I don't know of atomic theory, but he came up with the idea that light energy acted like packetts of energy that he called photons. Thru some theoretical calculations he came up with Plank's constant that deals with the energy of different wavelengths of light.
he did the relativity theory and he was a major astronomer expanded knowledge of gravity
He did the Relativity Theory and he was a major astronomer expanded Knowledge of Gravity.
Aristotle did not believe in the Atomic Theory. He believed that everything was made up of only 4 elements fire, water, air, and earth. This theory was proven incorrect as is evidenced by the periodic table of elements. In short the answer to this question is, none.
The purpose of the Copley Medal is to honor someone who makes a major contribution to science. Einstein won for his theory of relativity and quantum mechanics in 1925.
One of his major contribution is on the study of power, e.s.p, the unit of power is named after him.
Planck's Constant -> 6.626 x 10^34 Also the idea of Quanta's, further researched by Einstien. :D
Atomic Theory
Dalton's atomic theory was a major contribution to discover the atomic structure in despite of been completely counterproved.
Two related questions (completed with answers) should be followed.Cf 'Related questions' in the link below this answer.
The cell theory
Mendel
Dalton's Atomic Theory 1) All matter is made of atoms. Atoms are indivisible and indestructible. 2) All atoms of a given element are identical in mass and properties 3) Compounds are formed by a combination of two or more different kinds of atoms. 4) A chemical reaction is a rearrangement of atoms.
