Einstein,
1879-1955. German-born American
theoretical physicist whose special and general theories
of relativity revolutionized modern thought on the nature of space
and time and formed a theoretical base for the exploitation of atomic energy.
He won a 1921 Nobel Prize for his explanation of the photoelectric effect...
In school he was not thought
highly of. His teachers would not recommend him for a university position,
some suggesting that he was a bit 'backward' in ability to comprehend.
Einstein divorced and later
remarried. Problems with colleagues resulted from Einstein's beliefs about
the nature of good theories and the relationship between experiment and
theory.
He believed that scientific
theories are the free creations of a finely tuned physical
intuition
and that the premises on which theories are based cannot be connected logically
to experiment. Einstein wrote "The most beautiful thing we can experience
is the mysterious. It is the source of all true
science and art. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no
longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, his eyes
are closed."
Einstein devoted considerable
time to generalizing his theory even more. His last effort, the unified
field theory, which was not entirely successful, was an attempt to
understand all physical interactions including electromagnetic interactions
and weak and strong interactions,in terms of the modification of the geometry
of spacetime between interacting entities.
His writings include.Relativity:
The Special and General Theory.(1916);
About
Zionism.(1931);.Builders
of the Universe.(1932);.Why
War?.(1933),
with Sigmund Freud;.The
World as I See It.(1934);.The
Evolution of Physics (1938), with the Polish physicist Leopold Infeld;
and.Out of
My Later Years (1950)..comprised

Einstein believed in the
benefits of a mostly vegetarian diet.
"The significant problems
we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created
them."....Albert
Einstein Theoretical Physicist
