Dr. Joseph H. Taylor, Jr.

“Albert Einstein lived in Princeton for 22 years. I support the plan to build a museum here focused on his science and legacy.”

Dr. James Peebles

2019 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, Albert Einstein Professor of Science Emeritus, Princeton University

“When Einstein settled in Princeton and became a member of the new Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, his great prestige drew others and helped make the Institute a world treasure. It is a source of inspiration for younger visitors, and a refuge for more advanced scholars who can finish that book or refresh their minds. An Einstein museum of science would be a most appropriate way to remind our community of this example of Einstein’s influence, and tell visitors about it.”

Dr. Abraham (Avi) Loeb

Frank B. Baird, Jr. Professor of Science, Harvard University

Dr. Alan Lightman

He is currently professor of the practice of the humanities at MIT. He is the author of numerous books, both nonfiction and fiction, including Einstein’s Dreams, an international bestseller, and The Diagnosis, a finalist for the National Book Award in fiction. His book Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine is now being made into a PBS series.
