Albert Einstein

  • Born

    Albert Einstein was born on march 14 , 1879 in the south German city of ULM , into a poor jewish family.
  • The Consequences of the Capillarity Theory

    Despite the deprivations that plagued him in the years 1900-1902, Einstein found time to further study physics. In 1901, the Berlin Annals of Physics published his first article, "The Consequences of the Capillarity Theory" (Folgerungen aus den Capillaritatserscheinungen), devoted to the analysis of the forces of attraction between atoms of liquids based on the theory of capillarity.
  • Swiss citizenship

    Although in 1901 Einstein received Swiss citizenship, until the spring of 1902 he could not find a permanent job - even a schoolteacher. Due to lack of earnings, he literally starved, not eating food for several days in a row. This was the cause of liver disease, from which the scientist suffered until the end of life.
  • Year of Miracles

    3.1905 entered the history of physics as the “Year of Miracles” (lat. Annus Mirabilis). This year, the Annals of Physics published three outstanding articles by Einstein that marked the beginning of a new scientific revolution: 1."To the electrodynamics of moving bodies."
    2."On one heuristic point of view concerning the emergence and transformation of light."
    3.“On the motion of particles suspended in a fluid at rest, required by the molecular-kinetic theory of heat.”
  • Theory of Relativity

    In 1915, Albert Einstein proposed the Theory of Relativity - the physical theory of space-time, describing the universal space-time properties of physical processes.
  • Nobel Prize

    After 12 years of waiting for the Nobel Prize, in 1922, Albert Einstein finally got it, although he was nominated for it in 1921.
  • Figure-humanist

    The scientist was a public figure-humanist ,an honorary member of the USSR Academy of sciences
  • Albert Einstein works

    Einstein is the author of more than 300 scientific works in physics, as well as about 150 books and articles in areas of history and philosophy of science
