His papers in a single year 1905, when he was 26 not only set forth the special theory of relativity but laid the foundations of quantum theory as well.

At that time, she wrote, many poor, ill-clothed but often very intelligent Russian. Jews were studying in Berne. However, the Swiss, in their peaceful, clean, well-ordered" city, did not think much of them, nor, apparently, of "Poly" in Zurich, his studies there were clouded with dismay over his fathers misfortunes.

The correspondence at Princeton tells of Einsteins efforts to obtain the equivalent of a high school teaching post, which he thought would give him more time for Ms theoretical work.

The school In Munich where he did his early studies during the 1890s was word-oriented. The teaching was largely by rote and, according to his sister, his room teacher reported that nothing good would ever come of the young Einstein.

It was there, at the age of 16, that he performed a thought experiment" symptomatic of his growing interest in the nature of light. IN 1884 James Clerk Maxwell in England had proposed a series of equations to explain light waves in terms of rapidly' moving, oscillating magnetic fields.

In his thought experiment Einstein imagined himself to be riding through space, so to speak, astride a light wave and looking back at the wave next to him. What he should have seen, according to the Maxwell formulation, he wrote later, was a spatially oscillating electromagnetic field at rest." Yet, he said, there seems to be pa such thing, whether on the basis of experience or according to Maxwells equations." Stubborn and prolonged pursuits of a single problem was typical of Einstein. he noted himself, and it was 10 years later, at the age of 26, that he published his explanation of foe paradox embedded in the first of Ms relativity papers.
