We review the physics at the end of the nineteenth century and summarize the process of the establishment of Special Relativity by Albert Einstein in brief. Following in the giant's footsteps, we outline the scientific method which helps to do research. We give some examples in illustration of this method. We discuss the origin of quantum physics and string theory in its early years of development. The discoveries of the neutrino and the correct model of solar system are also present.
This paper reviews briefly the history of the Michelson experiment, invented and performed for the first time in the Astrophysical Observatory Potsdam in 1881. The paper draws attention to the International Michelson Colloquium, held from April 27 to April 30, 1981 in Potsdam (Germany). This paper is an attempt to reconsider a scientific event organized 40 years ago, as the follow-up to Einsteinss Centenary in 1979, for Michelsons experiment done 140 years ago.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary since the beginning of the search for gravitational waves at the Max Planck Society, and in coincidence with the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the Albert Einstein Institute, we explore the interplay between the renaissance of general relativity and the advent of relativistic astrophysics following the German early involvement in gravitational-wave research, to the point when gravitational-wave detection became established by the appearance of full-scale detectors and international collaborations. On the background of the spectacular astrophysical…
