Curiosity Killed the Lights - Albert Einstein and the Theory of Special Relativity (Kevin Mathews Tharakan's 5th Post)

Just like most people around the world, I thought I knew most about Albert Einstein, but when I started reading about him, I realized that there was much more to the story. Unlike most people might perceive Einstein was not a very smart kid when he was younger, he was actually very slow. No he was not the least bit stupid, but he was so preoccupied with what was going on around him and it intrigued him how things worked; this is something I can completely relate to because as I mentioned before I used to take apart electronics and study how it worked so i could make my own toys. The society however, did not notice why Einstein seem to be stupid, when he actually was not and people mocked him a lot. Unlike Issac Newton who, after being mocked made the decision to not publish his work anymore, I truly admire Albert Einstein. Even though many people expected nothing great from him, since he was "slow" and even though every one mocked him and put him down, he pushed through and persevered and proved them all wrong by not conforming to the societies idea and doing what he was meant to do. One thing I did not like however, was that Herbert Spencer applied Darwin's ideas to society and came up with Social Darwinism. I do not like this because unlike Darwin, who was actually very religious person who believed that God created us all, who only suggested that the God who created us could have created us through evolution. But Spencer took it too far when he applied it to the society and said poor people are poor because they are meant to be. Now that is just outrageous because look at America right now even the rich people are becoming poorer because of the economy so, I do not agree with Spencer. What do you guys think about Social Darwinism?
