Albert Einstein was already a world-famous physicist when the FBI started keeping a secret dossier on him in December 1932.
By the time of Einsteinâs death on April 18, 1955, that FBI file would be 1,427 pages long.
âUnthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth,â he declared in 1901.
The thousands of people expected to gather this weekend as part of the March for Science would likely agree.
The marchers say they are rallying for everything that science represents, including reason, open-mindedness, and evidence-based decision-making at every level of society.

That statement earned him outraged editorials in newspapers across the country, including the Washington Post and New York Times. »
