Albert Einstein Albert Einstein ( 1879 - 1955 ) was a theoretical physicist known to the world as one of the most important figures in 20th - century science . The Season 20 version of " Sesame Street " ’ s opening title sequence began with a shot of a statue of Einstein . Sculpted by Robert Berks in 1979 from a bust he created in 1953 of a live Einstein , the larger than life - size statue sits on the lawn of the National Academy of Sciences building in Washington , D . C . at Constitution Avenue & 22nd Street NW , just 400 yards north of the Lincoln Memorial . Einstein reached such worldwide fame that he became a figure of celebrity , and thus the subject of many pop - culture references that exist to this day . A particular facet of his personality that was a favorite of satirists was his accent . As a result , caricatures of scientists in situation comedy roles are frequently equipped with a mock German accent . One such example is the " Sesame Street " character Professor Nucleus Von Fission . One of the most important contributions Einstein made to the world was his formula stating that energy equals mass times the square of the speed of light inside a perfect vacuum , or , . It was this discovery that would lead to a number of advances in science , and only helped to advance his popularity . The formula itself exists as a celebrity , having made appearances in countless cases that have called for simple scientific formulae . One such example can be found in the 1966 film " The Idea Man " , when Limbo speaks of ideas that have already been thought of , while Dr . Bunsen Honeydew was often fond of scribbling variations of the formula in his notes found in the pages of " Muppet Magazine " ( one illustrated representation of his mind included the equation E = mice² next to a doodle of his mother ) . Other instances have included a representation of Dorothy ' s thoughts about school in a segment of , a in a classic recurring Muppet sketch , a book titled with the equation in a Muppet comic strip , and a Muppet folder by Mead which parodies the equation as grEen = mc² ( referencing both Kermit ' s skin color and an angle , as the folder was part of a " Save the Pond " themed binder ) . In the late 1990s , Apple Computer ' s " Think Different " campaign commissioned a one minute commercial showcasing some of the widely considered " geniuses " of our time , including Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog . Einstein ' s image opens the montage . Though Einstein himself died before the Muppets reached prominence , he was a known fan of television puppetry . On one occasion , the physicist interrupted a high - level conference by announcing , " You will have to excuse me , gentlemen . It ' s " " . "

The individual essays , contributed by more than a dozen different authors , are grouped into three larger sections . " Audience Participation " contains essays which look at the role of the audience ( and critics such as Statler and Waldorf ) within the Muppet world , as well as how audiences react to or are reflected in the puppet characters . " Adaptation and Performance " looks at aspects of puppetry , the Muppets as actors ( particularly in " The Muppet Christmas Carol " and " The Muppets ' Wizard of Oz " ) , William Shakespeare , and Gonzo as performance artiste . The final section , " Theories and Strategies , " focuses on ways of interpreting and critiquing the Muppets , venturing into such realms as gender studies ( via Miss Piggy ) , national identity ( and in particular the British influence and financial backing ) , and economics , to name a few . Publisher ' s description . " By the end of its five - year run on television , " The Muppet Show " had transformed its motley cast of characters from mere fistfuls of felt to true multi - media celebrities . Sophisticated and highly individuated , each of the Muppets nonetheless embodied a conventional character type from classic television comedy . Kermit , the manager of the show , functioned as straight man to the majority of the show ’ s jokes . Miss Piggy , the resident diva , evolved from first season chorus girl to full - fledged megastar . The Costello to Kermit ’ s Abbott , Fozzie peddled his vaudevillian shtick to a tough audience , but his genuine sweetness made him lovable even when his jokes were terrible . Intended for both scholarly and general audiences , these essays represent the work and ideas of a global community of scholars and Muppet enthusiasts , providing a unique perspective on just how Kermit and the rest of the frogs , dogs , bears , and chickens became cultural icons with influences reaching far beyond the world of 1970s television comedy .
