           Great scientists often make their mark on

           history over the course of many years. Albert
           changed the world of physics in just one.




           As 1905 began, Albert found himself still
           without a teaching position, and still laboring

           away at the Bern patent office. But this would
           be an important year for the young scientist.

           Albert was in his mid-twenties, married, and
                                caring for a son. He was also

                                continuing to devote much of
                                his free time to his tireless

                                interest in physics. He had
                                written several papers for the

                                Annalen der Physik by this point,
                                but none were considered


                                Albert with his wife Mileva and their
                                newborn son, Hans Albert, in Zurich in 1904.
