Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems ofstatistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations ofparticle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the large-scale structure of the universe.[6]Albert Einstein
(/ˈælbərt
ˈaɪnstaɪn/; German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪnʃtaɪn] ( listen); 14 March
1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist
andviolinist. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of
the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum
mechanics).[2][3] While best known for his mass–energy equivalence
formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous
equation"),[4] 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".[5] The latter was
pivotal in establishing quantum theory.
He
was visiting the United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in
1933 and did not go back to Germany, where he had been a professor at
theBerlin Academy of Sciences. He settled in the U.S., becoming an
American citizen in 1940.[7] On the eve of World War II, he endorsed
a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt alerting him to the
potential development of "extremely powerful bombs of a new
type" and recommending that the U.S. begin similar research.
This eventually led to what would become theManhattan Project.
Einstein supported defending the Allied forces, but largely denounced
using the new discovery of nuclear fission as a weapon. Later, with
the British philosopher Bertrand Russell, Einstein signed
theRussell–Einstein Manifesto, which highlighted the danger of
nuclear weapons. Einstein was affiliated with the Institute for
Advanced Study inPrinceton, New Jersey, until his death in 1955.
Einstein
published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150
non-scientific works. His great intellectual achievements and
originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with
genius

I
one of fans of Einstein. I was one of the many people who idolize the
man who could inspire a lot of people thinking,,, so that he could
create something useful for many people.
