Did Einstein win more than one Nobel Prize?

No, Albert Einstein didn't win more than one Nobel Prize. He only received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the photoelectric effect. That was the only one he received.


How has the invention of Albert Einstein help us now?

Albert Einstein was a physicist, not an inventor or engineer. He worked on a more theoretical level, and never actually "invented" anything. But there is one invention, more than perhaps any other, that depends DIRECTLY on Einstein's work, in which few other pure scientists did much. Einstein won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the photo-electric effect, which lead directly to the invention of the photo-voltaic solar cell. This is not to downplay his significant contributions to nuclear physics, to electromagnetic energy, or his fundamental contributions in other areas. In one episode of Star Trek:The Next Generation, the android Commander Data arranges a poker game on the holodeck of the starship Enterprise with the three most influential physicists of all time; Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. In that episode, Stephen Hawking was played by Stephen Hawking, who claimed to have greatly enjoyed the role.


Is there anything in the universe that can travel faster than the speed of light?

No, never! it is disproved by Einstein


What did Albert Einstein use his tools to invent?

Einstein didn't really have any tools - other than his mind. He also didn't invent things - more discovered them. He built on the work of other scientists and used his own incredible intellect to discover and describe in more detail than anyone before him how the universe works. For example He then wrote down his descriptions of the universe in the language of physics - Maths. Hence is giving us the equation: E = mc2


Did albert Einstein create anthing else than the theory of relavtity?

Yes, Albert Einstein made many other significant contributions to physics and science. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the photoelectric effect, which laid the foundation for quantum theory. Additionally, he made important contributions to the development of quantum mechanics and the understanding of Brownian motion.


What are 10 things Albert Einstein invented?

Albert Einstein is most known for his theoretical physics contributions, rather than inventions. However, he did invent a refrigerator with Leo Szilard, a self-adjusting camera, and an electromagnetic coil called the Einstein refrigerator, among other things.


Why did Albert Einstein get arrested?

He was arrested for going faster than the speed of light! Haha!


What was Albert Einstein other than a mathematician?

He was an accomplished scientist


Is there anything smaller than a gluon?

Gluons are elementary particles and are considered one of the smallest particles in the standard model of particle physics. There is currently no evidence to suggest the existence of anything smaller than a gluon within our current understanding of physics.


Why did Albert Einstein choose to study physics?

Albert Einstein was interested in understanding the workings of the universe from a young age. He found physics to be a fascinating field that allowed him to explore fundamental questions about the nature of space, time, and matter. His curiosity and passion for unraveling the mysteries of the universe drove him to pursue a career in physics.


What philosophy did Albert Einstein have?

it isn't clear what Einstein believed about anything but physics. He is credited with several enigmatic statements that give no clear indication one way or another. Some argue that he was an atheist, but this doesn't hold water; Einstein was an ethnic Jew who was raised as a religious Jew. While he did not practice the religion as an adult, what you learn in childhood is always carried into adulthood in some form. He could perhaps be best described as an agnostic. He obviously had a well developed sense of humor, and was moral in most matters other than perhaps his personal life and interpersonal relationships.


Why can't we go faster than the speed of light?

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, as an object with mass approaches the speed of light, its energy and mass increase infinitely, making it impossible to reach or exceed the speed of light. This is because the laws of physics prevent anything with mass from traveling faster than the speed of light.
