BIOGRAPHY ABOUT ALBERT

EINSTEIN

MANY SCIENTISTS HAVE CONTRIBUTED

TO CHANGE THE WORLD WITH THEIR
GREAT INVENTIONS AND INNOVATIONS.
ONE OF THEM ALBERT EINSTEIN.
ALBERT EINSTEIN, IS A THEORETICAL
PHYSICIST, INVENTOR AND
RESEARCHER.HE WAS BORN MARCH 14,
1879 IN ULM (WÜRTTEMBERG, GERMAN
EMPIRE) AND DIED APRIL 18, 1955 IN
PRINCETON (NEW JERSEY, UNITED
STATES), IS A THEORETICAL PHYSICIST.
HER FATHER HERMANN EINSTEIN, BORN
AUGUST 30, 1847 IN BUCHAU, DIED
OCTOBER 10, 1902 IN MILAN. HE IS AN
ENTREPRENEUR, HER MATHER PAULINE
KOCH, WAS OF A MORE SERIOUS AND
ARTISTIC NATURE, WITH A DELICATE NOTE
OF HUMOR. SHE LOVED PLAYING THE
PIANO. HE WENT TO CATHOLIC
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN MUNICH FROM
THE AGE OF FIVE. WHEN HE WAS EIGHT, HE
WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE LUITPOLD-
GYMNASIUM (NOW KNOWN AS THE
ALBERT-EINSTEIN-GYMNASIUM) WHERE
HE RECEIVED ADVANCED PRIMARY AND
THEN SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION.
AFTER HIS STUDIES AT THE GYMNASIUM,
HE LEFT GERMANY TO TAKE HIS
ENTRANCE EXAM AT THE SWISS FEDERAL
POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL AND WHAT HE
FEARED MOST SINCE HIS DEPARTURE
FROM MUNICH HAPPENED: HE FAILED HIS
ENTRANCE EXAM BECAUSE LET'S NOT
FORGET THAT ALBERT WAS GIFTED IN
MATHEMATICS BUT (LET'S SAY IT)
COMPLETELY USELESS IN MODERN
LANGUAGES AND THE NATURAL SCIENCES
(ZOOLOGY AND BOTANY). HOWEVER, THE
DIRECTOR OF THE POLYTECHNICUM HAD
BEEN STRUCK BY EINSTEIN'S
MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE, AND
ENCOURAGED HIM TO OBTAIN THE
REQUIRED DIPLOMA IN A SWISS SCHOOL:
THE CANTONAL SCHOOL IN THE SMALL
TOWN OF AARAU. AFTER HIS STUDIES,
EINSTEIN LOOKED FOR A JOB IN HIS FIELD
BUT IN VAIN, HE HAD TO SETTLE FOR A
JOB AS A PATENT AGENT IN AN OFFICE
(THE JOB WAS AS RARE AS IT IS TODAY).
HIS TASK WAS TO MAKE A FIRST
EXAMINATION OF THE INVENTIONS
BROUGHT.
EINSTEIN PUBLISHED FOUR REMARKABLE
PAPERS DURING HIS "MIRACLE YEAR" IN
1905, WHILE WORKING AT A SWISS PATENT
OFFICE:

IN HIS FIRST PAPER, EINSTEIN APPLIED

GERMAN PHYSICIST MAX PLANCK'S
QUANTUM THEORY TO LIGHT TO EXPLAIN
THE PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT. HE
RECEIVED THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR THIS
WORK IN 1921.

HIS SECOND PAPER USED BROWNIAN

MOTION, OR THE MOTION OF TINY
PARTICLES SUSPENDED IN A LIQUID, TO
SHARE THE FIRST EXPERIMENTAL PROOF
OF THE EXISTENCE OF ATOMS,
ACCORDING TO BRITANNICA.

HIS THIRD ARTICLE, “ON THE

ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES,”
PRESENTED EINSTEIN’S SPECIAL THEORY
OF RELATIVITY.

HIS FOURTH ARTICLE LED TO THE

DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOST
RECOGNIZED EQUATION IN SCIENCE: E =
MC2.
IN 1915, HE PUBLISHED HIS THEORY OF
GENERAL RELATIVITY, THE FIRST THEORY
OF GRAVITY SINCE THE PUBLICATION OF
SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S "PRINCIPIA" IN 1687.
NEWTON'S WORK ESTABLISHED GRAVITY
AS BOTH A CONCEPT AND A UNIVERSAL
LAW, ASSERTING THAT GRAVITY IS A
CONSTANT. FORCE THAT PULLS ON
OBJECTS. THE TUG WILL BE STRONGER IF
THE OBJECT HAS MORE MASS AND
WEAKER IF YOU INCREASE THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS.
EINSTEIN'S THEORY, WHICH HE
DISCOVERED WHILE DIRECTOR OF THE
KAISER WILHELM INSTITUTE FOR PHYSICS
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN,
ADDRESSED THE EXPLANATION OF
GRAVITY. HIS THEORY OF GENERAL
RELATIVITY STATES THAT GRAVITY IS A
NATURAL CONSEQUENCE OF THE
EXISTENCE OF MASS IN SPACE – THIS
MASS CAN BEND SPACE AND TIME.
NEWTON DID NOT BELIEVE THAT OBJECTS
AFFECTED SPACE, WRITES THE AMERICAN
MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, BUT
EINSTEIN DID, AND EVEN DISTINGUISHED
A FOURTH DIMENSION KNOWN AS SPACE-
TIME IN HIS THEORY OF SPECIAL
RELATIVITY. 1905.

EINSTEIN ALSO PREDICTED THE

EXISTENCE OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVES IN
HIS THEORY OF RELATIVITY. INSTEAD OF
THINKING OF GRAVITY AS A CONSTANT,
IMMEDIATE FORCE, EINSTEIN PROPOSED
THAT A LARGE CHANGE IN MASS WOULD
CAUSE SPACE TO BE COMPRESSED AND
STRETCHED SLIGHTLY.
EINSTEIN'S FINAL WORK, LEFT
UNFINISHED WHEN HE DIED, WAS ON
UNIFIED FIELD THEORY, WHICH USES A
SINGLE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK TO
DESCRIBE FUNDAMENTAL FORCES AND
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ELEMENTARY
PARTICLES, ACCORDING TO BRITANNICA.
FINALLY, ALBERT EINSTEIN IS A GREAT
A SCHOLAR THAT CHANGED WITH HER
INVENTION
