Albert Einstein is a very popular person in history. He made the Special Theory of Relatively, Einstein’s Refrigerator, and he created the Manhattan Project. The Special Theory of Relatively is a theory that time and space are relative to their observer. The Quantum Theory of Light suggests that light is made of small packets of photons that have wavelike properties. The Manhattan Project is a research project supported by the U.S, which led to the making of the atomic bomb in 1945.

This theory basically means that when an object gets closer to the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to go any faster than the speed of light. This theory has caused a lot of debate in discussions of physics. This was made in 1905 and it forms part of modern physics. After a decade of pondering of acceleration, he made the General Theory of Relatively.

Einstein and Szilard made 45 patents in six different countries, for a refrigerator. None of their designs ever became consumer products, although several were licensed and providing scientists a bit of extra income over the years. The prototypes were not energy efficient, it was an introduction to new non-toxic refrigerators.

Einstein’s greatest role in the Manhattan Project is that he signed a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging that the bomb be built. The actual work he did on the atomic bomb was very limited, he completed it in just two days during December 1941.Vannevar Bush asked Einstein for help about a theoretical problem about, separating fissionable materials by gaseous diffusion. In November 1954, Einstein said, “I made one great mistake in my life…when I signed that letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification-the danger that the Germans would make them.”

Albert Einstein changed the world of science. His many theories and inventions have made him famous. The most common thing people think of when they here Albert Einstein was E=mc2, but in reality, there were a lot of other things that he did. Over all he changed the way we thought of life.
