Impact
Einstein's theories have made him one of the most famous scientists and physicist in the world. He provided groundbreaking evidence for most of the "iffy" experiments of his time, like the Photoelectric Effect, atoms, and the Brownian motion. He revolutionized modern physics with the introduction of special and general relativity, mass and energy interrations, and light being not only a wave, but packets of finite quanta. Although he tried to refute quantam mechanics, but later accepting it, he pioneered the way for upcoming quantam physicists. Einstein brought a legacy with him, even till this day, that will never die. His advances in the world of physics and the everyday world around him is mind-blowing, and his accurateness in his theories still blows our minds to this day.
Atomic Bomb
Albert Einstein also instigated the U.S. to construct a atomic weapon, after much pressure from other scientists. He wrote a letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt and urged his permission to authorize the Manhattan Project, a research and development program to construct an atomic bomb. Although Einstein did not directly partake in the Manhattan Project, his research, such as mass and energy interrelations, along with special and general relativity theories helped the members of the program construct the bomb.
After the bomb was dropped on Hiroshami, Einstein partook in an international effort to control the destructive bomb. Einstein assembled the "Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists" to convince the U.S. to not monopolize nucleur war production, but instead, supply the United Nations nucleur weaponry to deter other countries from becoming hostile.

Humanism and Israel Support
Along with being a famous physicist, Einstein was also a beloved humanist and a activist for Israel. Einstein believed that Israel should have its own homeland, and was one of the leading figures for Israel to reach statehood. Once, after the president of Israel died, Einstein was offered the position of Presidency, but Einstein declined. Einstein is still accreddited as one of the leading factors of Israel becoming a state.
Einstein was also apart of the NAACP or the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People. He actively believed in the rights of negros, and that they should have the same rights as all other Americans. Einstein also shared socialist views, in which J. Edgar Hover, the long reigning Directer of the FBI, tried his hardest to frame Einstein of communism and infidelity, but failed.
