Think of some people you knew who have departed from this life, and who have left behind a good legacy.

According to Mose Niccky, A Positive Mind Blogger, some of the leaders who have left the biggest legacy include
  • Albert Einstein (1879-1955) ...
  • Marie Curie (1867-1934) ...

What features of their legacy do you appreciate?
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
The Nobel Prize-winning German theoretical physicist is responsible for developing the theory of relativity. Not only that, but the famously eccentric genius also came up with the mass-energy equivalence formula, E = mc². In 1921, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics, having discovered the law of the photoelectric effect. This was to become pivotal in the evolution of quantum theory.

E = mc², is the world's most famous equation, but what does it really mean? "Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. In terms of SI base units of energy, joule is equal to a kilogram times meter squared divided by a second squared (kg×m²×s‾²).

Many everyday devices, from smoke detectors to exit signs, also host an ongoing, invisible fireworks of E = mc² transformations. Radiocarbon dating, which archaeologists use to date ancient material, is yet another application of the formula.
 
Marie Curie (1867-1934)
Marie Skłodowska Curie, the Polish physicist and chemist became famous for her work conducting pioneering research on radioactivity. She discovered two new chemicals, radium and polonium and used her knowledge to carry out the first research into treating tumours with radiation. She was the first woman to earn a Nobel Prize, the only woman to earn it twice and the first person to earn one in two separate sciences.

When World War I broke out in 1914, Curie devoted her time and resources to help the cause with development of X-rays. She championed the use of portable X-ray machines in the field, and these medical vehicles earned the nickname "Little Curies."

Curie died on July 4, 1934, of aplastic anemia, believed to be caused by prolonged exposure to radiation. She was known to carry test tubes of radium around in the pocket of her lab coat. Her many years working with radioactive materials took a toll on her health.


What do they (features of their legacy) say about their beliefs, values, relationships, and priorities in life?
Radioactivity is E = mc2 in miniature. Einstein himself suspected this even as he devised the equation. In the 1905 paper in which he introduced E = mc2 to the world, he suggested that it might be possible to test his theory about the equation using radium, an ounce of which, as Marie Curie had discovered not long before, continuously emits 4,000 calories of heat per hour. Einstein believed that radium was constantly converting part of its mass to energy exactly as his equation specified. He was eventually proved right.

Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". He published a paper on general relativity in 1916, introducing his theory of gravitation. In 1917, he applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe.

Albert Einstein was a civil rights activist before the civil rights movement. He was a strong supporter of civil rights and free speech. When W.E.B. Du Bois was indicted in 1951 as an unregistered agent for a foreign power, Einstein volunteered to testify as a character witness on his behalf. After Du Bois’s lawyer informed the court that Einstein would appear, the judge decided to dismiss the case. His legacies and many other achievements were enough to convince the judge his righteousness.

Around 1911, Curie joined with other famous scientists, including Albert Einstein and Max Planck, to attend the first Solvay Congress in Physics and discuss the many groundbreaking discoveries in their field. These ultimately benefited the world and its future generations.

The legacies they leave behind represents their character, attitudes and ministry - it is a living legacy. They leave behind what shaped their lives - their beliefs, values, principles, relationships, priorities in life, and precepts for living. These are the legacies left behind which have inspired so many and have been demonstrated in the lives of so many down the centuries.


How do these legacies bring glory to God?
Einstein, instead of being a relic, may have been too far ahead of his time. The strong force, a major piece of any unified field theory, was still a total mystery in Einstein’s lifetime. Only in the 1970s and ’80s did physicists begin to unravel the secret of the strong force with the quark model. Nevertheless, Einstein’s work continues to win Nobel Prizes for succeeding physicists. In 1993 a Nobel Prize was awarded to the discoverers of gravitation waves, predicted by Einstein. In 1995 a Nobel Prize was awarded to the discoverers of Bose-Einstein condensates (a new form of matter that can occur at extremely low temperatures). Known black holes now number in the thousands. New generations of space satellites have continued to verify the cosmology of Einstein. And many leading physicists are trying to finish Einstein’s ultimate dream of a “theory of everything.”

Through a series of sophisticated “thought experiments,” Einstein tried to find logical inconsistencies in the quantum theory, particularly its lack of a deterministic mechanism. Einstein would often say that “God does not play dice with the universe.”

Einstein starts off with a beautiful piece of mathematics that's based on some very deep insights into the way the universe works and then, from that, makes predictions about what ought to happen in the world. That's one of the legacies — that we thought was the power of human creativity in the sciences, is actually what Einstein himself might have said, 'to know the mind of God.' The legacy could only shed some light on God's creation - how we derived heat from the sun, that shows no sign of diminishing.

Like Einstein, Curie made many breakthroughs in her lifetime. Remembered as a leading figure in science and a role model for women, she has received numerous posthumous honours. Several educational and research institutions and medical centers bear the Curie name, including the Curie Institute and Pierre and Marie Curie University (UPMC).

The legacies of Einstein, Marie Curie, and other Physicists bring glory to God by contributing to the evolution of quantum theory, and their work in Physics such as radioactivity. On the day God take them home, His work in them and through them are finished - to His glory.

Because God is working in us and through us, as we cooperate with God and let Him reproduce Christ's character and ministry in our lives, we will leave behind a living legacy shaped by His grace and power.

The legacies of Einstein, Marie Curie, and other Physicists bring glory to God by contributing to the evolution of quantum theory, and their work in Physics such as radioactivity. On the day God take them home, His work in them and through them are finished - to His glory. [1]

Because God is working in us and through us, as we cooperate with God and let Him reproduce Christ's character and ministry in our lives, we will leave behind a living legacy shaped by His grace and power. [1]

Dear Lord
PHOTO: "Dear Lord, we learn that some of the leaders who have left the biggest legacy include Albert Einstein (1879-1955) and Marie Curie (1867-1934).

We appreciate Albert Einstein for developing the theory of relativity, and his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. This was to become pivotal in the evolution of quantum theory.

Many everyday devices, from smoke detectors to exit signs, also host an ongoing, invisible fireworks of E = mc² transformations. Radiocarbon dating, which archaeologists use to date ancient material, is yet another application of the formula.

We appreciate too, Marie Skłodowska Curie, the Polish physicist and chemist for her work conducting pioneering research on radioactivity. She discovered two new chemicals, radium and polonium and used her knowledge to carry out the first research into treating tumours with radiation. When World War I broke out in 1914, Curie devoted her time and resources to help the cause with development of X-rays. She championed the use of portable X-ray machines in the field.

Einstein suggested that it might be possible to test his theory about the equation using radium, an ounce of which, as Marie Curie had discovered not long before, continuously emits 4,000 calories of heat per hour. Einstein believed that radium was constantly converting part of its mass to energy exactly as his equation specified. He was eventually proved right.

When W.E.B. Du Bois was indicted in 1951 as an unregistered agent for a foreign power, Einstein volunteered to testify as a character witness on his behalf. After Du Bois’s lawyer informed the court that Einstein would appear, the judge decided to dismiss the case. His legacies and many other achievements were enough to convince the judge his righteousness.

Around 1911, Curie joined with other famous scientists, including Albert Einstein and Max Planck, to attend the first Solvay Congress in Physics and discuss the many groundbreaking discoveries in their field.

The legacies they leave behind represents their character, attitudes and ministry - it is a living legacy. They leave behind what shaped their lives - their beliefs, values, principles, relationships, priorities in life, and precepts for living. These are the legacies left behind which have inspired so many and have been demonstrated in the lives of so many down the centuries.

Lord, we learn that through a series of sophisticated “thought experiments,” Einstein tried to find logical inconsistencies in the quantum theory, particularly its lack of a deterministic mechanism. But he would often say that ‘God does not play dice with the universe.’

The legacies — that we thought was the power of human creativity in the sciences, is actually what Einstein himself might have said, 'to know the mind of God.' Their legacies merely shed some light on God's creations.

Lord, like Einstein, Curie made many breakthroughs in her lifetime. Remembered as a leading figure in science and a role model for women, she has received numerous posthumous honours. Several educational and research institutions and medical centers bear the Curie name.

The legacies of Einstein, Marie Curie, and other Physicists bring glory to You by contributing to the evolution of quantum theory, and their work in Physics such as radioactivity. On the day You take them home, Your work in them and through them are finished - to Your glory.

Lord, we pray that You continue working in us and through us. Help us to cooperate with You and let You reproduce Christ's character and ministry in our lives. May we leave behind a living legacy shaped by Your grace and power.

Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"
