World-renowned theoretical physicist Albert Einstein was interested
in explaining the theory of Relativity to people who were not
especially well-versed in higher mathematic concepts and
theoretical physics. His solution to this was to write the
ground-breaking work, "Relativity: The Special and General Theory."
In the paper, Einstein lays out two contradictory principles: a
principle of relativity and a principle of light. Einstein proposed
that, rather than discarding these two principles for being
conflicting, the rules of time and space should be completely
revamped and rethought in order to find a way to make these two
principles work in harmony. Rather than just explaining his new
proposal, though, Einstein writes exactly why these rules need to
be changed by explaining the inaccuracies and inadequacies located
within each of the current theories. Albert Einstein is best known
for his work on the theory of Relativity, gaining him the title of
"Father of Modern Physics." He also received the 1921 Nobel Prize
in Physics, and his work is attributed as an inspiration for the
quantum theory within the field of physics. After immigrating to
America following Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany, Einstein
famously warned the government that Hitler was planning on creating
a weapon based on nuclear fission, and voiced his strong opinion
against the creation of the atom bomb. His hundreds of papers and
books are highly original and intelligent, making him one of the
most famous and respected intellectual minds of the twentieth
century.
