10.Albert Einstein


Albert Einstein was born on 14 March, 1879 in Ulm, Kingdom of Wurttemburg, German Empire. He was a theoretical phycist. He contributed a lot to improve Physics' laws.
                  His contributions to physics include 'The special and genral theories of relativity, the founding of relavistic cosmology, the first post-Newtonian expansion, explaining the perihelion advance of Mercury, prediction of the deflection of light by gravity and gravitational lensing. He also explained the first fluctuation dissipation theorem which explained the Brownian movement of molecules.
                  He presented the Photon theory' and told us about wave-duality. He also gave the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids and the zero-point energy concept. He also gave semiclassical version of Schrodinger equation. His quantum theory of a monatomic gas predicted Bose-Einstein condensation.
          Albert Einstein is best known for his Therories of special relativity and general relativity. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the Law of the photoelectric effect. Hewas also awarded Copley Medal, Max Plank Medal and the Time Person of the Century.
          Einstein published more than 300 scientific and over 150 non-scientific works. He is often regarded as the Father of Modern Physics.
          He passed his life in many countries i.e Australia, Germany Switzerland and United States. He died on 18th April, 1955 in United States.
