Not sure how they built this one but it certainly is not like the smooth and polished statues you get used to seeing around DC. That said he's bigger than he appears in most pictures and he's located so close the Lincoln memorial that he's definitely worth visiting.

Huge bronze statue, holding the Celestial Map. The location is visible from the street, at corner of the National Academy of Sciences. If you are in the area of the service memorials, such as Vietnam, Korean walk across Constitution Ave. to 21st street to locate the statue. The Mall Circulator that stops close to Korean, Vietnam Memorials will be closest, for a short walk.

He also helped alert the US government to the possibility of a German atomic bomb, which led to the US investment in the Manhattan Project. Also, his famous equation "e equals m c squared" related mass and energy in a way that showed the possible strength of any process that could unleash even part of that latent energy. He wasn't alone in either of these endeavors. For example, the letter he sent to President Roosevelt was converting information he had learned from another scientist. It's an interesting story, and Einstein (a committed pacifist) was distraught that this led to the US using nuclear weapons.
