Albert Einstein

February 20, 2008

Einstein lived as a boy in Munich and Milan, continued his studies at the cantonal school at Aarau, Switzerland, and was graduated (1900) from the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. Later he became a Swiss citizen. He was examiner (1902–9) at the patent office, Bern. During this period he obtained his doctorate (1905) at the Univ. of Zurich, evolved the special theory of relativity, explained the photoelectric effect, and studied the motion of atoms, on which he based his explanation of Brownian movement. In 1909 his work had already attracted attention among scientists, and he was offered an adjunct professorship at the Univ. of Zurich. He resigned that position in 1910 to become full professor at the German Univ., Prague, and in 1912 he accepted the chair of theoretical physics at the Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich. By 1913 Einstein had won international fame and was invited by the Prussian Academy of Sciences to come to Berlin as titular professor of physics and as director of theoretical physics at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute. He assumed these posts in 1914 and subsequently resumed his German citizenship. For his work in theoretical physics, notably on the photoelectric effect, he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics. His property was confiscated (1934) by the Nazi government because he was Jewish, and he was deprived of his German citizenship. He had previously accepted (1933) a post at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, which he held until his death in 1955. An ardent pacifist, Albert Einstein was long active in the cause of world peace; however, in 1939, at the request of a group of scientists, he wrote to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to stress the urgency of investigating the possible use of atomic energy in bombs. In 1940 he became an American citizen. Einstein’s early work on the theory of relativity (1905) dealt only with systems or observers in uniform (un accelerated) motion with respect to one another and is referred to as the special theory of relativity; among other results, it demonstrated that two observers moving at great speed with respect to each other will disagree about measurements of length and time intervals made in each other’s systems, that the speed of light is the limiting speed of all bodies having mass, and that mass and energy are equivalent. In 1911 he asserted the equivalence of gravitation and inertia, and in 1916 he completed his mathematical formulation of a general theory of relativity that included gravitation as a determiner of the curvature of a space-time continuum. He then began work on his unified field theory, which attempts to explain gravitation, electromagnetism, and subatomic phenomena in one set of laws; the successful development of such a unified theory, however, eluded Einstein.

Improve Your Websites Link Popularity

February 15, 2008

Link popularity is nothing but it is a score of your website, in terms of search engine spiders which is the total number of external links from other websites to your website. Link popularity is related to the link importance that looks at the type of external link and assigns high scores to high quality links. Some of the more complex search engine algorithms combine link popularity with link importance and use it to assign a weighted link popularity score. The weighted score looks at two things: the number of sites linked and the relative importance of those sites. It affects your site because, one site won’t link to another site for no reason, and so a site with a lot of external links must contain valuable content. Lots of links to your site can improve your search engine ranking by keeping you in the search engines. As more sites link to you, the odds increase that search engine spiders will encounter your site regularly and be less likely to drop it from their databases. You can improve your websites link popularity using the services of some professional and affordable SEO companies.

The disadvantage of link popularity as a ranking tool is that it penalizes new sites. Even if you have a terrific site stuffed with valuable content, it still takes time to publish your site and collect links. So do not wait for some webmasters to find your website. Search the Internet to find sites related to yours and compile a list of sites likely to be interested in linking to your site. Email the Webmaster of each site and briefly explain how a link to your site could benefit their visitors. Register with a link exchange service to quickly generate more links pointing to your site. Before you register with a service, carefully study its rules and regulations to make sure your site is eligible. Also check to make sure that the links are relevant to your site content. There are dozens of free sites that provide you links for free, but some of these might be considered as spam by the search engine spiders. There is also a problem some times by the search engines that doesn’t count free websites in their link popularity scores. So look for all the option and improve you link popularity score.
