Scientific American has an article on their website about Albert Einstein.

The Patent Clerk's Legacy

"Albert Einstein looms over 20th-century physics as its defining, emblematic figure. His work altered forever the way we view the natural world. "Newton, please forgive me," Einstein begged as relativity theory wholly obliterated the absolutes of time and space that the reigning arbiter of all things physical had embraced more than two centuries earlier."

It makes for interesting reading about Einstein. The article is an introduction to the September issue of Scientific American which I think would be very interesting to a lot of people here.

And, for those of you who live in LA or the outlying areas, there is an exhibit at the Skirball Museum on Einstein. The Skirball is on the Sepulveda-Mulholland intersection. For futher information, there is an article on the exhibit in the Jewish Journal.
