Little einsteins lyrics
Little einsteins theme song...
Turning physics on its head
A visionary thinker and cultural icon
Einstein's archetypal boffin persona, firmly lodged in popular culture, is well-earned.
His ideas and theories were so shockingly revolutionary, he changed the way the Universe was imagined, not just once, but several times.
Albert Einstein was proclaimed a genius while still in his 20s.
What is space-time simple explanation
But his later work was dominated by a fruitless search for a unified theory and increasing isolation from mainstream physics. So why are we still obsessed with him?
18 March 1879
A free spirit is born
Almost from birth, Einstein’s enquiring mind was developed by parents who encouraged his independence.
Aged just four, they sent him out to explore the local area on his own.
Aged five, his father gave him a compass to play with. He was captivated by the motion of the needle. This was the genesis of his interest in science. Much later, his theories would be used to explain that motion.
