PRINCETON’S RENAISSANCE MAN AT 125

EVENTS FROM PRINCETON TO PHILADELPHIA MARK THE ATHLETE, ACTOR, AND ACTIVIST’S 125TH BIRTHDAY. PAGE 12.

To the editor: Excited by a true tribute to Einstein

Iwasso glad to read the interview with Elizabeth Romanaux about the planned Einstein Museum of Science. (The Echo, March 2023)

When I told my children, all of whom grew up in Princeton during my 52 years here, one said immediately, “Well, it’s about time!” I agree. We, have had visitors for years who have asked “where is an Einstein museum?”

The details and vision that Ms. Romanaux expresses are much more than just a memorial to Albert Einstein.

The museum she imagines is an interactive one that teaches visitors about Einstein’s theories, which have become facts, accepted in the scientific world.

So many of them have been challenged, only to continue to be proven by new discoveries. Your article was very well written, and engendered lots of excitement to many. Thank you.
