The German-born physicist Albert
Einstein developed the first of his groundbreaking theories while working as
a clerk in the Swiss patent office in Bern. After making his name with four
scientific articles published in 1905, he went on to win worldwide fame for
his general theory of relativity and a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his
explanation of the phenomenon known as the photoelectric effect. An outspoken
pacifist who was publicly identified with the Zionist movement, Einstein
emigrated from Germany to the United States when the Nazis took power before
World War II. He lived and worked in Princeton, New Jersey, for the remainder
of his life.
