The scientist who I decided to talk about is Albert Einstein. Einstein came up with quite a few ideas such as the photoelectric effect (which he won the nobel prize for), Brownian motion, special relativity, e=mc^2, and general relativity (which is our current theory of gravity.) He contributed alot to physics and science and disproved Newton'stheories. One project that did threaten us was his involvement in the manhattan project, which was the creation of the first atomic bomb.
Albert Einstein has been considered a genius by the masses because he was a theoretical physicist, philosopher, author and is perhaps one of the most influential scienists who ever lived. Einstein also contributed to the founding of relativistic cosmology, the prediction of the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, the zero-point energy concept, and the quantum theory of monatomic gas which predicyed Boss-Einstein condensation. One of Einstein's achievements was receiving the 1921 nobel prize in Physics for is "services in theoretical physics" and for his discovery of the lawof the photoelectric effect. He published more than 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. For his greatness, he is considred to be the "father of modern physics" and was probably one of the most successful scientists there ever was.
Dyslexia was one roadblock Einstein overcame along with getting kicked out of school, his father's death, stomach ulcers, divorce, and his rivalry with Hitler and the Nazi's. Einstein helped bridge the gap between science and humanities. This is proved in the book Einstein's Dreams because he pleased and delighted both scientists and humanists. The author of the book, (Lightman) used simple, lyrical, and literal details to locate Einstein precisely in a place and time, when he was a patent clerk working on his crazy unheard of theory of relativity.
