Review of Einstein
Emon Hassan

Begins with 3 recent news regarding the scientist. Gives us a quick background on the significance of the five papers published at the age of 26 by Einstein. The subject of the papers are well explained and simplified by Dr. Stoddard. She elaborates on the significance of these papers for the future study in genral relativity. There's a sound clip of Einstein talking about Gandhi. Listen for more clips and information on several more clips available online. William Ashworth reads a letter written by Einstein to, for example, a 12 year-old girl who had asked him 'Do scientists pray?', as well one written to a Brooklyn minister. If you think nothing new can be learned about the genius from this piece...you'd probably be wrong.
