What is the relationship between Edison and Einstein?

It is neither a teacher-student relationship nor a friend relationship. Einstein was a Jew who grew up in Germany, and Edison was an American. When Einstein arrived in the United States from Germany on 1933, Edison had already died.

Einstein made great achievements in relativity and nuclear physics. He is the most influential person in the whole scientific community and can keep pace with Newton.

Edison was a great inventor. His inventions of direct current, electric light and phonograph let us know the world better. They are two different types. It can only be said that Einstein had a greater influence on cutting-edge science, and Edison's invention was indispensable to ordinary people.

Thomas Alva Edison (1847, February11-1,10, 10/8) was born in Milan, Ohio. Inventors and entrepreneurs. Edison was the first person in human history to use a large number of production principles and electrical engineering research laboratories to patent inventions, which had a great and far-reaching impact on the world. His invention of the phonograph, movie camera and electric light had a great influence on the world. He had more than 2,000 inventions and 1000 patents in his life. Edison was named the ninth among the 65,438+000 people who influenced the United States by the authoritative American periodical Atlantic Monthly.

Albert. Einstein (1March 87914-1April 955 18) was born in Ulm, Wü rttemberg, Germany, and graduated from Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich as a Jewish physicist.

Einstein was born in a Jewish family in Ulm, Germany on 1879. 1900 graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and became a Swiss citizen. 1905 received a doctorate from the University of Zurich. Einstein put forward the photon hypothesis and successfully explained the photoelectric effect. So he won the Nobel Prize in physics at 192 1 and founded the special theory of relativity at 1905. General relativity was founded in 19 15. 1April 1955 18 died at the age of 76.

Einstein laid a theoretical foundation for the development of nuclear energy and initiated a new era of modern science and technology, and was recognized as the greatest physicist after Galileo and Newton. 199965438+On February 26th, Einstein was selected as "the great man of the century" by American Time magazine.
