"Albert Einstein described his Special Theory of Relativity as an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the laws of electro-magnetism. . . . Among the many implications of his theory were that no physical body could travel at or faster than the speed of light and that matter and energy were ultimately interchangeable, which was the basis of the development of nuclear power. . . . Einstein was Jewish, left Germany for the United States after the Nazis seized power in 1933 and spent the rest of his life at Princeton University, working for world peace and the state of Israel, and continuing his world-changing scientific labors."
