A theoretical physicist, one of the creators of the theory of relativity, which changed the classical concepts of space, time and matter.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) - theoretical physicist, one of the founders of modern physics, foreign corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1922) and foreign honorary member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (1926). Born in Germany, from 1893 he lived in Switzerland, from 1914 in Germany, in 1933 emigrated to the United States. He created the partial (1905) and general (1907-16) theory of relativity. The author of the fundamental works on the quantum theory of light: he introduced the concept of the photon (1905), established the laws of the photoelectric effect, the basic law of photochemistry (Einstein's law), predicted (1917) induced radiation. He developed the statistical theory of Brownian motion, laying the foundations of the theory of fluctuations, created the Bose-Einstein quantum statistics. From 1933 he worked on the problems of cosmology and unified field theory. In the 30s he opposed fascism, war, in the 40s - against the use of nuclear weapons. In 1940 he signed a letter to the President of the United States on the danger of developing nuclear weapons in Germany, which stimulated American nuclear research. One of the initiators of the creation of the State of Israel. Nobel Prize (1921), for his work in theoretical physics, especially for his discovery of the laws of the photoelectric effect.
