Since his birth, Albert Einstein has had the most beneficial effects on world events. Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1979 and as a boy showed an insatiable curiosity to understand science and all its mysteries. As Albert Einstein's life progressed, he found himself working as a patent clerk in Bern. While working as a patent clerk in Bern, Albert Einstein devoted much time to formulating his theories. Also during this period, Albert Einstein earned his doctorate and began work on one of his most influential papers, the Theory of Special Relativity. After completing his Theory of Special Relativity, Einstein moved on to create the Theory of General Relativity which earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. With the creation of both the Theory of General Relativity and the Theory of Special Relativity, Einstein was in able to create his own theory of relativity that includes both theories. Other scientific discoveries of Einstein are the existence of the photon, the theory of Brownian motion, the concept of mass-energy equivalence, the photoelectric effect, the first quantum theory of specific heats, the Einstein-Brilloui-Keller method for finding the force quantum mechanical version of a classical system, Bose-Einstein statistics and Bose-Einstein condensates, the EPR paradox, and, although his efforts were unsuccessful, in his last thirty years of life Einstein explored various classical field theories unified that they could explain both electromagnetism and gravitation and perhaps quantum mechanics. Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity has had a colossal impact on the world and is the accepted physical theory regi...... middle of paper ...... technique enabled the creation of the Bose theory -Einstein Condensate .The Bose-Einstein condensate is a state of matter in which a dilute gas of bosons is cooled to a temperature very close to absolute zero. The creation of Bose-Einstein condensates is the basis for super fluidity and super conductivity and enabled the creation of a new type of matter. Albert Einstein's discoveries and theories have had a truly enormous effect on the world. Some of Einstein's most impactful discoveries and theories are the theories of special and general relativity, the theory of relativity, Brownian motion, the discovery of the photon, and Einstein's creation of the equation E = MC^2. Perhaps Einstein's most beneficial discovery is his formulation of E = MC^2 which is crucial to space flight and can help today's scientists gather knowledge about our universe.
