2. Albert Einstein is known as the father of science. He
changed the way people saw and thought about
science. Elbert Einstein was a gifted human being.
He had a sophisticated mind and was always
devoted to his work of science.
His capability to believe that gravity, light, energy
and matter were connected with each and he had
evidence to prove that his studies on these matters
were correct. Einstein created many theories on
these complex matters as well.
4. Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879
and grew up in Munich. He wasn’t an academically
far reaching student at school and only did things
he was interested in, like science and mathematics.
At a very early age young Albert started wondering
about the mysteries of the universe. He was
amazed by the way our world operated. He had
many questions that he could ask, but there was no
one to answer them for him, that is also what got
Einstein interested in science and mathematics, the
simple need to answering his curiosity.
6. After school Albert went to Switzerland and
tried to become a teacher there in maths and
science, except failed to find a job. Giving up on
teaching, he went to work at the Swiss patent
office in Bern where he occupied himself in
studying what other people had invented
already. This way Albert was now being more
exposed to the world of science.
8. In Switzerland, on the January 6th of 1903
Albert got married with Mileva Maric. He had
three children with his first wife, a daughter
Lieser and two sons, Hans Albert and Eduard
Albert. They then got divorced in 1919 because
Albert had left for Berlin and had not returned
or spoken to his wife for five years by the time
they got there divorce. Albert then went back to
Berlin where he married his cousin Elsa, except
she died very quickly after their marriage.
10. He lived in Berlin for a long time and there he developed many
of his scientific theories.
Photoelectric Effect is one of Einstein famous theories. t's been
determined experimentally that when light shines on a metal
surface, the surface emits electrons, which means electricity is
being made.
Brownian motion is also another one of Albert’s theories. The
Brownian motion is the random movement of microscopic
particles suspended in a liquid or gas, caused by collisions with
molecules of the surrounding medium.
Special Relativity is another one of Albert’s theories. This theory
involves physics which means at what speed objects travel at.
This is a theory that has been most commonly heard of, that is
E=mc square. It is the most famous theory ever heard. It is an
equation by Albert Einstein showing that energy and mass are
interchangeable.
12. In 1921 he received the Nobel Prize for Physics.
In the meantime things were starting to change in Germany. Einstein
was against the Nazis and their ideas of controlling the world and
killing Jews. The Nazis, in return, hated him and his theories and they
burned most of his books. That’s why we still don’t have all of the
books Albert had published.
Albert left Germany and went to United States when the World War II
broke out. He also discovered that the Germany scientists were
working on building an atomic bomb. He then immediately informed
the American president.
In 1941 the American government started the Manhattan project
which led to the construction of the atomic bomb. Two of these
bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end the war
against Japan. Einstein was horrified when he heard the news. He
wanted the world to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes.
15. For the last twenty years of his life, Einstein lived
in Princeton where he continued his scientific
work.
Three years before his death an element was
named after him, Einsteinium was the name of
this element dedicated to Albert Einstein for his
contribution to the world science.
The death of this great scientist was on the April
18, 1955.
