Because with Einstein, there was sort of a unified field theory between his personality– which was rebellious and impish and sometimes quite human– and his science, which was also very rebellious and visualized things. WALTER ISAACSON: Well I think it’s great. How well do you think Genius, the video, is portraying the same dynamic? Your biography did an excellent job of marrying Einstein-the-scientist with Einstein-the-person, his human attributes. WALTER ISAACSON: It’s always good to be back with you, Ira. Walter, thanks for taking time to be with us today. He’s president and CEO of the Aspen Institute also– very busy guy. But what do we know about Einstein, the person? The father of modern physics was also humorous, irreverent, romantic, impatient, and a musician, because he was, after all, human.Īnd that human side of Einstein is what’s on display in National Geographic’s new series, Genius, based on the 2007 biography by Walter Isaacson, Einstein, His Life and Universe. When I say, Albert Einstein, the first thing that comes to mind is what? An image of messy gray hair? e equals m-c squared? That is the Einstein we know as the scientist.
