− | '''Albert Einstein''' is generally regarded as the greatest theoretical [[Physics|physicist]] of the twentieth century, if not of all [[time]]. Modern physics bears his mark more than any other physicist. His [[Special Theory of Relativity]] changed our conceptions of [[space]], [[time]], motion, and [[matter]], and his [[General Theory of Relativity]] was the first new theory of [[graity|gravitation]] since [[Isaac Newton]]'s. Yet his work went beyond the boundaries of physics as he engaged himself in the educational, [[culture|cultural]], and philosophical concerns of his generation. Less known is Einstein's interest and personal engagement in [[Religion|religious]] matters. In specific, he strongly opposed the proposition that science and religion are irreconcilable. | + | '''Albert Einstein''' is generally regarded as the greatest theoretical [[Physics|physicist]] of the twentieth century, if not of all [[time]].
