Albert Einstein: his name has become a synonym for genius. His wild case of bedhead and playful sense of humor made him a media superstar-the first, maybe only, scientist-celebrity.
He wasn't much for lab work-in fact he had a tendency to blow up experiments. What he liked to do was think-not in words, but in "thought experiments." What was the result of all his thinking? Nothing less than the overturning of Newtonian physics.
Once again, Kathleen...

Other people thought he was just a dreamer, but because of his curiosity, Einstein grew up to be one of the greatest scientists the world has...

"In 1915, British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington was fascinated with Einstein's new theory of general relativity. The theory talks about how forces push and pull objects in space. Einstein said that the sun's gravity could pull and bend light. To test this, astronomers decided to photograph a solar eclipse. The eclipse would allow them to photograph the stars before and during the solar eclipse. If the star's position moved, then it was evidence...
