Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativiti, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism , and his general theory of relativiti , which extended the principle of relativiti to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation. His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and their application to quantum theory , and explanation of the browmian movement of molecules, atomic transition probalities , the quantum theory of a monatomic gas , thermal properties of ligth with low radiation density a theory of radiation including stimulated emission , the conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.
Works by Albert Einstein include more than fifty scientific papers and also non-scientific books. Einstein is revered by the physics community, and in 1999 time magazine named him the "person of the century ". In wider culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius.
