Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than most other men have achieved. An American university president once said that Einstein had helped us have a new view of the universe. It may be some time before ordinary people fully understand the identity(一致) of time and space and so on — but even ordinary people understand now that the universe is something larger than it had been ever thought before. By 1914 the young Einstein had been famous in the world. At that time, he accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. There he had few duties, little teaching and a great number of chances for study, but soon his peace and quiet life were broken by World War I.

Einstein hated wars and killings. World War I changed his ordinary life, and he would sit unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to go on with his research.

In the years following World War I, more and more people knew and respected him. He became head of the Faiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(納粹) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
