These twenty-four essays are a testament to the power of scientific legacy and are essential reading for scientist and layperson alike.Contributors include: - 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
