Bose-Einstein Condensate Story Introduction/Scene 1-- It has been 85 years since Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose first discovered the theory of Bose-Einstein Condensate. It is 2001 now and I and my colleagues‚ Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl Wieman have received the Noble Prize for our experiments that brought about this new phase of matter. Our hard work and dedication will now allow the world an endless amount of advancements in technology on so many levels. Before we get into all that though

Albert Einstein remains one of the 20th Century’s most enigmatic yet popular figures. His high-minded concepts are more than most adults can handle‚ yet his popularity seems to rise with each passing year. His continuing importance to the world of physics is staggering given the recent advancements in the world of quantum physics. Yet Einstein the man is a much a different person than Einstein the scientist. It is Einstein the man that we see here‚ in this wonderful book by Maree Ferguson Delano

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Albert Einstein was born at Ulm‚ in Württemberg‚ Germany‚ on March 14‚ 1879. He is a German-born physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. He is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. Einstein’s parents were secular‚ middle-class Jews.

Parents of Albert Einstein‚ Hermann Einstein and his wife Pauline Einstein thought that Albert was a very quiet boy. He spoke hardly until age 3. Due to this they thought that son Albert‚ was a slow learner. But it was something else‚ when he did speak‚ he did say the most unusual things. When Albert

This paper also argued that the idea of a luminiferous aether – one of the leading theoretical entities in physics at the time – was superfluous. In his paper on mass–energy equivalence Einstein produced E = mc2 from his special relativity equations. Einstein’s 1905 work on relativity remained controversial for many years‚ but was accepted by leading physicists‚ starting with Max

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity‚ effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement‚ Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics. While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world’s most famous equation")‚[4] he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the
