Easy Lessons in Einstein

MP3 Audio CD. First distributed in 1920, the chemist?s Easy Lessons in Einstein is many of the first propagations of Einstein?s theory of relativity. This text is proposed to express to the public the concepts of relativity in non-mathematical jargons, by making use of ideas of experiments and popular cultural sources of the time. This book also contains a brief article by Einstein on Time, Space and Gravitation.

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He advanced the theory of relativity, it is one of the two pillars of modern physics along with quantum mechanics. The physicist's work is also notable for its impact on the philosophy of science. Einstein is most famous in pop-culture for his mass?energy equivalence formula E = mc2 which has been tagged as "the world's most famous equation". He was awarded with the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect", a crucial phase in the development of quantum theory.

Einstein wrote over three hundred scientific papers also with more than one hundred fifty non-scientific writings. Einstein's intellectual accomplishments and ingenuity have created his name Einstein alike with the word genius.
