Birth :March 14, 1879Birth :March 14, 1879
• Albert Einstein was born in
Ulm, Germany

1884
• Einstein saw a wonder when
he was four or five years
old: a magnetic compass.
• The needle's northward
swing, guided by an
invisible force, impressed
him.
• The compass convinced him
that there had to be
"something behind things,
something deeply hidden."

Albert - as a Student
• Einstein knew, from then
on, that he wanted to
teach math and Science at
a University someday.
• The problem was, he
wasn’t a very good test-
taker and could not get a
job at a University
because of it.
• Rumor has it that he had
even failed a Math test,
but some people question
that because of the way
grades were assigned
back then.

1905
• Albert Einstein
develops his Special
Theory of Relativity.
• He did this while
working as a Patent
Clerk in Germany.
• He wasn’t really even
a scientist at the time.

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
• Relative to who is
watching, space
and time are
transformed near
the speed of light:
distances appear to
stretch; and clocks
tick more slowly

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
• Einstein’s theory meant
that Newton’s Laws
needed to be modified.
• Space and time are not
absolute - and the
universe we live in is not
actually the one Newton
"discovered.

Einstein in 1905
• Einstein uses the idea
that light exists as tiny
packets, or particles, that
we now call photons.
•
• His work anchors the
most shocking idea in
twentieth century
science: we live in a
universe built out of tiny
bits of energy and matter.

Einstein in 1905
• Next, in April and May, Einstein
publishes two papers.
• In one he invents a new method of
counting and determining the size of the
atoms or molecules in a given space.
• In the other he explains the phenomenon
of Brownian motion.
• The net result is a proof that atoms
actually exist - still an issue at that time.

Einstein in 1905
• And then, in June,
Einstein completes
special relativity - which
adds a twist to the story:
special relativity sees
light as particles and a
continuous field of
waves.

Einstein IN 1905
• And of course, Einstein isn't
finished. Later in 1905 comes
the most famous relationship
in physics: e=mc2
.
• The energy content of a body
is equal to the mass of the
body times the speed of light
squared.
• At first, even Einstein does not
understand the full
implications of his formula. 2

• In 1907, Einstein
begins to apply the
laws of gravity to his
Special Theory of
Relativity.
• In 1911, he finally gets
a job as a Professor of
Physics at the
German University.
Einstein IN 1907

1910-1913
• In 1910, Einstein
addressed a basic
question: "Why is the sky
blue?" He approached the
problem by looking at the
effect of the scattering of
light by individual
molecules in the
atmosphere.
• In 1913, Einstein begins
work on his new Theory of
Gravity.

1933
• Einstein and his
wife, Elsa,
escape Nazi
Germany and set
sail for the
United States.

1939
• World War II
begins.
• Einstein writes a
now famous letter
to President
Franklin D.
Roosevelt urging
nuclear research
and warning him of
Germany’s building
of an atomic bomb.

April 18, 1955
• Albert
Einstein
dies of
Heart
Failure.
• This is a
picture of
his last
blackboard.

Famous Einstein Quotes
• "Anyone who has never made a
mistake has never tried anything
new."
• "If A equals success, then the
formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is work. Y
is play. Z is keep your mouth
shut." www.makemegenius.com
