The effect of density fluctuations is that light of all wavelengths is scattered, making the fluid look milky white. [143] Einstein has said "Being a Jew myself, perhaps I can understand and empathize with how black people feel as victims of discrimination".[145]. Einstein's sketches for this project may be seen in the Einstein Archive in the library of the Leiden University.[190]. General relativity has developed into an essential tool in modern astrophysics. These books provide many people a way to find meaning in a world that is moving faster and faster every day. [120] Einstein asked them to help bring Jewish scientists out of Germany. [161] However, later in his life, Einstein's political view was in favor of socialism and critical of capitalism, which he detailed in his essays such as "Why Socialism? [89] In 1922, he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". If one end of a wormhole was positively charged, the other end would be negatively charged. [249] In a thought experiment, he considered two particles which had interacted such that their properties were strongly correlated. Locker-Lampson invited him to stay near his Cromer home in a wooden cabin on Roughton Heath in the Parish of Roughton, Norfolk. The astrophysicist Mario Livio has recently cast doubt on this claim, suggesting that it may be exaggerated.

The energy and momentum derived within general relativity by Noether's prescriptions do not make a real tensor for this reason. [104], After arriving in New York City, Einstein was taken to various places and events, including Chinatown, a lunch with the editors of The New York Times, and a performance of Carmen at the Metropolitan Opera, where he was cheered by the audience on his arrival. Barbara Wolff, of the Hebrew University's Albert Einstein Archives, told the BBC that there are about 3,500 pages of private correspondence written between 1912 and 1955. ga('create', 'UA-13175707-1', Earlier, in 1921, he was asked by the biochemist and president of the World Zionist Organization, Chaim Weizmann, to help raise funds for the planned university.

[107], This aversion to war also led Einstein to befriend author Upton Sinclair and film star Charlie Chaplin, both noted for their pacifism.

Those observations were published in the international media, making Einstein world-famous. [88], In 1920, he became a Foreign Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. From 1912 until 1914, he was a professor of theoretical physics at the ETH Zurich, where he taught analytical mechanics and thermodynamics. As a result, Einstein was awarded a PhD by the University of Zürich, with his dissertation A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions.[76][77]. dfpSlots['leftslot_a'] = googletag.defineSlot('/23202586/old_leftslot', [[160, 600]], 'ad_leftslot_a').defineSizeMapping(mapping_leftslot_a).setTargeting('sri', '0').setTargeting('vp', 'top').setTargeting('hp', 'left').addService(googletag.pubads()); type: "html5", {code: 'ad_topslot', pubstack: { adUnitName: 'old_topslot', adUnitPath: '/23202586/old_topslot' }, mediaTypes: { banner: { sizes: [[728, 90]] } }, url : 'collocations', /*academic The Bohr–Einstein debates were a series of public disputes about quantum mechanics between Einstein and Niels Bohr, who were two of its founders.

He was greeted as if he were a head of state, rather than a physicist, which included a cannon salute upon arriving at the home of the British high commissioner, Sir Herbert Samuel. He is sometimes erroneously credited as the editor of the 1937 edition of the Köchel catalog of Mozart's work; that edition was prepared by Alfred Einstein, who may have been a distant relation.

Einstein contributed significantly to the early development of quantum mechanics.

In late July 1933, he went to England for about six weeks at the personal invitation of British naval officer Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson, who had become friends with Einstein in the preceding years.
