Features: On August 15, 1905, three papers were published in the renowned professional journal Annals of Physics, exploring a brand new theme: In the nascent stage of Special Relativity, an equation emerged from a 26-year-old young man, Albert Einstein, a minor clerk at the Bern Patent Office. Fifteen years later, experiments confirmed this theory, astronomers verified Relativity, and it heralded one of the greatest myths of the 20th century. The author retraces the life journey of a special individual, whose life was influenced only by one maxim—the joy of thinking.
