Albert Einstein is a true genius!


Albert Einstein's birthday is March 14th. He revolutionized the concepts of space, time, and gravity. Before his theories of 'The Special Theory of Relativity' and 'The General Theory of Relativity', space and time had been considered absolute and unaffected by the motions surrounding them. That thinking changed right after his theories on relativity were published. His theories proved that space and time were not absolute but relative. Also, space and time are no longer separate entities but have become inseparable space-time. Gravity was not a force but rather the result of the geometrical distortion caused by the mass of an object on the surrounding space-time.

He wrote the famous papers on relativity while he was doing a clerical job, not as a scientist working at a university. It's amazing to see the ability of the human brain. After his death, to this date, his brain has been kept in a lab as research material, that's what I heard.

Einstein is a true genius. His findings are not only a great leap in astrophysics, but also valuable information to ponder about the existence of the universe, including humans.
