Welcome to Al Einstein's 1905 home page!

General Information

NOTE: This page is just a template, meant to help students and researchers write their own home pages, to overcome anonymity, just like Einstein did in 1905, when he worked at the patent office in Bern, and hopefully to have their Warholian 15 minutes of fame. Although the information about Einstein is as accurate as could be determined, Einstein might not have endorsed the page itself, and never wrote it for sure.

Research

My current research interests are a bit varied. I've been working on five research articles to explain my points of view, which aren't considered sufficiently orthodox.

I've been thinking of expanding the idea of invariance of physical laws with respect to changes in reference frame to include also non-inertial frames. Whenever I think of what Mach said about Newton's bucket , I get more and more convinced that this effort will require bundling in the theory the effect of gravity as well. I vaguely call these thoughts general relativity .

Personal Stuff

This is my wife and friend Mileva .

With some friends in Bern I formed the Olympia Academy . We love to discuss Physics and Philosophy.

Besides Physics and Math, I like to play the violin , to sail , to make experiments with gyroscopes , and to smoke pipe .

Here is a gallery of pictures.

And here is yet another one .
