    Einstein addresses Phyllis personally and simply, he does not refer to anyone else. When Einstein declares that “scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the actions of people,” he involves his passion for science and what his ideas are based upon appealing to the passion of his audience. Einstein also speaks of man’s modest powers and about feeling humble whether in the face of a superior spirit or nature especially when he states “a spirit vastly convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe –a spirit vastly superior to that of a man, and one in the face of which we, with our modest powers must feel humble.” The writer Einstein looks at both sides of the argument and admits that science is imperfect. He relates the laws of nature to a sort of faith. He assumes that most people have a belief in a “higher power” regardless of its manifestation, meaning he is offering logic to Phyllis. For the reason that Einstein addresses Phyllis a sixth-grade student his diction is simple to a degree that it makes sense to her.…

    Einstein’s quote is accurate because when people are given the privilege of knowledge, they are also given the responsibility to educate and assist in improving their communities. Luis Suarez’s article “Why Do I Share My Knowledge” says humans are always “bound to share what [they] know with others, so that our learning curve never becomes flat.” Suarez is stating that as long as humans who are given the privilege to know…

    Einstein became an American citizen in 1940. Not long after settling into his career at the Institute for Advanced Study (in Princeton, New Jersey), he expressed his appreciation of the "meritocracy" in American culture when compared to Europe. According to Isaacson, he recognized the "right of individuals to say and think what they pleased", without social barriers, and as result, the individual was "encouraged" to be more creative, a trait he valued from his own early education. Einstein writes:…

    Considering the fact that Einstein is a name known throughout the world and is one of the most legendary scientists known to man, Einstein establishes ethos right away. He has what you could call, “automatic ethos.” Most people wouldn’t dare to doubt a Nobel-prize winner. Having that in mind, Einstein has a strong amount of credibility to speak on behalf of science and religion through his perspective. Einstein also uses ordinary jargon that any average human could understand, causing people to think highly of him. “It must be admitted our actual knowledge of these laws is only imperfect and fragmentary.” By using words such as “our”, Einstein preserves his ethos by establishing himself as a common man, instead of the Nobel-prize winner. This helps his audience relate to his points.…

    His IQ (intelligence quotient) was one hundred sixty. A normal IQ ranges from about eighty five to one hundred fifteen according to the Stanford-Binet test. At the age of only twenty-six, Einstein had already came up with the quantum theory of light, the theory of special relativity, and he proved the existence of atoms. Einstein had come up with many of his own theories and society didn't agree with him because it was different from the way they did things. They looked down on him because of the way he rebelled.…

    We have praised Einstein over the past decades for his successful inventions due to the mass of knowledge he upholds. Although, what most people do not know is that he is the reason we have atomic bombs today. After the United States order to bomb Japan with an atomic bomb, Einstein lived with regret. Einstein observed the thousands of lives taken away with his creation and the destroction it left behind. He once said that he wished he had never ever created the "atomic bomb." Like I said before how much knowledge is too much to realize that it becomes a powerful weapon,…
