Dapper Dog's loves the Science

Albert Einstein is probably one of the most popular scientists in the world, especially in the West.  He in many ways defines what we consider a scientist in how they are portrayed and act.  The wild hair, the peculiar off-kilter attitude, and the absent minded nature that we associate with the brilliant mind stem from him.  In fact if we look at movies we can often pick out a scientist just by how Einstein like they are in appearance and mannerism.

But he is also a popular image that we associate with intellect, science, and profound knowledge that changes how we see the world and how we live.  The image is popular in nerd circles because it celebrates intellect and being different and yet still being popular.  The quote I find is very poignant for the class, because it alludes to the ultimate goal of science to explain the unexplainable.

To break down something that seems complex into something quite manageable.
