Critical Thinking Blog # 6

One of the most fascinating personality of the 20th century happened to be a brilliant man named Albert Einstein. Ever since his breakthrough theory of relativity and his famous Mass Energy Equivalence (E=MC2), the progress of human science and technology was further accelerated by at least ten years. Tragically thought, the unfortunate events in Nagasaki and Hiroshima have left us to wonder if indeed human beings are indeed capable of handling such information and ease of access to such technology.

Either way, I was more fascinated with Albert Einstein’s own personal journey. His own grieving to his accountability with the atomic bombs made it apparent that his conscience cannot overcome the guilt. Reflecting upon Einstein’s historical past, for me, it seems that he has a lackadaisical demeanor. This is entirely apparent just by the way he acknowledges school work. It was noted that Einstein, though a genius, was never into academics – only being interested in the fields which he is interested with. Regardless of this demeanor, he was able to excel mentally, being able to create theorems.

Albert Einstein’s contribution to the sciences is unmatchable due to the social and psychological implications it has created. Reviewing our society today, pretty much everything that is involved with Physics can be all be retraced back to Einstein. It is indeed such a wonderful and fascinating story on how one person and his “dreams” can overtly change the course of history and manage to propel mankind into the future.
