Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

He was a German-born Physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics of Jewish origin nationalized later in Swiss and U.S. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theorical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”. The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory.

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.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire on 14 March 1879. His father was Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer. His mother was Pauline Einstein. In 1880, the family moved to Munich, where his father and his uncle founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a company that manufactured electrical equipment based on direct current. A new teacher told him never will get anything in life. He married on 6 January 1903 with Mileva Maric.

Unified Field Theory

Following his research on general relativity, Einstein entered into a series of attempts to generalize his geometric theory of gravitation to include electromagnetism as another aspect of a single entity. In 1950, he described his “unified field theory” in a Scientific American Article entitled “On the Generalized Theory of Gravitation”. Although he continued to be lauded for his work, Einstein became increasingly isolated in this research, and his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. In his pursuit of a unification of the fundamental forces, Einstein ignored some mainstream developments in physics, most notably the strong and weak nuclear forces, which were not well understood until many years after his death.

Is considered “father of the atomic bomb”. His dead on 18 April 1955
