# The 1905 photoelectric paper is a dated public light-quantum file

Date: 1905

## The fact

In March 1905 Einstein's photoelectric paper was a public light-quantum file. The 1921 Nobel later cited this, not general relativity. Albert Einstein's documented role is: He published a light-quantum account of the photoelectric effect. Annalen der Physik printed; later Nobel cited this, not GR.

## Context

Annalen der Physik is the journal. Sharing print with that journal is required. The setting of The 1905 photoelectric paper is a dated public light-quantum file is the public file around 1905-03-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Contribution type is direct. Driver [industrial-policy-activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

The contribution type is direct. The attached driver is industrial-policy-activism. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

## Significance

Improving path from The 1905 photoelectric paper is a dated public light-quantum file on 1905-03-01. A public quantum paper is an education-and-industrial-method path. The welfare reading on this path is improving.

Shared responsibility is part of The 1905 photoelectric paper is a dated public light-quantum file. Naming Albert Einstein does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1905-03-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of The 1905 photoelectric paper is a dated public light-quantum file under 1905-03-01 for Albert Einstein. Established: a sourced public record of The 1905 photoelectric paper is a dated public light-quantum file under 1905-03-01.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not merge the four 1905 papers. Four instruments. Mixed effects of The 1905 photoelectric paper is a dated public light-quantum file are separate paths.
