Albert Einstein’s documents publicly available

Albert Ein­stein is one of the most famous and most rec­og­nized physi­cists of the 20th cen­tury and one of the great­est sci­en­tific thinkers of all time. His insights have had pro­found influ­ence on the fun­da­men­tals of physics and the way we look at the uni­verse and the nature of space and time. He rev­o­lu­tion­ized our views of space and time, mat­ter and light, grav­i­ta­tion and the uni­verse as a whole.
