Israel 1956 – Albert Einstein
As one of the greatest scientists of all
time, Albert Einstein (1879–1955) has understandably
featured on numerous stamps from around the world. His first
appearance was on this Israeli stamp issued the year after his
death. It came with a nice souvenir tab, as Israeli stamps
commonly do.
Einstein’s theory of relativity was
the foundation of modern cosmology and of our understanding of
gravity and the Universe. Recently even his so-called
cosmological constant, a factor which he once described as his
“greatest blunder”, has been revived as a possible
explanation for the apparent acceleration of the expanding
Universe.
