Local hidden-variable theoryRelated: Einstein objected to quantum theory's apparent nonlocality and helped frame the completeness debate.
Mach's principleRelated: Einstein drew inspiration from Mach while developing general relativity, though their views later diverged.
Albert A. MichelsonRelated: Einstein’s 1905 theory made the null aether-drift result newly significant, though its influence on him is debated.

Joseph WeberRelated: Einstein’s equations supplied the theoretical basis for gravitational waves.
Principle of relativityRelated: He used the relativity principle to formulate special relativity and later broaden it for gravity.
Prussian Academy of SciencesRelated: Einstein joined the academy in 1913 and worked in Berlin as its research institution expanded.
