1 day ago · At speeds that are a substantial fraction of the speed of light, the framework of Newtonian mechanics no longer suffices to describe many physical phenomena. Instead, one must start to take into account Einstein's theory of special relativity, which deals with the "special" case of physics in the absence of gravity.
2 days ago · Albert Einstein (born March 14, 1879, Ulm, Württemberg, Germany—died April 18, 1955, Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.) was a German-born physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
- Albert Einstein was a famous physicist. His research spanned from quantum mechanics to theories about gravity and motion. After publishing some gro...
- Albert Einstein is best known for his equation E = mc2, which states that energy and mass (matter) are the same thing, just in different forms. He...
- Albert Einstein had a massive influence on contemporary physics. His theory of relativity shifted contemporary understanding of space completely. A...
- Albert Einstein was raised in a secular Jewish family and had one sister, Maja, who was two years younger than him. In 1903 Einstein married Milena...
- After suffering an abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture several days before, Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, at age 76.
- In December 1926 Albert Einstein wrote to Max Born that “[t]he theory produces a good deal but hardly brings us closer to the secret of the Old One...
3 days ago · Albert Einstein - Physics, Relativity, Teaching: At first Einstein’s 1905 papers were ignored by the physics community. This began to change after he received the attention of just one physicist, perhaps the most influential physicist of his generation, Max Planck, the founder of the quantum theory.
1 day ago · Beyond relativity, Einstein made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and statistical physics. His equation E=mc², which relates energy (E) to mass (m) and the speed of light (c), remains one of the most recognizable symbols in science. Einstein's insights into the photoelectric effect also laid the foundation for the development of ...
4 days ago · On June 30, 1905, Albert Einstein publishes “Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper (On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies),” a paper that sets out his theory of special relativity, in the ...
9 hours ago · General relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible, and an overarching theory to make them play nice remains elusive. This is the story of how physicists are trying to make sense of gravity ...
2 days ago · On its own, general relativity could predict the expansion of the universe, which (through observations such as the bending of light by large masses, or the precession of the orbit of Mercury) could be experimentally observed and compared to his theoretical calculations using particular solutions of the equations he had originally ...
