SUMMARY OF TALK
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and other papers got him a Nobel Prize. Einstein’s theory, E=MCsquared, was basis for later development of Laser and other developments in physics. He built on the earlier work of Herze and Plancke. He, David, is a lobbyist for the American Physics Society. He displayed on screen 30 minutes of a three hour lecture. Einstein couldn’t get a teaching job so ended up as a patent examiner in Swiss Patent Office.
