Albert Einstein and Religion
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The United Nations has proclaimed 2005 as the "International Year of Physics". This celebration is motivated by the figure of Albert Einstein who a century ago, in 1905, published five papers that changed the paradigm of the physical sciences. Albert Einstein died half a century ago, on 18 April 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey (USA). He had just turned 76 years old. Einstein revolutionised the world of science and philosophy (and therefore some aspects of theology) with his new theories on light, space and time. Projection wants to gloss his figure and show its readers one of the aspects of his personality: his attitude towards religion. After a quick look at Einstein's scientific life, three aspects of science and religion are highlighted: Einstein's religiosity and the role of religion in his private life, the philosophy of religion that underlies Einstein's writings and, finally, the principles of physics and their relationship with theology.
