#ThrowbackThursday : Albert Einstein and seven other leading scientists are pictured at a luncheon on Nov. 17, 1946, given by the emergency committee of atomic scientists, a group Einstein co-founded to warn the public of the dangers of nuclear weapons.

Einstein is widely considered to be the first modern-day celebrity. “He came at the moment when almost all the modern media were in place: newspapers, magazines, photographs, radio,” explained Dr. Diana Kormos Buchwald, a professor of history.

#WednesdayWisdom : “Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking, just as the man who spends too much time in the theater is tempted to be content with living vicariously instead of living his own life.” – Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein first predicted gravitational lensing a century ago, and now it's helping the James Webb Space Telescope take stunning pictures of exoplanets.

There's a blizzard of new research on two of Einstein's theories whose implications are mind-bending, including the possibility that our three-dimensional universe — and we ourselves — may be holograms.

What is it like to stare down the barrel of a black hole? astronomy.com/news/2018/07/w…

Most physicists believe that dark matter is made of some kind of as-yet undetected elementary particle, but support is growing for another idea. quantamagazine.org/black-holes-fr…

Albert Einstein moved to the United States on October 17, 1933. Two weeks later, Halloween arrived. When a group of kids knocked on his door that evening and shouted 'Trick or Treat,' Einstein came to the front porch and played the violin for them.

The first image of a black hole was unveiled in 2019, confirming Einstein's prediction. Now, a physicist at Harvard is studying a thin ring of light buried in the image. He theorizes that this ring may contain black holes’ secrets. quantamagazine.org/black-holes-ri…

Einstein first described gravitational waves in 1916. He could visualize it in his mind, but he wasn’t able to detect these waves in real life. For a century, scientists tried, but to no avail. That is, until 2016. nytimes.com/2016/02/12/sci…
