IT IS ALBERT EINSTEIN APPRECIATION DAY - AND WHAT BETTER WAY THAN TO WATCH THE MAN, THE ROBOT AND THE APPLICATIONS OF HIS MIND.

It is no secret that I have an Albert Einstein fascination. I am impressed with the level of thought that came at a time when technology was too primitive to test most of his theories. His theories are still being proved today. Known best for E=mc2, most people do not understand what it means. Likewise, his General Theory of Relativity remains vague to most people. And so here are some videos of Einstein explaining his famous equation, a newsreel of his death, a Japanese Albert Einstein robot (that shows how immortal one can be, even if your rubber ears flap!) as well as some interesting explanations of relativity, the first time travel machine (being built right now) and gravitational waves, all a part of Einstein's theories. When I consider that most of this came from his thought process followed by active debate and calculations, and then I look at today's high schoolers who have trouble sitting still for five minutes, I have to wonder whether technology is de-evolutionary in result. Enjoy.    -MisterWriter
