This April 18 marks the 68th anniversary of the death of Albert Einstein, scientist German, born on March 14, 1879, who throughout his career as a physicist was in charge of developing one of the most important advances in the science modern: the theory of relativity.
It was in 1915 when the mathematician also presented said theory that reformulated the concept of the gravitybringing as a consequence the emergence of the scientific study of the origin and evolution of the universe, from physics.
The theory of general relativity of einstein It states that gravity is not a force, as Newton had previously stated, but that it was a curvature of space-time, that is, that space-time indicates to matter how it should move and how to curve. Thus each body has its own time, compared to that of another body in motion.
Famous quotes from Albert Einstein
In addition to his theory of relativity, Albert Einstein He also gained worldwide and historical recognition thanks to his scientific contributions to the law of the photoelectric effect, work that earned him the Nobel Prize in 1921, not to mention the equation E=mc2 which, later, served for the formula used in the creation of the atomic bomb.
Today, 68 years after his death, we remember this scientist who revolutionized modern physics with these 10 famous phrases:
- “The greatest mystery in the world is that it is incomprehensible.”
- “There is a driving force more powerful than steam, electricity, and atomic energy: the will.”
- “Chance does not exist. God does not play dice.”
- “A person who hasn’t made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
- “The word progress has no meaning as long as there are unhappy children.”
- “I looked deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
- “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that we used when we created them.”
- “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination.”
- “Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
- “Life is like riding a bicycle: to keep your balance you have to keep moving.”
After several decades active and contributing to the formation of new scientific knowledge, Albert Einstein He died of an abdominal aortic aneurysm at the age of 76, in the United States.
