1903 – Olinto De Pretto presents his aether theory with some form of mass–energy equivalence. [15] It was described by a formula looking like Einstein’s E = mc 2, but with different meanings of the terms. 1903 – Frederick Thomas Trouton and H.R. Noble publish the results of their experiment with capacitors, showing no aether drift. [16 ...
1905 – Albert Einstein discovers the equivalence of mass and energy, [37] = in modern form. [38] [39] [32] 1906 – Max Planck coins the term Relativtheorie. Albert Einstein later uses the term Relativitätstheorie in a conversation with Paul Ehrenfest. He originally prefers calling it Invariance Theory.
Solvay Conference of 1927, with prominent physicists such as Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Erwin Schrödinger and Paul Dirac.. A golden age of physics appears to have been delineated for certain periods of progress in the physics sciences, and this includes the previous and current developments of cosmology and astronomy.
1915: Albert Einstein: theory of general relativity – also David Hilbert; 1915: Karl Schwarzschild: discovery of the Schwarzschild radius leading to the identification of black holes; 1918: Emmy Noether: Noether's theorem – conditions under which the conservation laws are valid; 1920: Arthur Eddington: Stellar nucleosynthesis
Fritz Reiche: Was a student of Max Planck and a colleague of Albert Einstein, who was active in, and made important contributions to the early development of quantum mechanics including co-authoring the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule. Hans Reichel: Musical instrument inventor. Inventor of the daxophone and various overtone guitars.
Beginning in 1912, he spent several years investigating and finally proving Albert Einstein's proposed linear relationship between energy and frequency, and providing the first direct photoelectric support for the Planck constant. In 1923 Millikan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Albert Einstein: Albert Einstein – German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). [1] [2]: 274 Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.
Albert Einstein, 1921. On September 26, 1905 (received June 30), Albert Einstein published his annus mirabilis paper on what is now called special relativity. Einstein's paper includes a fundamental description of the kinematics of the rigid body, and it did not require an absolutely stationary space, such as the aether.
