Albert Einstein was the most influential physicist of the 20th century. His ideas fundamentally changed our understanding of the nature of the universe. Newton’s ideas of absolute space and time were upended by Einstein’s concept of space/time – a universe in which, if there was no matter, there would be no space and no time.
Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke explained Einstein’s appeal this way, “Einstein’s unique combination of genius, humanist, pacifist, and eccentric made him accessible – and even lovable – to tens of millions of people.”
Einstein was no ordinary international celebrity. Charlie Chaplin once explained to Einstein why the scientist was often welcomed with applause by saying, “They cheer me because they all understand me, and they cheer you because no one understands you.” But, in truth, Einstein was able to make his revolutionary ideas understandable to the most advanced scientists and, albeit to a lesser degree, the general public.
