The life of Albert Einstein is a model in many ways for both natural and political scientists.
First of all, he always employed the scientific method of seeking truth from facts. He firmly believed as he put it, that “there is nothing incomprehensible about the universe,”and through painstaking work, explained many of the phenomena thought to be “incomprehensible” in his day. Einstein was also never afraid to admit mistakes when facts proved his theories wrong.
Second, Einstein’s contributions showed the great importance of theoretical work to scientific effort. Although he himself rarely worked in laboratories, the concepts he developed led to many of the scientific advances which have shaped modern technology.
Third, Einstein believed very deeply that scientists must have a moral and social consciousness. In this way, he provided inspiration for a whole generation of scientists who became active in the Communist movement.
Einstein is often portrayed in bourgeois writings as a “genius”whose theories are so complicated that no one but a few best scientists can understand them. But he himself rejected the efforts to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble manner and often stressed to interviewers that his accomplishments would certainly have been achieved by others had he never lived.
Actually, Einstein’s theory of relativity and his other scientific works are not that hard to understand with a little study. But beyond learning Einstein’s theories, his overall attitude towards science as a tool to liberate humanity is something from which everyone can and should learn.

Between now and the end of the century, there will be many exciting developments and also many difficult problems to deal with. Perhaps the most urgent problem is to provide enough food. The world’s population is expected to reach 7,000 million by the year 2000, but already scientists have produced new and better varieties of wheat and rice and animal. They have also been experimenting with techniques of cultivating plants by using mixtures of chemical compounds and water only, and then there will be no need for ordinary soil. Another problem which the world will face is to get rid of refuse (廢料). One solution is to burn refuse at very high temperatures in incinerators (焚化爐). A development of this, which may prove very useful in the future, is to use these incinerators to generate steam power. In fact, any new source of energy will be very welcome, as there is already a shortage of petroleum. To solve the energy problem, scientists will probably also try to make more use of solar energy.
The possible effects of some scientific fields, such as lasers and cryogenics (低溫學), are difficult to imagine and both already have a number of uses. The supercooling effects of the cryogenics which convert liquid helium (液態氦) and other gases into “superfluids” and metals into “superconductors”, making them non-resistant to electricity, could change the world in a number of ways. The laser, with its beam of strong light, can drill a hole in a diamond, and yet can be so well controlled that it can be used in delicate eye operations. The question is whether it will be most used for peaceful purposes or as a deadly weapon.
But perhaps the most remarkable developments will occur in space flight. One of the difficulties in the past has been the high cost, but now the space shuttle is being developed, and can be used a large number of times instead of only once. Already man has been to the moon. Perhaps by the end of the century he will have had a close-up view of Venus (金星) or Mars (火星).

阿伯特·愛因斯坦的一生在許多方面，無論是對自然科學家，還是政治科學家，都是一個范例。
首先，他總是運用從事實中尋求真理的地。正如他所說的，他堅信“關于宇宙沒有東西是不可知的，”并經過艱苦的勞動，了許多在他那個時代被認為是“不可知”的種種現象。而且，當事實證明他的理論是錯誤的時候，愛因斯坦也從不害怕承認錯誤。
其次，愛因斯坦的貢獻說明理論工作對科學成就的巨大的重要性。雖然他自己很少在實驗室工作，他所發展的各種概念使科學取得了許多進展，從而形成了現代技術。
第三，愛因斯坦深信科學家必須具有道德和社會意識。這樣，他鼓舞了整個一代的科學家，使他們積極參加共產主義運動。
愛因斯坦在資產階級的筆下被描繪為一個“天才”，他的理論是如此地難于理解，以致只有少數最杰出的科學家才能懂得。但是，他本人不同意別人把他高置于他人之上的那些做法。他的謙遜態度是眾所周知的，他常常對來訪者強調說，如果沒有他的話，別人也肯定能夠取得他那樣的成就。
事實上，愛因斯坦的相對論以及他的其他科學論著稍加研究是不難懂得的。但是除了學習愛因斯坦的理論外，他對于利用科學作為一種工具來解放人類的總的態度是每個人能夠學習的，而且也是應該學習的。

從現在到本世紀末，將有許多令人興奮的發展，同樣也有許多困難的問題，需要加以處理。也許最為迫切的問題是提供足夠的糧食。到2000年世界人口預期將達到70億，但是科學家們已經培育出各種小麥、稻谷和牲畜的優良品種。他們還在實驗只用化合物和水的混合劑來培植作物的技術，到那里就可不需一般的土壤了。世界將面對著的另一問題是處理廢物。有一個解決辦法就是在焚化爐中用高溫的廢物燒掉。這種方法的一個新發展，可能在將來證明極為有用，即是以這些焚火爐來產生蒸汽動力。事實是，任何新的能源都將是非常受歡迎的，因為石油已感不足。要解決能源問題，科學家們也許會高潮更多地利用太陽能。
諸如激光學和低溫學，某些科學領域的可能作用是難以想象的，它們兩者已經有若干用途。低溫學的過冷作用將液態氦及某些氣體變成“超流體”，將某些金屬變成“超導體”，使它們沒有電阻，從而可以在好些方面改變世界面貌。激光，以它強烈的光束，可在金剛石上鉆孔，也可以很好地加以控制來進行難做的眼科手術。問題是它將被大量用于和平的目的呢，還是用途致使的武器。
但最驚人的發展也許將出現在宇宙飛行方面。過去的困難之一在于代價太高。但現在航天飛機正在發展，這種航天飛機可以使用多次而不是僅僅一次而已。人類已經到過月球。也許到本世紀末人類對金星或火星等將有一個精細的觀察。
