ALBERT EINSTEIN HISTORICAL !! JEW HELPING JEW FOR JEWS COLLEGE IN LONDON =ORIGINAL SIGNEDALBERT EINSTEIN: And it would please me very much if he could get to work at the Jews College – letter of recommendation signed by Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (1879-1955), a Jewish physicist, one of the most influential physicists in the 20th century, who developed the General Theory of Relativity and laid the foundations of Quantum Mechanics. Recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, Jews were isolated and expelled from German society. The new German government had passed anti-Semitic laws barring Jews from holding any official positions, (including teaching at universities). The Nazis also persecuted Jewish physicists; rejecting and labeling Einstein’s Theory of Relativity as “Jewish Physics”. When Hitler rose to power, Einstein was on a lecture tour abroad. In view of the situation, he decided to give up his German citizenship, and after a short period, settled in the United States where he was offered a position at the Institute for Advanced Studied in Princeton, New Jersey. Einstein lived in Princeton until he passed away on April 18, 1955.
Dr. Boris Brutzkus, professor of agrarian economics at the Hebrew University since 1933. Born in Russia, Prof. Brutzkus had to leave in 1922 because of his opposition to the Communist regime. From 1922 until he left for Jerusalem, Prof. Brutzkus was on the faculty of the Russian Scientific Institute at Berlin

; 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born
theoretical physicist
,
[5]
widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is 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
.
[3]
[6]
His
mass–energy equivalence
formula
E
=
mc
2
, which arises from relativity theory, has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation".
[7]
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
",
[10]
a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming
synonymous
with "genius".
[11]
In 1905, a year sometimes described as his
annus mirabilis
('miracle year'), Einstein published
four groundbreaking papers
besides his work at the Swiss
patent office
in
Bern, Switzerland
.
[12]
These outlined the theory of the photoelectric effect, explained
Brownian motion
, introduced
special relativity
, and demonstrated mass-energy equivalence. Einstein thought that the laws of
classical mechanics
could no longer be reconciled with those of the
electromagnetic field
, which led him to develop his special theory of relativity. He then extended the theory to gravitational fields; he published a paper on
general relativity
in 1916, introducing his theory of gravitation. In 1917, he applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe.
[13]
[14]
He continued to deal with problems of
statistical mechanics
and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the
motion of molecules
. He also investigated the thermal properties of light and the quantum theory of radiation, which laid the foundation of the
photon
theory of light. However, for much of the later part of his career, he worked on two ultimately unsuccessful endeavors. First, despite his great contributions to quantum mechanics, he opposed what it evolved into, objecting that nature "does not play dice".
[15]
Second, he attempted to devise a
unified field theory
by generalizing his geometric theory of gravitation to include electromagnetism. As a result, he became increasingly isolated from the mainstream of modern physics.
Einstein was born in the
German Empire
, but moved to Switzerland in 1895, forsaking his German citizenship (subject of the
Kingdom of Württemberg
)
[note 1]
the following year. In 1897, at the age of 17, he enrolled in the four-year mathematics and physics teaching diploma program at the Swiss
Federal polytechnic school
(later renamed as ETH Zurich) in
Zürich
, he graduated in 1900. In 1901, he acquired Swiss citizenship, which he kept for the rest of his life. In 1905, he was awarded a PhD by the
University of Zurich
. In 1914, Einstein moved to
Berlin
in order to join the
Prussian Academy of Sciences
and the
Humboldt University of Berlin
, and to direct the 1917 created
Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics
; he also became a German citizen again – Prussian this time. In 1933, while Einstein was visiting the United States,
Adolf Hitler
came to power. Einstein did not return to Germany because he objected to the policies of the newly elected
Nazi-led government
.
[16]
He settled in the United States and became an American citizen in 1940.
[17]
On the eve of
World War II
, he endorsed
a letter
to President
Franklin D. Roosevelt
alerting him to the potential
German nuclear weapons program
and recommending that the US begin
similar research
. Einstein supported the
Allies
, but he generally denounced the idea of
nuclear weapons
.
