How would you introduce Albert Einstein?

To say that my hero, Einstein, is the "maker of universe" is unacceptable even for an agnostic fan, like myself, of this great thinker. George was probably using the word metaphorically. A playwright's privilege, I suppose, but as a student of science & philosophy, I would say he is as much part of a demolition team of the mechanical universe, as he is a rennovator of a metaphysical universe. He and other theorists, such as Pauli & Heisenberg, have restored (at least partially in my opinion) the pride and role of mysticism for scientific and spiritual truth-seekers. Without knowing what Shaw had in mind when he made his introduction, I would leave the above comments as I share this interesting clip with a little girl I love. She has just written her first 10-page story about the GBS's last play, which I totally enjoyed reading and re-reading over the last 3 weeks. I feel she should watch this legendary icon in action before turning the paper in.
