Thanks to my fortunate idea of introducing the relativity principle into physics, you (and others) now enormously overrate my scientific abilities, to the point where this makes me quite uncomfortable.

In 1908, Einstein was still just a 29-year-old wunderkind in the scientific world, who three years earlier has changed everything in theoretical physics with a series of papers that laid out his theory of relativity. This quote was said to Arnold Sommerfeld, a German physicist who received 81 Nobel prize nominations in his lifetime.
