About this Paged Content
Einstein briefly explains why the law of conservation of mass is "now recognized as not holding in principle." Originally born in Germany, Einstein had become a naturalized Swiss citizen at 15; he taught at the universities of Zurich, Deutsche, and Prague, returning to Germany to accept an appointment at the University of Berlin in 1914. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for physics, and in 1933 he relocated to the United States where he became a naturalized citizen in 1940, and a member of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton (1933-55). His work included the advancement of the theory of relativity, a study of the influence of gravity on light, and the equivalence of mass and energy. His published works include _The Meaning of Relativity_ (1923) and _Why War?_ which he published with Freud in 1933.
