Einstein’s contributions to the study of physics are many

Einstein’s contributions to the study of physics are many. His special theory of relativity helps in the reconciliation of the two branches of physics in mechanics and electromagnetism. In his general theory of relativity, the principle of relativity is extended into non-uniform motion, which leads to a new understanding of gravitation and removes the anomalies that physics faced with the Newtonian theories on gravity. His theories have also made contributions to the understanding of relativistic cosmology, capillary action, and critical opulence. His works have helped in resolving the traditional problems that existed between statistical mechanics and its application to quantum theory and provided an explanation for the Brownian movement of molecules. He has also contributed in the areas of atomic transition probabilities and the quantum theory of mono-atomic gas. His works also contributed to laying the foundation for the photon theory, the conception of the unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.
