| ABSTRACT: |
The impact of the work of Albert Einstein on accelerator physics is described. Because of the limit of time, and also because the audience knows the details, the impact is described in broad strokes. Nevertheless,it is seen how his work has affected many different aspects of accelerator physics.
Then, Albert Einstein's impact on the world will be discussed; namely his work on world peace (including his role as a pacifist,in the atomic bomb, and in arms control) and his efforts as a humanitarian (including his efforts on social justice, anti-racism,and civil rights).
