Albert Einstein also received the Nobel for his graduate work, but it was not general or special relativity. This prize was for the theory behind Brownian motion. Brownian motion is seen in the fluttering settling pattern observed in a falling feather or dry leaf.

Ironic that Einstein and Bohr spent most of their adult lives with philosophical differences, yet shared that great and distinct honor.
