most enigmatic yet popular figures. His high-minded concepts are more than most adults can handle‚ yet his popularity seems to rise with each passing year. His continuing importance to the world of physics is staggering given the recent advancements in the world of quantum physics. Yet Einstein the man is a much a different person than Einstein the scientist. It is Einstein the man that we see here‚ in this wonderful book by Maree Ferguson Delano

Einstein became an American citizen in 1940. Not long after settling into his career at the Institute for Advanced Study (in Princeton‚ New Jersey)‚ he expressed his appreciation of the "meritocracy" in American culture when compared to Europe. According to Isaacson‚ he recognized the "right of individuals to say and think what they pleased"‚ without social barriers‚ and as result‚ the individual was "encouraged" to be more creative‚ a trait he valued from his own early education.
