Science as a Human Endeavour Role of scientist in society

Albert’s legacy is alive and well 100 years later.
What science equation first comes to your mind?
Would the world now be different if Albert Einstein had never lived?
“The equations of general relativity,” wrote Stephen Hawking, “are his best epitaph and memorial. They should last as long as the universe.”
What might have happened if no one listened to Albert’s talk on the General Theory of Relativity at the Prussian Academy?
How did Einstein’s theory on General Relativity change the way we think about the universe?
Art and Literature were affected by Einstein’s theory on General Relativity. How?
Without realising it, we encounter Albert Einstein in different fields of everyday life. How many can you think of?
Science as a Human Endeavour:
• Sparked a new public perception of the role of the scientist in society.
• Einstein believed that the scientist has a moral responsibility to humanity.
In addition to his scientific publications, he published popular tracts on themes such as religion, human rights, economics, government, nuclear war, and personal development.
Einstein saw failure as the first attempt of learning. We know his successes, but what were some of his failures?
