Einstein's Universe: the scientist, the man, the musician - physicsworld.com
Einstein's Universe: the scientist, the man, the musician - physicsworld.com
Albert Einstein was the kind of physicist that you don't really find anymore – making so many remarkable contributions to so many different areas of physics.
But in addition to his scientific achievements, a lot is made about Einstein's colourful personal life, not least his lifelong passion for music.
Sharing this passion is particle physicist Brian Foster of the University of Oxford who has teamed up with the British musician Jack Liebeck to create a special show about Einstein. Currently touring the UK, "Einstein's Universe" involves a special lecture, interspersed with classical music, which explores Einstein's legacy to physics and the role music played in his life.
In this exclusive video report for physicsworld.com, I caught up with the pair on the day of a recent performance at St George's concert hall in Bristol, UK.

Take heed, O sick one, Never forsake this doorway.

While some believe the best way to repair Islam’s image is to reform the religion itself, Ms. Aly said the foundation is not interested in debating hardliners. “We haven’t entered into any dialogue with extremists, because we reject any extremism and we reject violence along with our fellow Britons, because they’re against the values of Islam or against the prophetic values.”
