I remember my gr.12 chem teacher telling us about the Einstein-Bohr debates and telling how basically Einstein was wrong and Bohr seemed to be much smarter than him. It was only later that I found out there were many other genius scientists of that era who made Einstein's work seem quite ordinary.
^ Agreed, annoying style of delivery. That Red Ice guy went a bit bonkers a few years ago, he used to be good. And that chick is terrible, lol can you imagine her nagging on you?
But seriously... Why/how do you figure Einstein became the uber-famous cultural icon that he is?
Was it just his crazy hair? Seriously, what exactly about him caused him to become such a celebrity? I mean he must be one of the most worldly-recognized/famous people in all of modern history, but most people likely couldn't tell you why. What is E=MC2? and what does it mean to regular folk to make them draw their attention to him in such numbers?
That is part of the presentation I found interesting, how he got the marketing machine behind him while others didn't. Why Tesla didn't, etc when they were inventing way cool shit that the masses would actually use and appreciate.
Why Einstein? Who would benefit from his promotion and celebrity? They paint an interesting context and possible explanation imo
