What did Albert Einstein invent?

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc². Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."

Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation. His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.

Einstein published over 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works.^[2][3] Einstein is revered by the physics community,^[4] and in 1999 Time magazine named him the "Person of the Century". In wider culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius

However, the only known invention that was credited to his name was the Einstein refrigerator - it is an absorption-type refrigerator which has no moving parts and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd and patented in the US on November 11, 1930.

Albert Einstein is possibly the most famous scientist who ever lived! One of his better known achievements is the very simple equation: E = mc². He won the Nobel Prize in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect, and he also developed the Theory of Relativity.

His contributions amounted to a radical change in world view. Before Einstein, certain things were simply assumed to be true. Among them were the "laws" gravity and falling bodies as they had been outlined by Isaac Newton. Also, it was generally believed that 'time' itself was a physical constant: Everyone and everything would experience the passage of time the same way as everyone and everything else. His theory of special relativity predicted that this was not true, and was later validated by experiments with atomic clocks.

Einstein's work shows that while Newton's equations work for moving objects that are part of our observed world, including the planets, the concepts of velocity, gravity and time work much differently when you are dealing with the speed of light. Mass and time change in amazing ways when objects approach the speed of light.

Albert Einstein was a German inventor and mathematician who invented the formula E=mc2.

He was a genius, physicist and a mathematician back in the time of WWII. He fled from Germany to escape the Nazis because he was a pacifist and a Jew. He has also won a few Nobel Prizes. He is dead now but most of the things we know about light and the theory of relativity came from him.

He was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically the mass-energy equivalence. He has received a Nobel Prize.
