100 years after the publication of five of Albert Einstein's most revolutionary papers, The Economist has an article making the claim that "A century after Einstein's miracle year, most people still do not understand exactly what it was he did. Here, we attempt to elucidate." Although I'm at least somewhat familiar with most of his theories, I found this article very interesting and informative.

Coincidentally, I came upon an Albert Einstein action figure at ThinkGeek that's pretty fun... :-)
