I just spent the last half-hour poking around responses to the following survey which was announced by Spike...

2005 - announced as Einstein Year - marks the centenary of the publication of Albert Einstein's equation E = mc2. To mark this occasion, spiked, in association with NESTA and science communicator Alom Shaha, conducted a survey of over 250 renowned scientists, science communicators, and educators, including 11 Nobel laureates. Each was asked: what would you teach the world about science and why, if you could pick just one thing...?

Respondents include:
- RICHARD DAWKINS
- SIMON SINGH
- COLIN BERRY
- K ERIC DREXLER
- SUSAN HAACK
- MATT RIDLEY
- JOHN STACHEL
- JOHN SULSTON
- RAYMOND TALLIS
- PAUL DAVIES
Read the survey responses in full, and watch four accompanying films, here.
