In 1921, Albert Einstein visited Prague for the first time. His visit was a major event for the city, and it had a profound impact on the development of physics in Czechoslovakia. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Einstein's visit, the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences has published a book entitled "100 Years After Einstein in Prague."

The book features a collection of essays by leading physicists and historians who explore Einstein's legacy and his impact on our understanding of the universe. The essays cover a wide range of topics, from Einstein's early work on relativity to his later work on cosmology.

Einstein's visit to Prague was a major event for the city. He was greeted by a large crowd of people when he arrived at the train station, and he was given a ticker-tape parade through the streets. Einstein gave a series of lectures at the Charles University, and he also met with other scientists and intellectuals.
