DESCRIPTION:
"Straight to the point" according to Amazon Customer. Very informative and a easy read. I'm glad I had the opportunity to check it out. Also very glad to gather information on his personal life.. "A very basic biography" according to Sid Nuncius. This little biography is OK as far as it goes – but that isn't really very far, I'm afraid.The book is very brief, so the information in it is commendably concise and reasonably well presented. There are some nice photos and a few illustrations to explain things like the photoelectric effect and Brownian motion, although I'm not sure how much cle. "Very good read" according to Amazon Customer. This was a very good read. I have always been interested in Einstein and am glad I found this.
He is considered the best-known and most popular scientist of the 20th century.In 1905, when he was an unknown young physicist, employed in the Patent Office of Berne, he published his theory of special relativity. As a logical consequence of this theory, he deduced the most famous equation of physics: mass-energy equivalence, E = mc². Albert Einstein was a German Jewish physicist. In it he incorporated, in a simple theoretical framework based on simple physical postulates, concepts and phenomena previously studied by Henri Poincaré and Hendrik Lorentz. In 1919, when British observations of a solar eclipse confirmed their predictions about the curvature of light, Einstein's theory of general relativity was idolized by the press. One of the consequences was the emergence of the scientific study of the origin and evolution of the universe by the branch of physics called cosmology. That year he published other works that would lay some of the foundations of statistical physics and quantum mechanics.In 1915, he introduced the theory of general relativity, in which he completely reformulated the concept of gravity. Einstein became a popular icon of world-famous science, a privilege available to very few scientists.
