He was best known for Mass energy equivalence formula E=mc2and the only reason he was able to figure out this equation was because he was very smart. Both Ender and Albert Einstein are smart in different ways. Even though Ender in not as smart as Albert Einstein he was still able to overcome situation he had to go through.

Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison are smart when it comes to science and inventing or discovering. Martin Luther King Jr is smart when it comes to the Civil Right movement and maybe other things. Even though they all lived in a different time in the world they ended up having close to the same

Ender is first shown as intelligent and skillful, and Peter shows the same attributes throughout the story. Ender uses his intellect to triumph over his bullies, and this translates to his experience in the Battle Room. He has to outsmart the enemy, rather than beat them physically, and it worked in his favor the majority of the time. Ender understands when he has to use his physicality to beat a bully, but also knows when he has to strategize to avoid a certain situation. When Ender is encountered by Bonzo after he won the battle by disobeying Bonzo’s orders, he has to use his judgement rather than his fists to get what he wants. Ender argued with Bonzo, “‘... I’ll pretend that you won this argument. Then tomorrow you can tell me you changed your mind.’ ‘I don’t need you to tell me what to do.’ ‘I don’t want the other guys to think you backed down. You wouldn’t be able to command as well’” (Card 87). Ender understands what his enemy, in this case Bonzo, wants, and knows how he can make both of them get what they want. He doesn’t resolve to violence when he knows that he can use a different method that benefits him. Ender’s intelligence and strategizing helps him overcome the difficulty he approaches throughout his life. Peter also uses his intellect to benefit himself throughout the events that happen.
