Dropout. Pacifist. Physicist. Casanova. Refugee. Rebel. Genius. Think you know Einstein? Think again.
His face is instantly recognisable. His name is shorthand for genius. Today, he’s a figurehead as much as a man, symbolic of things larger than himself: of scientific progress, of the human mind, even of the age. But who was Einstein really?
In this talk, Samuel Graydon brings history’s most famous scientist back to life. From his lost daughter, escaping the Nazis, love letters, unlikely inventions, refusing the Presidency of Israel to the discoveries and thought experiments that changed science, Einstein in Time and Space tells unforgettable stories of
the man who redefined how we view our universe and our place within it.
Talks will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A.
Books will be sold at the Talks and online by The Bookshop at Canterbury Christ Church University.
