As chemistry professionals, we all suffer some "physics envy" and no more so than on the centennial of the year Albert Einstein published three papers, each of which could have earned a Nobel prize and assured his place among the greatest scientists of all time. By publishing all of them in one year at the young age of 26 while working in a Swiss patent office, he is without question one of the greatest scientists ever.
Chemical engineering as a professional discipline need not share the frustration chemists feel when the "central science" of chemistry is shouldered aside in the public mind in favor those who explore the ends of the universe and time itself. After all, chemical engineering is concerned not only with reactions, but the scale of reactions. It is the intersection of chemistry and physics. So, allow to me to suggest a chemical view of that extraordinary year ...
