Site of the Day for Tuesday, December 17, 2002
Einstein
The List presents an engaging website from the American Museum of Natural
History on the most famous genius of the twentieth century. Gentle Members
rattled by holiday preparations may enjoy a brief refuge from those demands
by pausing at a site which reveals that even genius is not enough to
navigate the rocky shoals of life without mishap.
The website invites the visitor to "view the world through Einstein's eyes.
. . Understanding the universe became an 'eternal riddle' for Einstein, a
quest for scientific enlightenment. 'The road to this paradise was not as
comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise,' he wrote,
'but it has proved itself as trustworthy, and I have never regretted having
chosen it.' . . . Einstein deftly navigated scientific problems, but he
charted the path through his turbulent personal life with less success." -
from the website
The section entitled Einstein's revolution recounts how he became a media
celebrity, while life and times examines his personal life, opening a
window on this fascinating scientist. Further topics explore the scientific
contributions he made to light, time, energy and gravity, complete with
additional interior links to explain and expand key concepts in each
section.
Whizz to the site to discover the man whose name is synonymous with genius
