2. He worked at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, examining patents.
3. In 1905, he published three groundbreaking papers: on the photoelectric effect, on mass-energy equivalence (E=mc²), and on the Special Theory of Relativity—including the idea that the speed of light is constant.
4. His major work includes the Special and General Theories of Relativity, and his explanation of the photoelectric effect (which won the Nobel Prize); his ideas became two pillars of modern physics.
