In 1922, Albert Einstein was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". This refers to his 1905 paper on the photoelectric effect, "On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light", which was well supported by the experimental evidence by that time. The presentation speech began by mentioning "his theory of relativity [which had] been the subject of lively debate in philosophical circles [and] also has astrophysical implications which are being rigorously examined at the present time". ==Awards== It was long reported that, in accord with the divorce settlement,〔''Einstein Collected Papers'', Vol. 8, doc. 562〕 the Nobel Prize money had been deposited in a Swiss bank account for his wife Maric to draw on the interest for herself and their two sons, while she could only use the capital by agreement with Einstein. However, personal correspondence made public in 2006 shows that he invested much of it in the United States, and saw much of it wiped out in the Great Depression. However, ultimately he paid Maric more money than he received with the prize.〔(MSNBC Report 10 July 2006 )〕 In 1925 the Royal Society awarded Einstein the Copley Medal. In 1929, Max Planck presented Einstein with the Max Planck medal of the German Physical Society in Berlin, for extraordinary achievements in theoretical physics.〔Marco Mamone Capria (2005) ''Physics before and after Einstein'' p.5. IOS Press, 2005〕 In 1934 Einstein gave the Josiah Willard Gibbs lecture.〔(Josiah Willard Gibbs Lectures )〕 In 1936, Einstein was awarded the Franklin Institute's Franklin Medal for his extensive work on relativity and the photo-electric effect.〔 The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics named 2005 the "World Year of Physics" in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the publication of the annus mirabilis papers. The ''Albert Einstein College of Medicine'' is a research-intensive medical school located in the Morris Park neighborhood of the Bronx in New York City. The ''Albert Einstein Science Park'' is located on the hill Telegrafenberg in Potsdam, Germany. The best known building in the park is the Einstein Tower which has a bronze bust of Einstein at the entrance. The Tower is an astrophysical observatory that was built to perform checks of Einstein's theory of General Relativity.〔Brunhouse, Jay (2008) (Maverick Guide to Berlin ) Pelican Publishing Company〕 The ''Albert Einstein Memorial'' in central Washington, D.C. is a monumental bronze statue depicting Einstein seated with manuscript papers in hand. The statue, commissioned in 1979, is located in a grove of trees at the southwest corner of the grounds of the National Academy of Sciences on Constitution Avenue. The chemical element 99, einsteinium, was named for him in August 1955, four months after Einstein's death. 2001 Einstein is an inner main belt asteroid discovered on 5 March 1973. In 1999 ''Time'' magazine named him the Person of the Century, ahead of Mahatma Gandhi and Franklin Roosevelt, among others. In the words of a biographer, "to the scientifically literate and the public at large, Einstein is synonymous with genius".〔Howard, Don, and Stachel, John J. ''Einstein: The Formative Years, 1879–1909'', p. 159, Springer (2000)〕 Also in 1999, an opinion poll of 100 leading physicists ranked Einstein the "greatest physicist ever". A Gallup poll recorded him as the fourth most admired person of the 20th century in the U.S. In 1990, his name was added to the Walhalla temple for "laudable and distinguished Germans",〔Walhalla, official guide booklet. p. 3. Translated by Helen Stellner and David Hiley, Bernhard Bosse Verlag Regensburg, 2002〕 which is located in Donaustauf in Bavaria. The United States Postal Service honored Einstein with a Prominent Americans series (1965–1978) 8¢ postage stamp. In 2008, Einstein was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Einstein's awards and honors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
