The genius among geniuses

One thing that fascinates me most about Albert Einstein was his inconsistency brought about his childhood life. Considering the fact that he flunked out his academic life, he was nevertheless able to manufacture ideas at an early age far beyond what human understanding could grasp.

In a century dominated by the scientific community, I had met a complete genre of intelligent and profound gurus, professors and teachers who devote most of their time in certain areas of specialization. They always have this commonality of philosophic doctrine: getting your life connected with your chosen career and the kind of profession you want to pursue. "Grades are merely requirements, it can't measure personal wit," one teacher told me. True enough, Einstein was able to become a living legend even if he had such low university grades. The thing here is that perhaps it was his creativity that propelled him to accomplish the feats he did, or was it his ingenuity and intuitiveness. One thing is for sure: Albert Einstein intrigued me more than anyone else. Now the possibilities are seemingly endless for a student like me who still hopes for a life worth analyzing. He he

Einstein recalled 1905 as the year when he said "a storm broke loose in my mind". That year, he proved the existence of the atoms, devised the theory of relativity, showing that e equals mc^2 and laid the foundations of quantum physics. Fifty years after his death, Einstein's reputation is only improving with age. His theories of the universe continue to be supported by new generations of scientists and the technological tools that Einstein could only imagine.

Einstein always appeared to have a clear view of the problems of physics and the determination to solve them. He had a strategy of his own and was able to visualized the main stages on the way to his goal. He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping-stones for the next advancement of human thought.

Albert Einstein still manages to dazzle the world and leaves the scientific community aghast with his Theory of Relativity. The reality that behind many scientific geniuses, there is at least on other genius, and often a number of them. He was the genius among geniuses.
