| Albert Einstein widely is regarded as the greatest scientist to live and work in the 20th century. He was born on March 14, 1879 at Ulm in Baden-Württemberg, German Empire, which is approximatel 100 kilometers east of Stuttgart. His parents were Hermann Einstein who was a feather bed salesman. His father later ran an electrochemical works. His mother was named Pauline with a maiden name of Koch. Within a half-century after his death, his eyes are to be found in a jar in New Jersey and his brain -- minus a few bits chipped off for analysis by scientists and researchers -- is in another jar in Lawrence, Kansas. With all of that said, his research and analysis together with his writings survive to this day. Above all, we maintain his vision. In the end, Einstein got us closer to nature's truths than anyone did before him. Additionally, we have come to appreciate how much he left unsolved by the time of his death. Once, after receiving a letter from a 15 year old girl who complained of having problems solving math problems, he sent a reply along with a page full of diagrams. He told her not to worry as his own difficulties in mathematics were much greater. When it comes to Einstein, everything is relative.
