Einstein's Theories:
The miraculous year 1905.
¥In 1905 Einstein
submitted three famous papers to the Annalen der Physik (a German
physics journal) covering the following topics:
¥The photoelectric
effect.
¥An experimental test
of the kinetic theory of heat.
¥The special

¥We will now
briefly describe how these theories changed the world of physics before focusing in more detail on
Einstein's theories of relativity (special and general).
