Did Einstein's Work Affect All Areas of Physics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Albert Einstein's work significantly influenced various fields of physics, including quantum mechanics (QM) and thermodynamics, despite his initial skepticism towards quantum theory. His explanation of the photoelectric effect earned him a Nobel Prize and laid foundational principles for QM. Discussions in the forum highlight that while Einstein's contributions are vast, they do not encompass every area of physics, particularly in subatomic particle theory and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The debate emphasizes the ongoing relevance of Einstein's theories, such as the Einstein Relation and Fick's Law, in modern physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles, particularly the photoelectric effect.
  • Familiarity with thermodynamics and the Einstein Relation.
  • Knowledge of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and electroweak theory.
  • Basic concepts of fluid mechanics and hydrodynamics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the photoelectric effect in modern quantum mechanics.
  • Study the Einstein Relation and its applications in thermodynamics.
  • Explore the fundamentals of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and its relation to relativity.
  • Investigate the historical context and evolution of the ether theory in physics.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of physics, and anyone interested in the historical and theoretical impact of Einstein's work on modern physics.

Suddenly, the theme-song from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is playing in the background...

...Laughing with the kind of sinister laugh that only bad guys have,

At least I got to be "the Bad." Of the three that was one of the two I would prefer.

Curses on those Einstein-Euler equations.

Nice piece of writing Enthropy, I thought you would have fun with the western theme.

You are not responsible for the inaccuracy in your sources, but the Einstein archives are now available online, and it should be possible to resolve these issues by inspection of them.

Most of what you will find there is probably already available online in translated forms.

In my previous efforts in all of this I had found a later reference for einstein having given a speech and mentioning the Ether as being something that he still agreed with in/as principal.

Soooo... let entropy defend himself, if he can...


Lets see, he slew "the bad" all that's left is "the Good" and "the Ugly", well, (**takes a look in the mirror**) solves that problem!

Hey...take a break...what is this ? Leave Einstein to RIP...
entropy -> you're perfectly right...
the others -> you're perfectly right too...

Defend myself against what?

Since you are so slow, let me explain the object of the game to you. One person brings up an area of physics that he/she believes Einstein was of no influence in. Then, I prove that person's assertion wrong in a semi-comical fashion.

You keep talking about "ether" and the fact that you believe Einstein loved it so much he wanted to marry it. Whether or not ether exists (which it doesn't), Einstein's work obviously influenced any further study in this area. Either way, I win and you lose.

So long loser...

* BANG *

You're dead.

Well, I was glad to see that someone finally figured out how the game is played. Or should I say role-played?

You keep talking about "ether" and the fact that you believe Einstein loved it so much he wanted to marry it. (<--- OH LOOK A LIE!) Whether or not ether exists (which it doesn't)(<--- OH LOOK, ANOTHER LIE!), Einstein's work obviously influenced any further study in this area. Either way, I win and you lose. ONLY IN YOUR HEAD!

So long loser...WHY, YA QUITING CAUSE YOU CAN'T WIN??

Doesn't surprise me at all!

Calm down ladies, but i think you will find that Einstein never worked on or influenced the field of Yaxitrake.

selfAdjoint, dressed as samurai and swinging katana he swiped from Entropy, jumps from behind a saguaro and cries

Ah so you've never read Einstein's yaxitrake lecture at the University of Lower Slobbovia?

Vile DOG, you insult me beneath your worth with your accusation of nationality, I am NOT A canaille you PIG, it states it clearly in my subtitle, I am PRI$ONER, your slime is beneath that of an "Underground Wiggler Skank" (eeeeUW'S) and the putred air of your vocalization would be 'value elevated' in calling it a "Skunk Gassing", beneath us all, still, you are!, so leave our pretence.

selfAdjoint, infringing on entropy's perks, swinging katana and beheading Mr. Robin Parsons; "Well if you're going to be a potty mouth we just won't let you into the Order of the Whited Sepulchre!"

Ahhh, So Sad, the bane of the self decieved, "thinks" he 'hits' what he cannot even see, yet the illusion, planted, served well.

Till another medium arrives, he will be left thinking his own existence, illusion being his living state, sadly truly delusion, but not to bother his "falsewho'odedness" ...(silence)
