One of the most influential thinkers of our time was Albert Einstein. It’s ironic to think he was once called a “retarded kid” by his parents. At a young age, Einstein flunked school. Later on, however, he became more interested in the physics behind some gadgets like the magnetic polarity of the compass. Einstein then wanted to learn more about the mysterious ways of the universe and how everything came to be. Later on, he became so successful in high school that all colleges wanted him as a student. By this time, Nazism struck Germany, but Einstein was able to escape the terror by going to a college elsewhere. After learning about Hitler's intentions with the Holocaust, Einstein then looked to end racism by trying to spread influential ideas, such as Zionism. Albert Einstein has contributed to all of humanity by his love for physics, his powerful political position, and his perseverance to accomplish all of his goals.

Albert Einstein tried to theorize or postulate ideas and equations to explain all characteristics of the universe. Albert Einstein lived a life full of discovering the secrets of the universe: "Though he remained politically active for the last part of his life, much of it was given over to work on what he termed the grand unified theory of physics, a formulation that would define the properties of energy and matter." ("Albert Einstein." DISCovering Authors. Detroit: Gale, 2003. Gale Student Resources In Context. Web. 14 Dec. 2010.) The grand unified theory of matter was supposed to be Einstein’s greatest triumph. It was supposed one theory that not only explained how the universe behaves but would also explain how the sub-atomic particles behaved. Einstein failed in this search but he discovered many other things, like the photoelectric effect, the theory of relativity, worm holes, the cosmos, the Brownian motion of molecules, etc. Most of these great discoveries were derived from mere thought experiments. This is what makes Einstein so brilliant. During his career, Albert Einstein found some errors to the original beliefs of physics: "Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and his special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field." ("Albert Einstein - Biography". Nobelprize.org. 13 Dec 2010). He contributes to one of the most spectacular advances that have led humanity to the more developed technology. He was not afraid to challenge the accepted theories of the time. Einstein helps interpret how to view the world, the universe, and humanity.

In addition to his achievements in science, Albert Einstein also had a positive influence on society and almost all nations during 1940. Almost all nations respected Albert Einstein because he "was a leading figure in the World Government Movement, he was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, and he collaborated with Dr. Chaim Weizmann in establishing the Hebrew University of Jerusalem." ("Albert Einstein - Biography". Nobelprize.org. 13 Dec 2010). Albert Einstein had three beliefs, which: "included pacifism, a general opposition to warfare; Zionism, a movement to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine; and socialism, a political system in which the means of production would be owned by society and production would be planned to match the needs of the community" (Howard). Einstein’s morals are set so that he helps the community, and at the same time, establishing peace to form a nation free of war and hate. Einstein is truly the most dynamic man of the 1900's because of firm and key morals. Albert Einstein's noble motives helped to achieve some of the best codes of conduct.

After creating the Brownian Motion of Molecules, the Theory of Relativity, founding a university for Hebrews, becoming a nationally respected leader, and working hard, Albert Einstein truly is the perfect role model for hero. Things have changed drastically from 1938 - 1960 allowing humanity to gain new ideas, new respects towards ethnicity, and accept persistence. Albert Einstein has contributed much to the human society. Technology might not have advanced as quickly as it did without Einstein. But he also inspired a way of learning, which was to study with passion to fully understand what comes next. No matter what happens history will regard Albert Einstein as one of the world's most exemplary figure and that his contributions are honored in the advancement of science and society.
