Widely regarded as the most influential physicist of the twentieth century, Albert Einstein developed the special and general theories of relativity. His work won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for its explanation of the photoelectric effect. Einstein also made important contributions to statistical mechanics and quantum theory. His mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from special relativity, is the world’s most famous equation. Einstein’s groundbreaking work, decades ahead of its time, continues to inform and inspire the work of scientists across the world. This eBook presents Einstein’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare translations, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
