TITLE:
Albert Einstein -The man behind the myth -The secret behind the success
ABSTRACT:

This year’s Mulligan Lecture is about Albert Einstein’s exceptional journey towards extraordinary discoveries.
-Why were his ideas so revolutionary? -What enabled him to catch a glimpse of the true beauty of nature before anybody else? -And what can we learn from this man who was born over a century ago but was wise beyond his time? These questions among others will be answered in the Mulligan lecture on May 14th.
