(n) (physics) statistical law obeyed by a system of particles whose wave function is not changed when two particles are interchanged (the Pauli exclusion principle does not apply)
(n) physicist born in Germany who formulated the special theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity; Einstein also proposed that light consists of discrete quantized bundles of energy (later called photons) (1879-1955), Syn. Albert Einstein
(n) someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality, Syn. brain, mastermind, brainiac, Einstein, Example:Mozart was a child genius; he's smart but he's no Einstein
prop. n. [ From physicists S. N. Bose, and Albert Einstein. ] (Physics) A law of statistical mechanics which is obeyed by a system of particles when interchange of two particles does not change the wave function. Contrasted to Fermi-Dirac statistics. See also boson. [ PJC ]
