2005 is World Year of Physics, in honour of Einstein's 1905 annus mirabilis. In a special issue of Nature — published originally in 1921 and now available online for the first time — authors including Eddington, Weyl and Lorentz, and Einstein himself, celebrate his General Theory of Relativity.

In 1905, Albert Einstein submitted five papers for publication in Annalen der Physik, covering three topics: the photoelectric effect, brownian motion, and the special theory of relativity. Although diverse in subject matter, these contributions are landmarks in their field — and testament to Einstein's genius. To honour their centenary, 2005 has been designated 'World Year of Physics'. Nature joins the celebrations with the publication of this special supplement.
