Sociological perspective redirects here. For the journal, see Sociological Perspectives (journal). The term sociological imagination was coined by the American sociologist C.

The term is used in introductory textbooks in sociology to explain the nature of sociology and its relevance in daily life.
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist and the most famous scientist in human history. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics, alongside quantum mechanics. He is perhaps best known in popular culture for his mass/energy equivalence formula E=mc2.
Albert Einstein's great-great-grandfather, LÃ¶b Moses Sontheimer (1745â1831), was also the grandfather of the prominent tenor Heinrich Sontheim (1820â1912) of Stuttgart. Albert's three children were from his relationship with his first wife, Mileva MariÄ, his daughter Lieserl being born a year before they married.
