THE GENIUS

Some people are smarter than just about everyone else. Wehave a word for such a person. We call him or her a genius. Therehas never been a more famous genius than Albert Einstein.

Einstein was a great scientist, but, most of all, he was a greatthinker. The way he thought changed the way that all scientists(and all of us!) think about the world.

Albert Einstein fue uno de los hombres

ms inteligentes de la historia.

Albert Einstein was one of the

smartest people who ever lived.

EL GENIOHay quienes tienen una inteligencia superior a la mayora. A

esas personas las llamamos genios. No ha habido en la historiaun genio ms famoso que Albert Einstein.

Einstein fue un gran cientfico, pero sobre todo fue un granpensador. Sus ideas cambiaron la forma en que todos loscientficos (y la gente como t y como yo) pensaban acercadel mundo.

family moved to the bigger city of Munich. His father was namedHermann, and his mother was named Pauline.

THE COMPASSWhen Albert was five years old, his father showed him a

compass. No matter which way Albert moved the compass, theneedle would always point to the north. Albert was amazed by this.

His father explained that the needle always pointed north

because of a force called magnetism. It was as if the North Polewas a magnet, making the needle point in that direction. Albertwondered about this powerful force, something that couldnt beseen. It was just the beginning of Alberts interest in science.

LA BRJULA

Cuando Albert tena cinco aos, su pap le mostr unabrjula. No importaba en que direccin Albert la moviera, la agujasiempre apuntaba hacia el norte. Albert se qued asombrado.

Su padre le explic que la aguja siempre apuntaba hacia elnorte debido a un fuerza llamada magnetismo. Era como si el polo

norte fuera un imn que atraa la aguja en esa direccin. Albert semaravill con esa fuerza poderosa que no poda ser vista. Fue elcomienzo de su inters en la ciencia.

AN AVERAGE STUDENT

Though we now consider Albert one of the smartest people whoever lived, some of his teachers thought he wasnt a very smart

boy at all. It took him longer to learn to talk than most children.When he did talk, he had trouble putting his thoughts into words.

11

De adulto, Einstein no era una

persona comn.

As an adult, Einstein

was far from average.

UN ESTUDIANTE PROMEDIO

A pesar de que en la actualidad consideramos a Albert Einsteincomo una de las personas ms inteligentes de la historia, susmaestros pensaban que l no era nada inteligente. Le tom mstiempo hablar que a la mayora de los nios, y cuando lo hizo,tena dificultades para expresar sus ideas.


13/25

Young Einstein also had problems with his memory. He wouldread things over and over without remembering what he had justread. He was best with numbers, but he sometimes madecareless mistakes because he was trying to add or subtracttoo quickly.

En 1999, la revista Timenombra Einstein "El hombre del siglo".

Timemagazine named EinsteinPerson of the Century in 1999.

12

El pequeo Einstein tambin tena problemas de memoria. Leaun texto una y otra vez sin recordar lo que haba ledo. Era buenoen matemticas y sin embargo, muchas veces cometa errores

tontos porque trataba de sumar y restar demasiado rpido.

Albert Einstein often took time out

from his work to enjoy sailing.

AN IMPORTANT TEST

When he was 16, Albert took an important test. Those whopassed would be allowed to continue their education and become

electrical engineers. This was a good job, but Albert failed the test!He continued to study mathematics and science.

UN EXAMEN IMPORTANTE

A la edad de 17 aos, Albert tom un examen importante. A

aquellos que lo aprobaban les era permitido continuar losestudios para llegar a ser ingenieros elctricos. Era una excelenteoportunidad, pero Albert suspendi el examen! Continuestudiando matemticas y ciencia.

ITS ALL RELATIVE

After graduating from college in 1900, Albert spent much of histime with scientific experiments. In 1905, he wrote three papers

that changed the scientific field of physics. One of theseintroduced his special theory of relativity.

19Einstein demuestra sus teoras. Einstein demonstrates his theories.

Einstein showed how different things relate to each other, suchas matter and energy, or time and space. In 1915, he finished apaper that applied his theory to how gravity works in the entire

universe. He called this his general theory of relativity.

Einstein mostr cmo las diferentes cosas se relacionabanentre s: la materia y la energa, el tiempo y el espacio. En 1915,termin un artculo que aplicaba su teora a la forma en que lagravedad funciona en todo el universo. La llam teora generalde la relatividad.

to help explain how the universe worked. When Einstein died onApril 18, 1955, he was considered by many the greatest geniuswho had ever lived.
