...flat in Bern, Switzerland, where he lived as a young man for nearly two years, is open to visitors. Einstein resided at Kramgasse 49 in 1905, during his annus mirabilis - the miraculous year in which he devised theories to explain Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect and special relativity (E=mc2). The then 26-year-old described it as the time when "a storm broke loose in my mind." The museum features original furnishings and some turn-of-the-century physics-lab equipment, along with photos of Einstein and copies of his notes and speeches. Tickets...

Most physicists do not come up with their theories after a long night of partying. Most physicists have never been compared the Sex Pistols. And most physicists believe that E=mc2...
...levels [PERSON OF THE CENTURY, Dec. 31]. By recognizing Einstein as a surrogate for the contributions of science and technology and by recognizing his humanism and faults, you found in one person the important balance that we seek. Beyond acknowledging him for the implications of his famous equation E=mc2, one should credit Einstein with realizing there are peaceful uses of the atom for energy and medical-diagnostic, therapeutic, industrial and environmental applications. You have given those of us who work in this field hope that society will take a new look at what the atom has done...
...visiting Watch Hill, R.I. I saw him standing at the end of the pier gazing into a bright sunset, which made his hair appear to be a brilliant golden halo. Over the years, I have supposed that his thoughts that evening were of the significance of E=mc2. JOHN E. GOMENA Pacific City...
