(CNN) -- With the ballots in for CNNI's Best of the Millennium vote in the science category, it's no surprise that an overwhelming majority of respondents chose Albert Einstein as the greatest scientist of the past 1,000 years.
His name has, in fact, become synonymous with the word "genius" -- as in "you're no Einstein."
Dr. Amir D. Aczel, himself an internationally known mathematician and author of several scientific books, delved into the work of the great man and some little-known aspects of his personality in his latest, "God's Equation: Einstein, Relativity and the Expanding Universe" (Four Walls Eight Windows).
Aczel lends some of his insight into the man he says had the greatest insight of the millennium, on CNNI's "Q & A."
