In this fascinating volume, today’s foremost scientists discuss their own versions and visions of Einstein: how he has influenced their worldviews, their ideas, their science, and their professional and personal lives。 These twenty-four essays are a testament to the power of scientific legacy and are essential reading for scientist and layperson alike。

• Roger Highfield on the Einstein myth。
• John Archibald Wheeler on his meetings with Einstein。
• Gino C。 Segrè, Lee Smolin, and Anton Zeilinger on Einstein’s difficulties with quantum theory。
• Leon M。 Lederman on the special theory of relativity。
• Frank J。 Tipler on why Einstein should be seen as a scientific reactionary rather than a scientific revolutionary。
