Albert Einstein

 Albert Einstein 




Albert Einstein ( EYEN-styne; German : 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) ch was a German-born theoretical physicist who is widely held to be one of the greatest and most influential scientists of all time. Best known for developing the theory of relativity, Einstein also made important contributions to quantum mechanics, and was thus a central figure in the revolutionary reshaping of the scientific understanding of nature that modern physics accomplished in the first decades of the twentieth century. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc^2, which arises from relativity theory, has been called "the world's most famous equation". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect",a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World, Einstein was ranked the greatest physicist of all time.His intellectual achievements and originality have made the word Einstein broadly synonymous with genius.



1905 – Annus  Mirabilis  papers

The Annus Mirabilis papers are four articles pertaining to the photoelectric effect (which gave rise to quantum theory), Brownian motion, the special theory of relativity, and E = mc^2 that Einstein published in the Annalen der Physik scientific journal in 1905. These four works contributed substantially to the foundation of modern physics and changed views on space, time, and matter.



Albert Einstein is best known for his equation E = mc^2, which states that energy and mass (matter) are the same thing, just in different forms. He is also known for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, for which he won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.



Einstein received numerous awards and honors, and in 1922, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". None of the nominations in 1921 met the criteria set by Alfred Nobel, so the 1921 prize was carried forward and awarded to Einstein in 1922.



Scientific career:

Considering the fact of the scientific career of Albert Einstein, he had one of the leading and repeated figurines after World War Two under the world government moment. Before joining hands with doctor Jane Weissman at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Albert Einstein was also offered the opportunity of being the president of the state of Israel. Moreover, the paper that Einstein published in 1905 got the attention of one of the influential faces Max Planck. Lastly, Albert Einstein figured out a third of relativity by the end of November 1915. Moreover, he also had the upper hand in the photoelectric effect.
