Albert Einstein was one of the greatest minds of the past century, and his contributions to human knowledge are unparalleled.
The physicist conducted innovative research on how our universe functions, formulated the Theory of Relativity, and predicted the existence of gravitational waves before anyone could observe it.
Einstein wasn't just brilliant, he was deep: a scientist-philosopher who knew just how to describe the human condition.
Even when he had to live in the time of war, he was always against it. He always said: science shouldn't be used to harm people, it should be used to help people, therefore he never helped to create atomic bombs or nuclear weapons or whatever germany had in mind to win. Einstein didn't have it easy being different in certain way, he was a free thinker, a pacifist, and a jew.
I found him unique, funny, thoughtful, and most important humble.
I strongly recommend you to watch "Genius" the show of national geographic about Albert Einstein the man, not just Einstein the physicist. Being a physicist made him famous; being a man made him interesting.
Don't expect a show based 100% on his science although if you have any doubt about the theory of relativity i assure you, you will clarify it!
