阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦(1879.3.14-1955.4.18)犹太裔物理学家。他于1879年出生于德国乌尔姆市的一个犹太人家庭(父母均为犹太人),1900年毕业于苏黎世联邦理工学院,入瑞士国籍。1905年,获苏黎世大学哲学博士学位,爱因斯坦提出光子假设,成功解释了光电效应,因此获得1921年诺贝尔物理奖,同年,创立狭义相对论。1915年创立广义相对论。
爱因斯坦为核能开发奠定了理论基础,在现代科学技术和他的深刻影响下与广泛应用等方面开创了现代科学新纪元,被公认为是继伽利略、牛顿以来最伟大的物理学家。1999年12月26日,爱因斯坦被美国《时代周刊》评选为“世纪伟人”。
 
Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist1, although most people probably know him as the most intelligent person who ever lived. His name has become part of many languages when we want to say someone is a genius, as in the phrase, “She’s a real Einstein”. He must have been pretty brainy to discover the Theory of Relativity and the equation2 E=mc2.
 
In 1999, ‘Time’ magazine named Einstein as the Person of the Century. No one could have guessed this would happen when he was at school. He was extremely interested in science but hated the system of learning by heart. He said it destroyed learning and creativity. He had already done many experiments, but failed the entrance exams to a technical college.
 
He didn’t let this setback3 stop him. When he was 16, he performed his famous experiment of imagining traveling alongside4 a beam of light. He eventually graduated from university, in 1900, with a degree in physics. Twelve years later he was a university professor and in 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for Physics. He went on to publish over 300 scientific papers.
 
Einstein is the only scientist to become a cult5 figure, a household name, and part of everyday culture. He once joked that when people stopped him in the street, he always replied: "Pardon me, sorry! Always I am mistaken for Professor Einstein.” Today, he is seen as the typical mad, absent-minded professor, who just happened to change our world.
