Albert Einstein will go down in history alongside legendary minds like Sir Isaac Newton, Madam Curie, Galileo and Stephen Hawking.
He’s immortal for his theory of relativy and the story of how it came to him is pretty interesting: he imagined himself riding a beam of light and how time would be different for him and those he left on earth, to him just a few minutes ago but to them, years might have gone by.
More recently his theory of gravitational waves, which he predicted more than one hundred years ago, was validated.
To many of us he’s an abstraction, a black-and-white figure from the dim, distant past.
