The
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.
