“Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance you must keep moving”. *****
This book presents Einstein’s scientific achievements, politics, faith, reputation and world influence woven into the events of his time and his own personal life.
Even though his science changed it was really a simple set of formulas that seemed to define his outlook yet his own world views we not as constant and did change as a result of the times he lived through.
Two World Wars, the impact of anti-Semitism, a personal love of non conformity seem to be odd ingredients for a philosophy which embraced the need for a unification of world governments but all came together in the book to help understand this complex individual.
The book presents his science with a lot of details and builds on it as his live takes place much in the same it way it builds on his outlook on his Jewish faith, his relationship with his family, and the impact of at first not being accepted and then becoming a world wide superstar.
I found the details of his popularity and the influence he had throughout most of his life to be one of the most interesting things about the book.
