Even in a field in which the most brilliant minds are inevitably compared with Albert Einstein, Spergel stands out. Beginning as an undergraduate at Princeton in the early 1980s, he has navigated from one knotty problem to another--not as a dilettante academic dabbling at the edges but as a key player making important contributions at every turn...
...Frederic Golden: As Einstein said about relativity, if one thing goes wrong, the whole theory falls apart like a house of cards. And in terms of the fundamental laws of physics and the universe - which are supposed to be universal - this could be the one thing...

...have been very exciting to him. As it is to today?s physicists - this study is going be combed over and combed over, and it?s going to provoke an enormous amount of discussion. If it holds up, it could change the way we look at the universe, and Einstein was always interested in that...
...String theory certainly has the potential to do what Einstein couldn?t - happily unify the subatomic and Newtonian worlds - and he?d probably prefer it to a universe explained by quantum theory. Einstein hated the idea of God playing dice with the universe - a God that played violin would have been much more to his liking...
