Albert Einstein(1879-1955) is recognised as one of the most creative intellects in human history.
He is best known for his theory of relativity and the new concepts of space, time and gravitation.
In 1933 while he was visiting the USA, the Nazi government took away his property and citizenship because he was a Jew.
Thereafter,he made USA his home,
He had a deep compassion for people who were politically or economically oppressed.
He used his influential voice to champion such causes as pacifism, liberalism and Zionism.
But it was an irony of fate for this idealist man who hated war and loved peace that his famous discovery of energy-mass equilibrium has its spectacular result in the creation of the atomic and hydrogen bombs,the most devastating weapons ever known.
