Happy Birthday Albert Einstein
The greatest and most influential physicists of all time Albert Einstein was born on 14 March 1879 in Ulm, Germany
Quantum Theory of Light
According to Einstein's proposed theory of light, photons are small energy packets that make up all light
Special Theory of Relativity
He proposed a new way of thinking about the mechanics of objects approaching the speed of light
Avogadro's Number
He laid the foundation for calculating Avogadro's number, the number of atoms in one mole of molecule or an element
Bose-Einstein Condensate
Satyendra Nath Bose sent a paper to Einstein that discussed a detailed way to think of photons of light as a gas
General Theory of Relativity
He generalizes the concepts of Special Relativity and Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
The Photoelectric Effect
It discusses the emissions of electrons from metal when light shines on it, as we alluded to before
Wave-Particle Duality
Einstein persisted in asserting that light should be treated as both a wave and a particle
