It's beautiful how you explained his life so well! People always over generalize Einstein like he is some kind of mad men, but the true story is way more interesting
It's strange that this is the equation that has permaiated the public consciousness when Einstein never actually wrote it. The actual equation uses most of the same letters representing the same things but the real equation is different. It's worth looking up.
@Graig Simmonette I'm an engineering student, I'm pretty familiar with the equation. I know all the implications of relative mass and energy.

Yeah, it was one of the many reasons why he wasn't allowed on the Manhattan Project. The United States government considered the NAACP a communist front organization. 20th century American politics was idiotic. If you were any sort of left wing, you were automatically a communist to the FBI. An example being the Republican faction during the Spanish Civil War. It wasn't just communists but all sorts of groups, from liberals, social democrats, to anarchists and socialists. But nope, the United States government considered them communist.
Actually, E=mc² doesn't mean that energy can be converted into mass and vice versa. It means that mass is a form of energy, no different than light or thermal energy. Also, the full formula is E²=(mc²)²+(pc)². E=mc² is a special case when the p, that is the impulse of an object, is next to 0 from the perspective of an observer. Another special case is E=pc, which is for photons, which have impulse but no mass. This is what allows solar sails to work.
A famous University director in Germany was asked in the 1930's whether his university was affected by Nazi laws prohibiting Jews to attend. 'Affected?' The man reacted, 'It has ceased to exist!'
Sounds like my grandson. He got a high score in a difficult subject that was hard for anybody else, he totally didn't score any kind of grade in everything else.
My father's wife of 30 years told me her father worked winters for an employer at Princeton. She told me, "He (Einstein) and my father became friends, and often went walking together. I went to visit my father there in 1944 when I was 18, and met Einstein two or three times during my visit. Einstein gave my father two of his pipes, which Einstein had kept on his desk, as a token of their friendship." She showed me the pipes and allowed me to hold them several times.
Albert Einstein's instructor was non other than Simon Whistler. Einstein stated that if he were able to gain one tenth of the knowledge and intelligence of Mr. Whistler that he would be able to change the world. Although he fell well short of his goal, he still managed to make a difference. Mr. Whistler took years trying to explain to him the theory of relativity, and after Mr. Whistler was exhausted with explanation, Einstein finally caught on.
I use to live 5 miles from Princeton Medical Center on Witherspoon Street in Princeton, NJ. A plaque was on the room where Einstein passed away. The Hospital was moved to Plainsboro, NJ in a New Building that Dr. Gregory House (James Hugh Calum Laurie CBE) was suppose to work in on the TV show House. The Hospital had a picture of Dr. House and it listed him as an honorary doctor in the hospital.

She would tell me stories of him walking out into the snow barefooted and him having the same shirt, pants, socks and suit coat. She said he would be so deep in thought he never even recognize his surroundings. She said" I was the only one he trusted to go into his study".... " I knew what to touch and what not too."

There are few famous people to who receive as many miss-attributions as Einstein from the lab coated professor behind a table full of chemistry apparatus (he was theorist and carried out no experiments and his field was physics) to the attribution of terms like 'space-time' and 'light cone' (Minkowski's theory based on Special Relativity) and so it goes on. In this video we hear the oft repeated error that the equation E=mc² appears in a 1905 paper (Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy-content?) but in reality it does not and never did. Einstein used the letter L for Energy and V for the speed of light and wrote the equation in this form (quoted from an English translation of the paper): "If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/V²." And that's it...we have to go to a paper after WWII to find an instance of Einstein using the equation in the modern form...
Holy crow, why do none of the other Einstein biographies mention his anti-racism, NAACP involvement, and friendship with W.E.B. Dubois? OH! I think I know.

I would like to imaging that his miracle year of papers would have happened but who knows. The fickle nature of seemingly inconsequential events shape the world.
