新GRE写作名人素材库：爱因斯坦

　　Einstein worked as a professor of physics at universities in Prague and Zurich before moving to Berlin in 1914 with his wife and two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard. He took a post at the Prussian Academy of Sciences, where he could continue his research and lecture at the University of Berlin. Unhappy with life in Berlin, his wife Mileva returned to Switzerland with their sons near the beginning of World World I; their separation led to a divorce in 1919. Einstein married his second cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, later that year.

　　In 1915, Einstein perfected his general theory of relativity, summing up his theory with the mathematical equation E=mc?. His findings on relativity were published in The Principle of Relativity, Sidelights on Relativity, and The Meaning of Relativity. In November 1919, the Royal Society of London announced that their experiment conducted during the solar eclipse of that year had confirmed the predictions Einstein made in his general theory of relativity. The implications of this announcement shook the world of science and earned Einstein the international acclaim he had long deserved.

　　Controversy continued to surround his scientific theories, as well as his political convictions, which became more pronounced as his fame increased. In the years following WWI, he received a great deal of criticism within Germany for his theories, as well as his active support of pacifism , liberalism, and Zionism. He traveled a great deal to deliver lectures on relativity, touring Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Einstein first toured the United States in the spring of 1921, in order to raise money for the Palestine Foundation Fund.
