Einstein's Annus Mirabilis, 1905 - Professor Raymond Flood

Professor Flood reviews the year that made Einstein famous as he published some of his greatest work: www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...
In 1905, his 'year of wonders', Einstein published four papers of ground-breaking importance. First he published the work that introduced quanta of energy - a core idea of quantum theory. Next was a paper on Brownian motion explaining the movement of small particles suspended in a liquid. His third paper introduced the special theory of relativity linking time, distance, mass and energy while his fourth paper contains one of the most famous equations of all, E=mc².
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and...

Always a pleasure to watch Prof Flood's lectures. The annotation of some of his slides could be a bit larger, but that's a minor gripe.

Minor correction: Herblock's first name was Herbert, not Herman.

is the space craft schema correct?

[@MrBorceivanovski]

That's all correct in the respect so of our known universe and our knowledge and perceptions #

Why is that we can see Einstein’s school transcript and not obama’s?

[@georgesmith4639]

nick. Why do you need to see it? The IRS sees it every year and is satisfied he is paying his taxes or he would have been charged with income tax evasion.

[@johnries5593]

Probably because Einstein is dead. Somehow, I doubt President Trump's university transcripts are publicly available either.

@@johnries5593 I think the day Trump's university transripts are published will be a day of universal laughter!
