Course | Registration opens 1/21/2025 8:00 AM EST

Albert Einstein, one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century, reshaped our understanding of the universe with his groundbreaking theories. His work on the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics revolutionized physics and laid the foundation for much of modern science. However, Einstein’s contributions extend beyond his scientific achievements—intellectual curiosity, humanitarian efforts, and a profound impact on society marked his life. This presentation will explore essential aspects of Einstein’s scientific theories, life milestones, and legacy.
