	Einstein's notes describing one consequence of relativity: the bending of light around massive objects. This effect is shown in the following two images. Einstein, Image and Impact. American Institute of Physics. 24 Apr 2000 <http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/>.
	One of the first recorded observation of a "gravitational lense," visible during an eclipse of the Sun in 122. This phenomenon occurs when a massive object bends light travelling towards an observer such that four copies are seen in a formation often called an "Einstein Cross." Einstein, Image and Impact. American Institute of Physics. 24 Apr 2000 <http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/>.
	A modern image of an Einstein Cross. This particular image, taken in 1995, shows four images of the same quasar lensed through a deflecting galaxy. Einstein Cross. Observational Astrophysics Group. 26 Apr 2000 <http://vela.astro.ulg.ac.be/themes/dataproc/deconv/engl/figure1.html>.
	Einstein with other Solvay Congress attendees, 1927. Prominent physicists of the day met in Copenhagen to a new development in particle mechanics: what we today call quantum mechanics. Visionaries such as Schrödinger, Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, Max Planck, and H. A. Lorentz eventually reach a compromise known as "wave-particle duality." Quantum Mechanics. American Institute of Physics. 24 Apr 2000 <http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p09.htm>.
	Photograph of a bubble chamber supporting Einstein's ideas on the interchangability of mass and energy. Pure energy in the form of light enters from the bottom of the picture, and transforms into two subatomic particles which leave bubbles in their paths (also shown with arrows). Einstein, Image and Impact. American Institute of Physics. 24 Apr 2000 <http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/>.
	More support of mass/energy unification: John Cockcroft and E.T.S. Watson used this apparatus to separate an atom. The products of the separation had slightly less mass than the original atom, but were moving much more quickly (and thus had much more kinetic energy) than in the inital state. Einstein, Image and Impact. American Institute of Physics. 24 Apr 2000 <http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/>.
	Einstein's letter to President Roosevelt urging development of a nuclear weapon. Although he played no direct role in bomb development, his influence provided essential in starting the project.
