Happy Birthday, Albert

Yep. Today in 1879, in Ulm, Germany, Albert Einstein was born.


What else is there to say? Albert Einstein was born, and lived, and worked...



There's a nice poem here at Physics Buzz,

Young Albert E. and the Miracle Year
By James Riordon:

Well molecules and atoms at last were confirmed,
And solid state texts were rewritten or burned.
'Twas a wondrous discovery, though not without peer,
And it's hardly enough for a miracle year.

(It's hyperlinked and everything!)
