1905 was Albert Einstein's so called "miracle year" when he released four papers that changed our understanding of the universe. On the anniversary of his death this week, we'll look at Einstein the man, his theories, and how his work still surrounds us today. Laura's guests are Marcelo Gleiser, Appleton Professor of Natural Philosophy and Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Dartmouth College who has contributed an essay to an upcoming book on Einstein called "My Einstein First" and is the author of "The Dancing Universe" and Stanley Deser, Ancell Professor of Physics at Brandeis University.
