Interesting… at this current stage, I am nowhere near as brilliant as Albert Einstein was. Albert Einstein was one of the most brilliant scientists this world has ever seen. In one year alone, he created 4 absolutely amazing theories which describe the universe we live in. Given that I am only one year into academia, I cannot compare! Albert Einstein, academically, is hugely inspirational to me. He laid the building blocks of the mathematics/physics which I’m hugely interested in. As Sir Isaac Newton once said: “If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants”. This means that whatever I work on and solve in future, it is purely down to the incredible scientists that existed before my time!
