A century later, Einstein's first ideas still hold power

It's rare that a person gets a chance to overturn humanity's conception of the universe.

Albert Einstein

But with five scientific papers submitted in 1905, Albert Einstein managed to do that three times: proving the existence of atoms, uncloaking the bizarre realm of quantum mechanics and overturning views of space and time.

    That's what most amazes me about Einstein and 1905. Several papers, all worthy of a Nobel Prize, being produced by an unknown. This has to be the greatest feat of scientific intellectual power in all history. Even Newton pales into second place with his laws of motion and development of calculus.
