Einstein is best known for his theory of relativity which completely revised existing concepts of fundamental, universal laws and paved the way for the atomic age. It holds that only the relative motion of objects may ever be observed. Finally, it brings the fourth dimension, time, into physical measurement along with the other three dimensions of space.
Einstein earned a doctorate at the polytechnic academy in Zurich in 1905 and in the same year he published four research papers, each contained a great discovery in physics-The special theory of Relativity, The Equivalence of Mass and Energy, Theory of Brownian Motion and Photon Theory of Light. He was awarded by novel prize in 1921 for his great research in photoelectric effect. Einstein took up residence at the institute for advance studies in Princeton.(1933) where he pursued his research toward unifying the laws of physics. His writing includes:-
- The meaning of Relativity(1923)
- About Zionism(1931)
- Builders of the universe(1932)
- Why war?(with Sigmund Freud, 1933)
- The world as I see it(1934)
- The evolution of physics(with Leopold Infeld, 1938) and
- Out of My Later Years(1950)
