Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, so today marks his 130th birthday.  Justifiably one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century, Einstein left his mark on several branches of physics, and his theoretical discoveries opened up possibilities that he himself did not dream of.  His famous formula, E = m c², played a major role in establishing how stars (including our own Sun) shine, and his theory of general relativity led to our modern understanding of the history and evolution of the universe, the field we know as cosmology.

On Monday, March 16 after the regular presentation, we will pay a brief homage to Albert Einstein. Admission is $5 per adult, $3 per child under 18, and $10 for a family of 3 or more. Lambuth students, faculty, and staff are admitted free with their ID.
