I have read a dozen biographies on Einstein(the latest by Walter Issacson) and spent the last 15 years studying physics as I feel that is the edge of knowledge. Einstein, Feynman and Popper were all hard core liberals as are Mann and Hanson. In fact 51% of all scientists call themselves liberal and 80% lean democratic. Only 6% call themselves Republcians'. This is because scientists are all educated in both inductive and deductive logic and empiricism which pulled us out of the dark ages. em·pir·i·cism em'pir??siz?m/ noun Philosophy noun: empiricism 1. the theory that all knowledge is derived from sense-experience. Stimulated by the rise of experimental science, it developed in the 17th and 18th centuries, expounded in particular by John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume.
