　About Einstein　關(guān)于愛因斯坦

     Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who discovered the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.
     Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole. He was visiting the United States when Hitler came to power in 1933, and did not go back to Germany, where he had been a professor at the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He settled in the US, becoming a citizen in 1940. On the eve of World War II, he helped alert President Franklin D. Roosevelt that Germany might be developing an atomic weapon, and recommended that the US begin similar research. Later, together with Bertrand Russell, Einstein signed the Russell-Einstein Manifesto, which highlighted the danger of nuclear weapons. Einstein taught physics at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey, until his death in 1955.
     Einstein published more than 300 scientific papers along with over 150 non-scientific works. His great intelligence and originality have made the word "Einstein" synonymous with genius.
     19世紀(jì)末期是物理學(xué)的大變革時期，愛因斯坦從實驗事實出發(fā)，重新考查了物理學(xué)的基本概念，在理論上作出了根本性的突破。他的一些成就大大推動了天文學(xué)的發(fā)展。
     有一句熟悉的格言是："任何事都是相對的。"但愛因斯坦的理論不是這一哲學(xué)式陳詞濫調(diào)的重復(fù)，而是一種更精確的用數(shù)學(xué)表述的方法。此方法中，科學(xué)的度量是相對的。顯而易見，對于時間和空間的主觀感受依賴于觀測者本身。2009年10月4日，諾貝爾基金會評選"1921年物理學(xué)獎得主愛因斯坦"為諾貝爾獎百余年歷史上最受尊崇的3位獲獎?wù)咧?。（其他兩位?964年和平獎得主馬丁·路德·金、1979年和平獎得主德蘭修女。）
