Did Einstein Win His Nobel Prize For Relativity Theory?
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was probably
the most famous scientist who ever lived on this planet, and as famous as he,
was his Relativity Theory (Well, at least in the scientific
community): grossly this theory says that gravity is nothing more than
the curvature of the space-time (a mathematical identity where the
space and time are trated as the same in a four-dimensional manifold).

Although it is his masterpiece, this did not
yield a Nobel Prize: the relativity theory is in fact the most accurate theory
by the experiments carried out of all times, it predicts gravitational waves,
time dilatation, Black Holes.
In 1905, Einstein published four important papers,
between these papers there was the start of the special relativity theory in
addition to what explained the photoelectric effect, that in turn,
phenomenon in which elec trically charger particles are released from or
within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation.
Even though the relativity theory was experimentally tested,
Einstein won the Nobel Prize of 1921 for his contributions in
theoretical physics and the photoelectric law in 1922.
Looking for references? The book
Einstein: His Life and Universe by
Walter Isaacson is a great start to know about Einstein's life.
Where do you from ? It's cool about wht do you write in this post.
