George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950), the Irish playwright and 1925 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, paid public tribute to physicist Albert Einstein (1879–1955) at a speech delivered at the Savoy Hotel in London on 27 October 1930. In his address, Shaw, known for his sharp wit and social commentary, deepened our understanding by offering profound insights into the relativity of any human knowledge. This moment reflects a rare intersection between two towering figures of the 20th century, whose ideas reshaped not only the world of science but also the broader intellectual landscape. " There is always a great deal to conceal.If you take the typical great man of our historic epoch,and suppose that I had to rise here tonight to propose a toast to Napoleon.Well, undoubtedly I could say many very flattering things about Napoleon. But the one thing which I should not be able to say about him would be perhaps the most important thing. And that was that it would perhaps have been better for the human race if he had never been born. Napoleon, and other great man of his type, they were makers of empire.But there's an order of men who get beyond that.They are not makers of empire, but they are makers of universe.And when they have made those univeres, their hands are unstained by the blood of any human being on Earth. Ptolemy made a universe which lasted 1400 years.Newton also made a universe which has lasted 300 years.Einstein has made a universe and I can't tell you how long that will last.
