Show affiliationsThe article discusses Einstein's famous papers of 1905—his miraculous year—and deals with their physical and historical context as well as their fundamental impact on modern physics. It shows that the papers are not isolated, but connected with each other by Einstein's deep-seated conviction of physical atomism and his criticism of an ether. They are concerned with specific problems that can be characterized as 'borderline problems' since they go beyond the traditional divisions between mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics.
