Although his early theories paved the way for the atomic bomb, Einstein later became a peace activist, saying, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." By the time he died in 1955, he was considered not only the most important scientist of his time, but the smartest man alive.
