1905 Annus mirabilis: Time and matter - Light and space - Reshaped by an Obscure clerk from Bern. In an English market town, a Five-year-old girl is blessed with Vocation when she sees a Meteor shoot across the sky. Later she recalls the Summer of her eighth birthday: Skies aglow across Europe and Asia; Pictures taken in Scotland at Midnight without bulbs - Light passing through Frozen specks formed in the Dust-billowed aftermath of that Blue-glint airburst over Siberia. Impact with midsized Thermonuclear yield - Pinprick cribbed from the Plasma alchemy She now sees at work in the Stellar core of our Sun. ©Jan Peters/Solivagant Wisdom, 2026 Dedicated to Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900-1979) - Pioneering astronomer and astrophysicist Black-and-white photo of pioneering astronomer & astrophysicist, Cecilia Payne (1900-1979), in her prime.

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
-Physicist, engineer, and teacher Albert Einstein, born on this day in 1879

He is known for his theory of relativity and his mass–energy equivalence formula E = MC(squared). He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics. The Swedish committee that names Nobel laureates said Einstein was being recognized for “his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect” That effect was critical to the development of quantum theory. From Discovery.com: The image that the Guardian calls "arguably one of the best known press photographs of any 20th century personality" was taken on March 14, 1951 — Einstein's birthday. The scientist was leaving his 72nd birthday party at Princeton University, which had been swarming with photographers, and was understandably tired of smiling all night. As he left the event and climbed into the backseat of a car between Dr. Frank Aydelotte, the former head of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University, and Aydelotte's wife, Marie Jeanette, another throng of reporters and photographers advanced. Einstein was in no mood. According to legend, he shouted, "That's enough!" But they didn't listen. Out of exasperation — and maybe a little spite — Einstein stuck his tongue out at the crowd, then immediately turned away. Arthur Sasse from UPI was lucky enough to capture the split-second shot. Einstein might have been over it that night, but he was still a good sport. He loved the photo Sasse snapped and asked UPI for nine prints he could use as personal greeting cards. Most of them were cropped to include only his face, creating the iconic image we all know today.

A good exception to Betteridge's Law: Einstein's 1905 paper on E=mc2. Its title: "Does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy content?"

#AlbertEinstein sent off for publication the third of his four #AnnusMirabilis papers, which together laid much of the basis for modern physics, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1905. This paper introduced his theory of #SpecialRelativity demonstrating the constancy of the speed of light.
