2 days ago · General relativity, also known as the general theory of relativity and Einstein's theory of gravity, is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and is the current description of gravitation in modern physics.
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 ...
