Albert was a German physicist of Jewish origin, is considered the most well-known and popular scientist of the twentieth century. In 1905, when he was a young unknown physicist, employed in the Patent Office of Berne, he published his theory of special relativity. In it, he incorporated, in a simple theoretical framework based on simple physical postulates, concepts and phenomena studied by Henri Poincaré and Hendrik Lorentz. Einstein ' s special attributes were indistinguishable, skeptical, emotional, magnetic, logical, intelligent psychic. He was a physicist of German origin,
nationalized Swiss and American.
2 1 Albert Einstein with his famous formula E = mc ² In 1905, he published his theory
of the relativity of time. As a logical consequence of this theory, he deduced the most popular equation of physics at the popular level: the mass-energy equivalence, E = mc ². That year he published other works that would lay the foundations for statistical physics and quantum mechanics. In 1915 he presented the theory of general relativity, in which he completely reformulated the concept of gravity. 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. In 1919, when the British observations of a solar eclipse confirmed his predictions about the curvature of light, he was idolized by the press. Einstein became a popular icon of world-famous science, a privilege within reach of very few scientists. For his explanations on the photoelectric effect and his numerous contributions to theoretical physics, in 1921 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics and not for the Theory of Relativity, because the scientist who was entrusted with the task of evaluating it, did not understand it, and They feared to run the risk that later they would prove wrong. At that time it was still considered a bit controversial. Before the rise of Nazism, around December 1932, the scientist left Germany for the United States, where he taught at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton. He became an American citizen in 1940. During his last years he worked to integrate gravitational and electromagnetic forces into the same theory. He died in Princeton, New Jersey, on April 18, 1955.
