Albert Einstein, physicist
Albert Einstein (1879-1955), German-Swiss-US physicist. Born in Ulm, Germany, Einstein studied at the Zurich Polytechnic Institute until the age of 21, then worked at the Swiss patent office. In 1905, while still at the patent office, he published a paper on the special theory of relativity, which resulted in the famous equation E=mc2, which states that mass (m) and energy (E) are related by the square of the speed of light (c). However, it was for work on the photoelectric effect that he received the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics. Einstein moved to the USA in 1933 where he encouraged the first atomic bomb project. Later in life he became a prominent campaigner for nuclear disarmament

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Albert Einstein, a brilliant physicist whose contributions to science continue to shape our understanding of the universe. Born in Ulm, Germany in 1879, Einstein's intellectual journey began at the Zurich Polytechnic Institute and later led him to work at the Swiss patent office. In 1905, while still employed at the patent office, he revolutionized physics with his groundbreaking paper on the special theory of relativity. This seminal work introduced us to one of his most famous equations: E=mc2. It revealed that mass and energy are intricately connected through the speed of light squared. Einstein's genius extended beyond theoretical concepts; it was for his research on the photoelectric effect that he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. His relentless pursuit of knowledge eventually brought him to America in 1933, where he played a significant role in encouraging scientific advancements such as the Manhattan Project. Throughout his life, Einstein became an influential advocate for nuclear disarmament amidst growing concerns about atomic weapons. His legacy as both a scientist and humanitarian remains indelible. This remarkable illustration from Science Photo Library pays tribute to this extraordinary man who forever altered our perception of reality through his profound insights into physics and unwavering commitment to global peace.
