He spent much of his life as a scholar in Berlin. He wrote several monumental papers that changed the study of physics, including his development of the theory of relativity. Einstein's work relied on his intuition. Gerard 't Hooft of the University of Utrecht, who shared the 1999 Nobel Prize for Physics, explained "Einstein made the world realize, for the first time, that pure thought can change our understanding of nature." Read our full profile, which links to outstanding resources on Einstein's life. Speaking of an understanding of nature, we created a series of articles titled "Nature Wages War," to provide teachers with resources for teaching about earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and other natural calamities. Japan suffered all three of these this weekend. Click here to access these articles and other content for understanding Japan.
