Einstein's research fields are relativity and photoelectric effect.
Stephen william hawking (CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA (stephen william hawking, 1942, 65438+1October 8-), a famous physicist at Cambridge University, is considered as one of the most outstanding theoretical physicists after Einstein. Hawking is the most important contemporary general relativity and cosmologist. He is one of the great men who enjoy an international reputation. He is known as one of the greatest scientists in the world, and also known as "the king of the universe".
He suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and he is paralyzed and unable to speak. The only places where he can move are two eyes and three fingers, and he can't move anywhere else.
From 1979 to 2009, he served as Lucas Professor of Mathematics, which is the highest professorship in Britain. Hawking's main research fields are cosmology and black holes. He proved the singularity theorem and black hole area theorem of general relativity, and put forward the evaporation phenomenon of black holes and the borderless Hawking universe model, which took an important step to unify the two basic theories of physics in the 20th century-relativity founded by Einstein and quantum mechanics founded by Planck.
Albert Einstein (1879.3.14-1955.4.18) is a Jewish physicist. 1879 was born in a Jewish family in Ulm, Germany (both parents are Jews). 1900 graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and became a Swiss citizen. 1905 received a doctorate from the University of Zurich. Einstein put forward the photon hypothesis and successfully explained the photoelectric effect, so he won the 192 1 year Nobel Prize in physics. In the same year, he founded the special theory of relativity. General relativity was founded in 19 15.
Einstein laid a theoretical foundation for the development of nuclear energy, initiated a new era of modern science under the influence of modern science and technology and its wide application, and was recognized as the greatest physicist after Galileo and Newton. 199965438+On February 26th, Einstein was selected as "the great man of the century" by American Time magazine.
