Albert Einstein- The 20th Century Science Hero Albert Einstein is considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. He is known for developing the theories of relativity. He is also noted for his mathematical formula of E = mc² (David Bodanis). Although he was not directly involved in the Manhattan Project‚ which was responsible for creating the atomic bomb‚ but he is still considered the mastermind because of his breakthrough formula. In 1921‚ he won the Nobel Prize for physics

In “Einstein’s letter to the President”‚Einstein is afraid of what uranium could do in the near future. He knows of its power and what it could be used for and how dangerous this metal can be. Einstein also doesn’t want Germany to get ahead of America on this project because he knows what Germany will do if they have a weapon of this power. As Einstein quoted in his letter “This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs” which means that this weapon may be used for mass destruction

before thinking of themselves who is also respected. Albert Einstein is honored for the laws of nature he has discovered‚ which truly change the way we look at science. Einstein created one of the most famous known equations which is known as E = mc2. The equation says that mass (the m) can be converted to energy (and the E). A little mass can make a lot of energy‚ because mass is multiplied by c2 where c is the speed of light. Einstein was also known for the Photoelectric effect. When light hits

What Einstein Told His Barber Summaries Chapter 3 Summary Heat if a form of energy that all other forms of energy primarily evolve around. Whenever one form of energy transforms from one to another some of this energy is lost or gained in the form of heat. Restoring lost heat molecules and atoms needs energy so in the end you lose instead of gaining energy. Heat travels from areas of high temperature to areas of lower temperatures. Confusion of temperature and heat is a common. Heat is energy
