  2. Theory of everything - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything

    After 1915, when Albert Einstein published the theory of gravity (general relativity), the search for a unified field theory combining gravity with electromagnetism began with a renewed interest. In Einstein's day, the strong and the weak forces had not yet been discovered, yet he found the potential existence of two other distinct forces ...

  3. Second law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics

    This reaffirms Albert Einstein's postulates that cornerstone Special and General Relativity - that the flow of time is irreversible, however it is relative. Cause must precede effect, but only within the constraints as defined explicitly within General Relativity (or Special Relativity , depending on the local spacetime conditions).

    The Einstein-de Haas experiment is the only experiment concived, realized and published by Albert Einstein himself. A complete original version of the Einstein-de Haas experimental equipment was donated by Geertruida de Haas-Lorentz , wife of de Haas and daughter of Lorentz, to the Ampère Museum in Lyon France in 1961 where it is currently on ...

    Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with heat, work, and temperature, and their relation to energy, entropy, and the physical properties of matter and ...

  6. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    By 1905, Albert Einstein had used the constancy of the speed-of-light in Maxwell's theory to unify our notions of space and time into an entity we now call spacetime. In 1915, he expanded this theory of special relativity to a description of gravity, general relativity , using a field to describe the curving geometry of four-dimensional (4D ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    General relativity is the geometrical theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915/16. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] It unifies special relativity, Newton's law of universal gravitation , and the insight that gravitation can be described by the curvature of space and time.

  8. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    Traditionally, thermodynamics has recognized three fundamental laws, simply named by an ordinal identification, the first law, the second law, and the third law. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A more fundamental statement was later labelled as the zeroth law after the first three laws had been established.

  9. Einstein solid - Wikipedia

    The Einstein solid is a model of a crystalline solid that contains a large number of independent three-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillators of the same frequency. The independence assumption is relaxed in the Debye model .
