It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identify of time and space and so on---- but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than even thought before. By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quietness were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery(悲惨) of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work. In the years following World War Ⅰ honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whithem Institute of Theoretical Physics.
