Einstein This window depicts Einstein on a field of space, stars and heavenly bodies. The large yellow green jewel diagonal down and to the right is made of glass colored with uranium, as are the lighter rays emanating from him. Several of the jewels and objects in the window represent practical explanations of gravitational effects. To his left is a spiral swirl in a purple jewel representing a galaxy, and further to the left a small arc of light. Einstein predicted that you could see the same object in two locations from light bent around a dense object. I drew this into the design from a photograph of this effect which proved his theory.
