Join our campaign to found an ‘Albert Einstein Discovery Center’ in Ulm, Germany!

Albert Einstein: scientist, humanitarian, pacifist, genius, cultural icon, and Time Magazine’s “Person of the Century”! Even at the age of 17, he asked the question: What would light look like if he ran after a beam and could catch up with it?

As a scientist, Einstein answered this question and, over a 100 years ago, revolutionized our perception of space and time. From his famous formula E = mc2 to explanations of Brownian motion and the photoelectric effect – for which he received the Nobel prize in 1922 – Albert Einstein is Ulm’s most famous citizen.

 

 

Ulm - an Ideal Location!
