书籍简介

他的名字是“天才”的代名词，但任何读者都可以阅读这位著名物理学家和学者的文章。除了用日常语言概述相对论的核心之外，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦还对他做出重大贡献的其他科学领域进行了引人入胜的讨论。这位诺贝尔奖获得者还介绍了一些历史上最有影响力的物理学家，他自己的工作就是基于这些物理学家的研究。

这本书汇集了爱因斯坦一生的演讲和论文，标志着这位科学家在抽象物理领域的成就首次向更广泛的世界展示。除了相对论，这些文章还研究了理论物理的方法，研究的原则，和科学真理的概念。以及爱因斯坦在哥伦比亚大学和普鲁士科学院对听众的演讲，还有他对约翰尼斯·开普勒、艾萨克·牛顿爵士、詹姆斯·克拉克·麦克斯韦、尼尔斯·玻尔、马克斯·普朗克等科学巨擘的深刻见解，都在本书中。

His name is synonymous with "genius," but these essays by the renowned physicist and scholar are accessible to any reader. In addition to outlining the core of relativity theory in everyday language, Albert Einstein presents fascinating discussions of other scientific fields to which he made significant contributions. The Nobel Laureate also profiles some of history's most influential physicists, upon whose studies his own work was based.

Assembled during Einstein's lifetime from his speeches and essays, this book marks the first presentation to the wider world of the scientist's accomplishments in the field of abstract physics. Along with relativity theory, these articles examine the methods of theoretical physics, principles of research, and the concept of scientific truth. Einstein's speeches to audiences at Columbia University and the Prussian Academy of Science appear here, along with his insightful observations on such giants of science as Johannes Kepler, Sir Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Niels Bohr, Max Planck, and others.

作者简介

阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦（1879年3月14日—1955年4月18日），出生于德国巴登－符腾堡州乌尔姆市，现代物理学家。 

1900年毕业于瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院，入瑞士国籍。1905年，爱因斯坦获苏黎世大学物理学博士学位，并提出光子假设、成功解释了光电效应（因此获得1921年诺贝尔物理学奖）；同年创立狭义相对论，1915年创立广义相对论，1933年移居美国、在普林斯顿高等研究院任职，1940年加入美国国籍同时保留瑞士国籍。1955年4月18日，爱因斯坦于美国新泽西州普林斯顿逝世，享年76岁。

1999年12月，爱因斯坦被美国《时代周刊》评选为20世纪的“世纪伟人（Person of the Century）”。

爱因斯坦的理论为核能的开发奠定了理论基础，为帮助对抗纳粹，他曾在利奥·西拉德等人的协助下曾致信美国总统富兰克林·罗斯福、直接促成了曼哈顿计划的启动，而二战后他积极倡导和平、反对使用核武器，并签署了《罗素—爱因斯坦宣言》 。爱因斯坦开创了现代科学技术新纪元，被公认为是继伽利略、牛顿之后最伟大的物理学家，也是批判学派科学哲学思想之集大成者和发扬光大者。

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics.His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation".His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science.[8][9] He received 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 pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius".
