Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist and professor. He is best known for developing the theory of relativity and winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. Some key facts about Einstein include: - He was born in Germany in 1879 and worked as a patent clerk before becoming a professor in Switzerland and Germany. He later immigrated to the United States. - His major works include his 1905 paper on special relativity and his 1916 paper introducing the general theory of relativity, which revolutionized physics. - He taught theoretical physics at universities in Zurich, Prague, and Berlin before immigrating to the US to teach at Princeton in 1933. - Einstein received many honors for his scientific work, including

TECHNICAL SKILLS AND At the start of my scientific work, I realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics and my
COMPETENCES special theory of relativity stemmed from an attempt to reconcile the laws of mechanics with the
With computers, specific kinds laws of the electromagnetic field. I dealt with classical problems of statistical mechanics and
of equipment, machinery, etc problems in which they were merged with quantum theory: this led to an explanation of the
Brownian movement of molecules. I investigated the thermal properties of light with a low
radiation density and my observations laid the foundation of the photon theory of light.
In my early days in Berlin, I postulated that the correct interpretation of the special theory of
relativity must also furnish a theory of gravitation and in 1916 I published my paper on the general
theory of relativity. During this time I also contributed to the problems of the theory of radiation
and statistical mechanics.
In the 1920's, I embarked on the construction of unified field theories, although I continued to work
on the probabilistic interpretation of quantum theory, and I persevered with this work in America. I
contributed to statistical mechanics by my development of the quantum theory of a monatomic gas
and I have also accomplished valuable work in connection with atomic transition probabilities and
relativistic cosmology.
After my retirement I continued to work towards the unification of the basic concepts of physics,
taking the opposite approach, geometrization, to the majority of physicists.
