A glimpse at the “private, hidden face” of Albert Einstein, including the celebrated scientist's thoughts on everything from his fears 1 his best work was behind him to his beloved younger sister, Maja.

The collection, which includes a previously unknown photograph of Einstein as a five-year-old and the only 2 （survive）letter written by Einstein to his father, comes from the archive（档案）of Maja Winterler-Einstein and her husband Paul Winteler. A mix of letters, postcards and photographs, many of 3 have not previously been published, range in date from 1897 to 1951.

“What is remarkable about them comes from the fact that he had this incredibly close relationship with his sister. It's quite clear that 4 he's writing to her, there's no role-playing at all.” said Thomas Venning at Christie's. which will auction（拍卖）the letters soon. “He was very conscious of what 5 （expect）of him after he became famous, and you don't get any of that in letters to his sister. He says some things that I've never seen him say anywhere else. and I've catalogued many hundreds of his letters.”

In 1924, nine years after he completed the general theory of relativity in 1915. Einstein would write to Maja that “scientifically I haven't achieved much recently-the brain gradually goes oft （停止） 6 age, though that is not so unpleasant. It also means that you're not so answerable for your later years.” Ten years later, he would write to her: “I am happy in my work, 7 in this and in other matters I am starting to feel that the brilliance of younger years is past.”

Venning said he had not seen Einstein 8 （admit）this anywhere else. “It's not him 9 （play）a role: you can see that thought going through his head, which is true-if Einstein had died in 1916, his fiundamental legacy would have been complete. He carried on working for another 40 years without making any other great breakthrough, so it's just an extraordinary moment which we get because of 10 close their relationship was. He didn't have to reassure（使安心）her,” he said.

Three scientists have won the 2020 Nobel Prize in physics for their discoveries related to massive objects called black holes.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Science said Tuesday it would give half of the $ 1.1 million prize to Roger Pen-rose of Britain's University of Oxford , 1 (add) that he had used mathematics to prove that black holes were a direct result of "Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity."

Germany's Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez of the United States will share the other half of the physics prize. The academy honored the two scientists " 2 the discovery of a super-massive compact object at the center of our galaxy." That object was a large black hole. The physics prize celebrates 3 the Nobel Committee called "one of the most exotic objects in the universe."

Galaxies are huge systems that contain billions of stars. Black holes might exist at the center of every galaxy. Nothing, not even light, 4 escape their gravity. Time comes to a stop 5 it gets closer.

Roger Pen-rose proved that the formation of black holes was possible. His work 6 (base) heavily on Einstein's general theory of relativity. British astronomer Martin Rees noted it was Pen-rose's work 7 fueled a "renaissance" in the study of relativity. He added, Pen-rose, together with Setphen Hawking, helped support evidence for the Big Bang and black holes. "Pen-rose and Hawking are the two Individuals 8 have done more than anyone else since Einstein to deepen our knowledge of gravity," Rees said.

The first picture Genzel and Ghez got of the object was in 1995. A year later, another picture appeared to show that the stars near the center of the Milky Way were moving around

9 . A third picture led Genze and Ghez to think they had discovered it. Andrea Ghez is the fourth woman 10 (award) the Nobel Prize for physics. The others were Marie Curie in 1903, Marie Goeppert-Mayer in 1963, and Donna Strickland in 2018.
