摘要
阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein,1879~1955),被认为是当今世界最著名的科学家。他提出了光量子假说,解释了布朗运动,提出了测定分子大小的新方法,提出了我们现在称之为狭义相对论的理论。它彻底改变了人们对于时间、空间、物质和能量的传统看法,具有划时代的意义。他在1915年提出了广义相对论,被认为是人类认识大自然最伟大的成果。他因提出光子假设,成功解释了光电效应,被授予1921年度诺贝尔物理学奖。我们今天仍然在许多方面受惠于爱因斯坦,最明显的例子是全球定位系统(GPS)。他还是一位伟大的思想家和人道主义者。他利用自己在科学界以外的非凡影响力,致力于国际的谅解与和平。他对社会公正的终极关怀、他对人类创造性的关注、他对自由的渴望、他的人道主义等将长存于世。阅读爱因斯坦的著作,是了解爱因斯坦的最佳途径。
Albert Einstein(1879-1955)is considered the most famous scientist in the world today.He put forward the optical quantum hypothesis,explained Brownian motion,proposed a new method to determine the molecular size,and put forward what we now call special relativity.It completely changes people's traditional view of time,space,material and energy,which has epoch-making significance.In 1915,he put forward the general theory of relativity and was regarded as the greatest achievement of human knowledge of nature.He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for the propose of photon hypothesis and the successful explain of photoelectric effect.We still benefit from Einstein in many ways today,and the most obvious example is the Global Positioning System(GPS).He was also a great thinker and humanitarian.Using his extraordinary influence outside the scientific community,he is committed to international understanding and peace.His ultimate concern for social justice,his concern for human creativity,his desire for freedom,and his humanity will live forever.Reading Einstein's works is the best way to understand Einstein.
