Albert EinsteinBy

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.

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.

As a Child

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.

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.

His First and Second wife

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.

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.

Atomic Bomb

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.
