Albert Einstein, born in Ulm, Baden-Wü rttemberg, Germany, graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and is a Jewish physicist. Swiss nationality and American nationality.

1905, Einstein received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Zurich, put forward the photon hypothesis and successfully explained the photoelectric effect, so he won the 192 1 Nobel Prize in physics.

Einstein initiated a new era of modern science and technology and was recognized as the greatest physicist after Galileo.

Because the mechanism of photoelectric effect is expounded in detail, the epoch-making theory of "light quantum" is put forward. The Nobel Prize Association awarded Einstein the physics prize at 192 1, but everyone familiar with Einstein knows that 1906' s special relativity and15' s general relativity are Einstein's theoretical physics.

In fact, the root of the problem lies not in Einstein, but in the phenomena such as black holes, gravitational waves and gravitational lenses predicted by general relativity at that time, which are all phenomena in the universe. Although Eddington, a British scientist, barely verified the general theory of relativity through the position of stars around the sun during the total solar eclipse, the Nobel Committee rejected the verification process, thinking that it was too extensive and inaccurate. Therefore, the general theory of relativity failed to win the Nobel Prize in physics.

In fact, whether it is the theory of relativity or the photoelectric effect, these basic theoretical achievements of Einstein alone do not need the Nobel Committee to add "gold content" to them. Even Einstein never won the Nobel Prize in his life, and his position in the field of modern physics is unshakable.
