Description:

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 -- April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."[1] Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation. His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics. Works by Albert Einstein include more than fifty scientific papers and also non-scientific books.[2][3] In 1999 Einstein was named Time magazine's "Person of the Century", and a poll of prominent physicists named him the greatest physicist of all time.[4] In popular culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius.

Yep, nor have I- I've only seen the Che Guevara one on YouTube, and I vaguely remember the one with Karl Marx being on TV about a year ago. It would be fantastic if you upload any of the video one- thanks mate! :)

one of us, one of our brothers and the first one to teach me the importance of Not sharing certain insights. though one cannot stave of the relentless march of science one can with wisdom withhold from the machinations of the modern era, an era bereft of common sense, techniques and tools that are beyond its grasp.

for so unwieldy are such insights, so terrible their consequences, we men of science must have reason enough to stop; people ask of atheists that without a god to define their morality how they can have ethics. who will watch the watchers indeed? i can watch myself, others can, some are simply too bright and overflowing - they mistakenly enable much wickedness.
