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 ...
Albert Einstein – German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the theory of relativity , one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics ). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] : 274 Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science .
A hallmark of Albert Einstein's career was his use of visualized thought experiments (German: Gedankenexperiment [1]) as a fundamental tool for understanding physical issues and for elucidating his concepts to others. Einstein's thought experiments took diverse forms. In his youth, he mentally chased beams of light.
The Zurich Notebook is one of Albert Einstein's notebooks, from his time in Zürich. It contains much of the basic work for general relativity. [1] References
Albert Einstein introduced the special relativity and general relativity theories for light and gravity in 1905 and 1915 respectively. Along with Max Planck , he was instrumental in the creation of modern physics with the introduction of quantum mechanics , in which Werner Heisenberg and Max Born later made major contributions.

The Einstein–Szilard or Einstein refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator which has no moving parts, operates at constant pressure, and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd , who patented it in the U.S. on November 11, 1930 ( U.S. patent 1,781,541 ).
Einstein's Blackboard is a blackboard [1] which physicist Albert Einstein (1879–1955) used on 16 May 1931 during his lectures while visiting the University of Oxford in England. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The blackboard is in the collection of the History of Science Museum in Oxford .
January 3 – Albert Einstein begins doing research at the California Institute of Technology, along with astronomer Edwin Hubble. In October the Caltech Department of Physics faculty and graduate students meet with Einstein as a guest.
