CONTRIBUTIONS Thermodynamic fluctuations and statistical physics Albert Einstein’s first paper submitted in 1900 to Annalen der Physik was on capillary attraction. It was published in 1901 with the title "Folgerungen aus den Kapillarität Erscheinungen‚" which translates as "Conclusions from the capillarity phenomena". Two papers he published in 1902–1903 (thermodynamics) attempted to interpretatomic phenomena from a statistical point of view. These papers were the foundation for the 1905 paper

The most influential figure of the 20th century is Albert Einstein. He did so much to define our understanding of the natural world and gave science the formulas and knowledge to control so many aspects of our modern lives. He predicted atoms before they were discovered. He was the first to postulate a particle of light. This first paper of 1905 described the photoelectric effect and predicted photons. This allowed the invention of television‚ digital cameras‚ and remote controls. This work allowed

today. The people I am choosing to explain are Albert Einstein‚ Otto Frisch‚ Arthur Compton‚ Enrico Fermi‚ Lise Meitner‚ Ernst Marsden‚ and Hans Geiger. All of these physicists impacted the development of the atomic theory one way or another. Albert Einstein was a German physicist who moved to America to share his knowledge about the atomic theory. In 1905‚ he wrote a famous paper that concerned tiny particles and how they moved in a liquid or gas. Einstein took Brownian motion(Browns law) and confirmed

Albert Einstein‚ one of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century‚ received a letter from Phyllis Wright in 1936. In this letter‚ Phyllis asks Einstein whether or not scientists pray. In his response‚ Einstein’s purpose was not only to answer Phyllis’ question‚ but he wanted to express to the public that everyone has a belief in the unknown‚ whether it be religion or scientific knowledge.
