BET BIL - Einstein WEST

To travel westbound around the world and meet with BET BIL Einstein East at a cache in or near Ulm, Wurttemberg Germany, the birthplace of Albert Einstein on or near March 14th, 2014, the 135th anniversary of Einstein's birth. Hopefully it can then continue westbound back to a cache in or near Aylmer, Ontario Canada.
 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Einstein ( /ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/; German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪnʃtaɪn] ( listen); 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics and one of the most prolific intellects in human history.^[2][3] He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".^[4] The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.

He was visiting the United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, and did not go back to Germany, where he had been a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He settled in the U.S., becoming a citizen in 1940.^[6] On the eve of World War II, he helped alert President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Germany might be developing an atomic weapon, and recommended that the U.S. begin similar research; this eventually led to what would become the Manhattan Project. Einstein was in support of defending the Allied forces, but largely denounced using the new discovery of nuclear fission as a weapon. Later, together with Bertrand Russell, Einstein signed the Russell–Einstein Manifesto, which highlighted the danger of nuclear weapons. Einstein was affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, until his death in 1955.

Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works.^[5][7] His great intelligence and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with genius.

The original TB that I sent out has turned up missing. It has either been stolen or misplaced.

I have grabbed the TB and have sent out a copy tag to act as a proxy in the hope of completing its mission.

If the original should ever show up again, which I doubt, I will recall this proxy.

Please don't be the cacher that misplaces or steals this proxy.
