Albert Einstein

• German (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist.
• He developed the general theory of relativity. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2.
• Einstein support the Manhattan Project.
• 
• Legenda: He was visiting the United States when Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 and, being Jewish, did not go back to Germany, where he had been a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He settled in the U.S., becoming an American citizen in 1940.

The Brownian movement

• 
• This discovery, made in 1905, explains how the thermal movement of individual atoms can form a fluid.

The photoelectric effect

• 
• Also discovered in 1905, explains the appearance of electric currents in certain materials, when these are illuminated by electromagnetic radiation.

Special relativity

• 
• This is another contributed in 1905. Show that the speed of light is constant, while position and time depend on the speed of the body.

The discovery of this equation ( 'E = m x c2')

• 
• shows how a particle of mass possesses an energy at rest, different from kinetic and potential energy. It is used to explain how nuclear energy is produced.

General relativity

• 
• Published between 1915 and 1916, it describes acceleration and gravity as distinct aspects of the same reality.
