Biographical blurb file

The Albert Einstein learning module includes some biographical reading, because relativity theory and quantum theory developed around Albert Einstein as one of the central figures. In our Webcourses learning module, I just inserted a biographical blurb file with links to readings about three strategic scientists who had interesting lives:
  1. Albert Einstein
  2. Louis de Broglie
  3. Thomas Young
The most interesting part of the theory of relativity is light, and all three of these scientists contributed enormously to our understanding of light.
