Albert Einstein statue. Sit on Einstein's Lap

Cool statue and a definite for every scientists; it is right outside the National Academy of Sciences. Cool to stand on and take pics with.

Albert Einstein Statue

Not only will you want to visit this statue of Albert Einstein the next time you are in DC, but you will also want to have a talk with Albert while you are there. This large statue pictures him contemplating a map of the universe as he knew it. The map is made of black granite with some 2,400 steel studs representing the heavenly bodies. If you stand in the center of the universe and talk directly at Einstein you will get an interesting acoustic echo.

Also, be sure to sit on his lap... it is very comforting.
