Relevance of Albert Einstein

In his early life Einstein gave up the traditional model of education in trying to stuff down what was already known and the lack of encouragement provided for innovative thinking. His refusal to go down this well-trodden path allowed him to think outside of the traditional knowledge. (2). This was to prove useful when he turned his attention to molecular reality and the molecular basis of statistical physics in which the then existent theoretical physics frameworks and the results of observations and experiments differed. The result was the contributions that he made that had a profound impact on all the human development that is seen around us in the various fields of physics, mathematics, and astronomy. The example that Einstein has set has led to encouragement for innovative thinking in the field of education and the many things like space travel that we today take for granted. (3).
