Albert Einstein is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientific minds in history, and his contributions to our understanding of the universe are unparalleled. He revolutionized physics and mathematics, particularly through his development of the theory of relativity, which fundamentally altered our understanding of space, time, and gravity. His work not only reshaped the landscape of theoretical physics but also influenced fields as diverse as cosmology, quantum mechanics, and even philosophy. Einstein's most famous equation, E=mc², encapsulates the relationship between mass and energy and has had profound implications across multiple scientific disciplines. This equation not only explains the functioning of atomic bombs and nuclear power but also contributes to the understanding of astrophysical phenomena such as black holes and the energy produced by stars. However, Einstein’s brilliance extended beyond his theoretical contributions. His work on the photoelectric effect provided pivotal evidence for the quantum nature of light, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. This research laid the foundation for quantum mechanics, a field that has since become one of the most important areas of modern science. Einstein's legacy is also marked by his unique ability to think creatively about complex problems. His thought experiments, such as imagining riding alongside a beam of light, allowed him to conceptualize ideas that seemed unfathomable at the time. He had a rare ability to look beyond conventional wisdom and challenge established paradigms, leading to breakthroughs that continue to shape our scientific understanding. Beyond his academic achievements, Einstein's contributions to social causes, human rights, and pacifism further solidified his status as one of the greatest minds. He used his fame and influence to speak out against war, racism, and social injustice, advocating for peace, civil rights, and the betterment of humanity. In conclusion, Albert Einstein's impact on science is immeasurable, and his work continues to inspire new generations of scientists, thinkers, and dreamers. His intellectual curiosity, his commitment to challenging the status quo, and his extraordinary contributions to our understanding of the universe solidify his place as one of the greatest scientific minds in history.
He worked alone. He built on others' work to be sure, but he had no one to consult or bounce ideas off of, or to do some work with or for him. Thats alone.
His saying that he stood on the shoulders of giants was not meant humbly. He seems to have meant that he owed nothing to a contemporary, who was a small man.
Impromptu story teller? He regurgitates his canned routines over and over again. His story regarding Newton is wrong history, by the way. Edmund Halley made his "dare" in 1684 when Newton was in his 40s. And Newton was in his mid 30s when he worked out that inverse square gravity implies Kepler's laws.

@@HopDavid Thank you for your response and feedback. I learn something every day! I checked on Perplexity, and it gave me answers that are in line with what you said. From Perplexity: Edmund Halley's famous question to Isaac Newton in 1684 about planetary orbits was indeed the catalyst for Newton's Principia. Halley asked Newton about the shape of a planet's orbit if its attraction to the sun followed an inverse square law. Newton's immediate response that it would be an ellipse led to further discussions and a short treatise from Newton. Recognizing the importance of Newton's work, Halley encouraged him to expand on it. Over the next 18 months, Newton developed this initial work into the full Principia Mathematica. Halley played a crucial role by: 1. Encouraging Newton to complete the book 2. Overseeing the printing process 3. Financing the publication The Principia, published in 1687, revolutionized our understanding of physics and went far beyond Halley's initial question, encompassing Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation. Thus, while Halley's question was the spark, the Principia's scope grew significantly during its development.
The Universe gave us Carl Sagan who mentored Neil deGrasse Tyson. I want to know who Neil is mentoring. So many of my students who were indifferent to or actually hated science, love this man. The legacy must continue. So get off your butt Neil and get busy!
He's spoken before about how he feels obligated to keep Carl Sagan's legacy going by mentoring young people so I am sure he has a lot of that going on.
To me, a weakness of humans is the "need" to decide who's the greatest ANYTHING: scientist, artist, basketball player. Wiser to appreciate them all, not worry who's "number one."
Debating "who's the greatest" isn’t a weakness-it’s human nature. It fuels inspiration, competition, and progress. Highlighting legends like Einstein or Jordan pushes boundaries and connects us. It’s not about diminishing appreciation; it’s about celebrating excellence and sparking passion. 👑🔥
It is very interesting that Newton did not actually need to discover calculus to prove that the planets orbited the sun in ellipses as opposed to circles. Read the book "Feynman's Lost Lecture". It is a lecture Richard Feynman gave where he proved the same thing using only geometry and a few other well known mathematical tools.
As I understand it, Neil is correct that Isaac was born on Christmas, under the old Julian calendar. I'm more certain he's correct that nobody knows when Jesus of Nazareth was born. The New Testament gives us clues, but there are simply too many variables. And even without those variables, the best anyone could do is narrow it down to two possible dates (based upon two potential starting points). My best guess is that it was either from mid-August to mid-September or from early February to early March.
@@mjcruiser4238 No, I've narrowed it down to two potential month-long periods. I'm no math wiz, but 2 out of 12 seems like 17% to me. And keep in mind -- these are only educated guesses, with a few calculated presumptions to try to narrow down time frames. As I said, there are a LOT of variables in the text.
@@mjcruiser4238 Nope. My two guesses were mid-August to mid-September and early February to early March. Two thirty-day periods. I don't understand your confusion here...
Newton is a real person, whose works advance humanity. Jesus is a fictional character, whose religion holds humanity back and kills millions of people.
I agree that Isaac Newton was incredible but he stands next to Einstein not far ahead on his own. The two together are way out in front of everyone else in this regard. Einstein should have won about 4 Nobel prizes. If one person had discovered special relativity and another general relativity they would have both won Nobels. He also discovered the photoelectric effect which has an enormous impact on our modern world. And then throw in that he was the first person to prove the existence of atoms and for that used mathematics and basically revolutionised probability and statistics. For me personally I put Einstein ahead because he was also a person of great empathy, courage and kindness while Newton was one of the biggest twats that ever lived. Newton was a spiteful horrible person and that is important to me. :-)
He knows all about Einstein. I have a PH.D. and published papers in evolutionary biology. Both Einstein and Newton were more brilliant. Wallace independently originated the idea of natural selection. Darwin worked very hard and was enormously productive and intelligent, but Both Einstein and Newton pulled something from their very imaginations, disciplined by evidence.

Disinformation. Tyson has Newton doing all his major work in just two months on a dare, all before he turned 26. At first glance this wrong history seems flattering to Newton. But then Tyson goes on to say that Newton just stopped when he ceded his brilliance to God. That he was no good anymore when he had God on the brain. Newton made contributions through out his life and gave glory to God throughout his life. The friend asking Newton about planetary orbits? That would be Edmund Halley. Who asked the famous question when Newton was in his 40s. Newton didn't reply "I don't know." Halley was stunned to learn that Newton had worked out the answer to his question seven years earlier.
