My favorite Physicists
My favorite Physicists is the man that everyone knows! Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire on March 14th, 1879. His parents were Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer, and Pauline Koch.
In 1880, the family moved to Munich, where his father and his uncle founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J. Einstein & Cie, a company that manufactured electrical equipment based on direct current. As you can see, science was already used in the Einstein family.
Throughout his life, Einstein published hundreds of books and articles. Just like Mr. Fullerton!!! Anyways, In a 1905 paper, Einstein postulated that light itself consists of localized particles. Einstein's light quanta were nearly universally rejected by all physicists, including Max Planck and Niels Bohr. This idea only became universally accepted in 1919, with Robert Millikan's detailed experiments on the photoelectric effect, and with the measurement of Compton scattering.
This is a few things about Einsten and Thanks for viewing!
