Albert Einstein Memorial / May they Release Your Creative Spirit

We have dedicated several pages here on OptimalModication.com to honor the brilliant mind and entrepreneurial spirit of Albert Einstein. How do we pay homage to a man whose contributions to science are a source of both gratitude and awe up to this day, and whose inventions left us in awe? Read on for answers...

Albert Einstein Memorial /
The Main Event

The 12-foot high Albert Einstein Memorial at the grounds of the National Academy of Sciences on Constitution Avenue, Washington, D.C. was built in honor of the German physicist who altered the 20th century vision of physical reality.

The Albert Einstein Memorial is located near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, nestled in a cluster of elm and holly trees at the southwest corner of the NAS grounds in central Washington, D.C.

The bronze statue depicts the Nobel Prize for physics awardee seated on the white granite steps holding manuscript papers in his left hand.

Engraved on the “manuscripts” are the three equations that encapsulate Einstein’s three main contributions to physics and which revolutionized the concepts of time, space, motion, mass, and gravitation: the photoelectric effect, the theory of general relativity, and the equivalence of energy and matter.

Albert Einstein Memorial / Quotes

The Albert Einstein Memorial also pays tribute to some of the most famous Einstein quotes. Inscribed behind the granite bench are three statements that speak volumes about Einstein’s integrity and perpetual curiosity about the universe.

• "As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance, and equality of all citizens before the law prevail."
  
  
• "Joy and amazement of the beauty and grandeur of this world of which man can just form a faint notion …"
  
  
• "The right to search for truth implies also a duty; one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true."

According to the NAS website: "The star map at the statue's base--a 28-foot field of emerald pearl granite from Larvik, Norway, is embedded with more than 2,700 metal studs representing the planets, sun, moon, stars, and other celestial objects accurately positioned by astronomers from the U.S. Naval Observatory as they were on the dedication date."

The Albert Einstein Memorial was unveiled and dedicated at the Academy convocation on April 22, 1979, the centennial of Einstein’s birth. The statue weighs 4 tons. The monument is supported by three caissons weighing 135 tons.   

During the dedication, Professor John Archibald Wheeler said of the Albert Einstein Memorial: “A monument to the man who united space and time into spacetime...a remembrance of the man who taught us...that the universe does not go on from everlasting to everlasting, but begins with a bang."

Robert Berks, who also did the portrait bust of President John F. Kennedy at Washington’s Kennedy Center as well as portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Ernest Hemingway and many others, sculpted the statue. He sculpted the image in 19 sections and welded them together.

The bust he made of Einstein two years before the scientist’s death in 1955 became the model for the bronze image. It took him 10 months, and with the assistance of 25 crew members to complete the masterpiece.

Architect James A. Van Sweden designed the landscape for the Albert Einstein Memorial which has become a favorite playground for kids and destination for tourists who want to contemplate Einstein’s thought-provoking theories.  

Einstein came to the United States in 1933 and joined the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton, New Jersey which he remained affiliated with until his death. He was naturalized in 1940 and two years later, became a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
