In the one hundred twenty-year history of the Nobel Prize, there have been four people who have been given the award twice.

One of them is not Albert Einstein.

Yet when you look at his list of accomplishments and the different fields of physics which he has touched, he arguably deserved more than one Nobel Prize.

By the year 1920, Einstein was unquestionably the most famous scientist in the world.

Yet, he had not won a Nobel Prize.

He had developed the special and general theories of relativity.

He had set the equivalence of mass and energy

in his famous E equals M.C. squared equation,

and he had contributed to many other areas of physics.

His work on relativity had been nominated by many physicists over the years,

but the Nobel Committee never gave him a prize.

There were a bunch of reasons why Einstein was never But the Nobel Committee never gave him a prize.

Being Jewish and pacifists were big ones. The Nobel Committee didn't want to honor someone who was so outside the mainstream. The biggest
