Theory of relativity (source D and B)

• Einstein considered this his best work • He published his findings in 1915 • This theory found that gravity and motion can effect time and space • In 1921 he awarded Nobel Prize in Physics • The theory of relativity was the first major theory since Newtons (which was more 250 years before) He began touring the world and speaking in front of large crowds

1924 (source E)

• Einstein worked on the new quantum theory. • he looked for a way to join the theories of electromagnetism and gravity. • In 1929 he announced an unified field theory but he still wasn't satisfied with just that, he needed experiments

Atomic bomb (Source A and D)

• In 1932 Einstein completely left Germany and moved to the United states in New jersey • Some scientists knew of the Natsi plans to make an atomic bomb • In 1939 Einstein and Leo Szilard (another scientist) wrote a letter to Roosevelt about the Nazi plans • After the letter he was never asked to participate with the bomb again He regretted signing the letter recommending the creation of the bomb after he saw all of the damage that was done

Tutoring (source A)

• In 1889 a poor polish medical student named Max Talmud was invited over by the Einstein's for Thursday meals • Talmud became Albert's tutor and he introduced him to philosophy and higher mathematics • One day Talmud showed Albert a science book and inside there was a part where electricity traveled down a telegraph wire • This book made Einstein curious as to what light would look like if it ran at the same speed • This led him to write his first scientific paper when he was 16, "The Investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic Fields."

American (source E)

• In 1940 Einstein became an American citizen • In 1952 he was asked to be the second president of the state of Israel • He declined the offer

Photoelectric effect (Source C)

• The photoelectric effect is the idea in which electrons are emitted from the surface of matter (usually metals) when light shines upon it • Einstein proposed that light consists of small particles, or quanta, called photons, which carry energy that is proportional to the frequency of light. • The electrons in the matter that absorb the energy of the photon get ejected • Einstein published a paper called "On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light" in 1905 • Einstein's theory could only be explained if light acts as a particle, not a wave

Miracle year (source A and B)
