- Heinrich Burkhardt Heinrich Friedrich Karl Ludwig Burkhardt was a German mathematician. He famously was one of the examiners of Albert Einstein's PhD thesis. Of Einstein's thesis he stated: "The mode of treatment demonstrates fundamental mastery of the relevant mathematical methods" and "What I checked, I found to be correct without exception."
- Hermann Einstein Hermann Einstein was born in Buchau, Württemberg to his parents Abraham Einstein (1808–1868) and Helene Moos (1814–1887), who had married in Buchau in April 1839. The family were German Jews. He had three brothers (August Ignaz, Heinrich and Jakob) and two sisters (Jette and Friederike)
- History of gravitational theory In physics, theories of gravitation postulate mechanisms of interaction governing the movements of bodies with mass. There have been numerous theories of gravitation since ancient times
- Introduction to special relativity In physics, special relativity is a fundamental theory about space and time, developed by Albert Einstein in 1905 as a modification of Galilean relativity. It was able to explain some pressing theoretical and experimental issues in the physics of the late 19th century involving light and electrodynamics, such as the failure of the 1887 Michelson–

- Relativity priority dispute Albert Einstein presented the theories of Special Relativity and General Relativity in groundbreaking publications that did not include references to the work of others
- Sticky bead argument In general relativity, the sticky bead argument is a simple thought experiment designed to show that gravitational radiation is indeed predicted by general relativity, and can have physical effects. These claims were not widely accepted prior to about 1955, but after the introduction of the bead argument, any remaining doubts soon disappeared from
