This episode explores the life of Albert Einstein, the scientist whose theories redefined the universe and reshaped modern physics. Born in 1879, Einstein’s unconventional childhood and restless curiosity led him to question authority and think in new ways. Working at the Swiss Patent Office, he produced his “miracle year” of papers in 1905, introducing special relativity and the famous equation E=mc². His ideas replaced Newton’s absolute universe with one where space and time are relative, later confirmed during the 1919 solar eclipse, which made him a global icon of genius.

Einstein’s voice extended beyond science. Fleeing Nazi Germany, he became a moral advocate in the United States, warning of fascism, speaking for civil rights, and urging nuclear disarmament after World War II. His later years were devoted to searching for a unified theory of physics, though he never completed it. Despite his eccentricities and rivalries, Einstein left behind a legacy of scientific breakthroughs and humanistic values.

His voice changed the world not only with equations but also with imagination, courage, and conviction. He showed that reality itself is stranger and more beautiful than we ever believed, and that curiosity and creativity remain humanity’s greatest powers.
