Source of the Einstein quote that we use with our Creative Process Einstein poster:
“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
--‘What Life Means to Einstein: An Interview by George Sylvester Viereck,’ for the October 26, 1929 issue of The Saturday Evening Post.
Albert Einstein Online - lots of links to Einstein web sites.
Einstein Revealed - the companion web site to the NOVA program presents a timeline of Einstein's life, info on the speed of light, what made Einstein stand out from other great scientist in history, time travel and relativity and the cosmos. Also a Teacher's Guide.
Einstein- Image and Impact - an online exhibit chronicling the life of Albert Einstein. Online exhibit ased on a 16-panel travelling exhibit designed by the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics for the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey on the occasion of the Einstein Centennial 1879-1979.
The Nobel Prize for Physics 1921 - "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".
Einstein's Annus Mirabilis 1905 (Annus Mirabilis is a Latin for "Fateful Year" to indicate a year of particularly notable events.) Einstein's Annus Mirabilis Papers are the four articles published in the "Alllalen der Physik" Scientific Journal in 1905 that changed the view of space, time, and matter, forming the foundation of modern physics. This Johns Hopkins University site is intended as "a resources tool for students providing a guide and make readily available the primary and secondary sources pertinent to Einstein's annus mirabilis."
 Einstein- Time Magazine Person of the Century - the one who, for better or worse, personified our times and will be recorded by history as having the most lasting significance.

Einsteinlight - Relativity in brief... or in detail. Einstein's theory of relativity integrates electromagnetism into a logical extension of the relativity of Galileo and Newton. Its conclusions, including time dilation, length contraction, and E=mc2 have changed profoundly our ideas of time and space, matter and energy.
