![]() ![]() Newman has continued to make important contributions. In 1965, he discovered the Kerr/Newman electrovacuum, one of the best known of all exact solutions. In 1963, Newman and two coworkers discovered the NUT vacuum, an exact vacuum solution to the Einstein field equation which has become a famous counterexample to everything. In 1962, together with Roger Penrose, he introduced the powerful Newman/Penrose formalism for working with spinorial quantities in general relativity. He was a prominent contributor to the golden age of general relativity (roughly 1960-1975). Ezra Newman is professor emeritus at the University of Pittsburgh. He developed the special and general theories of relativity and won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. Generally considered one of the most influential physicists in history, Albert Einstein’s (1879–1955) groundbreaking theories reshaped the scientific community’s view and understanding of the universe. ![]()
