{"title":"Albert Einstein","url":"Albert_Einstein","summary":"Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist best known for developing the theory of relativity. Einstein also made important contributions to quantum theory. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc, which arises from special relativity, has been called \"the world's most famous equation\". He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for \"his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect\".","infobox":{"Thesis":"Eine neue Bestimmung der Moleküldimensionen (A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions) (1905)","Institutions":"See list University of Bern (1908–1909) University of Zurich (1909–1911) Charles University in Prague (1911–1912) ETH Zurich (1912–1914) Prussian Academy of Sciences (1914–1933) Humboldt University of Berlin (1914–1933) Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (director, 1917–1933) German Physical Society (president, 1916–1918) Institute for Advanced Study (1933–1955)","Born":"(1879-03-14)14 March 1879Ulm, Württemberg, Germany","Spouses":"Mileva Marić ​ ​(m. 1903; div. 1919)​ Elsa Löwenthal ​ ​(m. 1919; died 1936)​","Citizenship":"See list Kingdom of Württemberg, part of the German Empire (until 1896) Stateless (1896–1901) Switzerland (1901–1955) Kingdom of Prussia, part of the German Empire (1914–1918) Free State of Prussia (Weimar Republic, 1918–1933) United States (1940–1955)","Doctoral advisor":"Alfred Kleiner","Education":"Swiss Federal Polytechnic School (teaching diploma, 1900) University of Zurich (PhD, 1905)","Children":"Lieserl Hans Albert Eduard \"Tete\"","Other academic advisors":"Heinrich Friedrich Weber","Awards":"See list Barnard Medal for Meritorious Service to Science (1920) Nobel Prize in Physics (1921) Matteucci Medal (1921) ForMemRS (1921) Copley Medal (1925) Gold Medal of RAS (1926) Max Planck Medal (1929) Membership of NAS (1942) Time Person of the Century (1999)","Family":"Einstein","Known for":"General relativity Special relativity Photoelectric effect E=mc (mass–energy equivalence) E=hf (Planck–Einstein relation) Theory of Brownian motion Einstein field equations Bose–Einstein statistics Bose–Einstein condensate Gravitational wave Cosmological constant Unified field theory EPR paradox Ensemble interpretation List of other concepts","Fields":"Physics","Died":"18 April 1955(1955-04-18) (aged 76)Princeton, New Jersey, U.S."},"coordinates":null,"link_count":1096}
