Albert Einstein- A Father of Modern Physics



Biography of Albert Einstein



Albert Einstein is a world-renowned scientist and theoretical physicist. He developed the general theory of relativity. His name is also famous for influencing the philosophy of science. He has the highest name in the world for the mass-energy equation formula E = MC square, it is the most famous equation in the world. Albert Einstein did many inventions in his life, for some inventions Einstein's name got recorded in the pages of history. He was a successful and very intelligent scientist. In modern times, he has contributed a lot in simplifying physics. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for his inventions. Albert Einstein achieved this position by working hard. He is recognized as one of the most important physicists and mathematicians of the 21st century, which is inspiring for people.

 

Albert Einstein Educational Background -

Albert Einstein was born on 14 March 1879 in Ulm, Germany. But In 1880, his family moved to Munich, Germany, and his education also started from here. At the age of five, Einstein started his schooling at the Catholic Elementary School. He was very weak in his childhood and a few of his teachers started calling him mentally challenged. He didn’t know to speak until he was 9 years old. He was fascinated by the rule of nature, his father gave the young Einstein a compass. The first thing he questioned was why the needle always pointed north direction on the compass. He started playing the Sarangi at the age of 6 and continued to play it in his entire life. At the age of 12, he discovered geometry and found his caution and some evidence. At the age of 16, he used to solve the most difficult problems of mathematics very easily.

Albert Einstein's secondary studies had ended by the age of 16. He didn’t like school and started planning to find an opportunity to go to university without bothering anyone. His teacher removed him from there because his behaviour wasn’t good, due to which his classmates were affected. Albert Einstein tried to go to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, but he failed the admission test there. Then his professor advised that first of all he should do a diploma in 'Cantonal School' in Aargau, Switzerland. After that, in the year 1896, you’ll get admission automatically in the Federal Institute of Technology.

In 1900, Einstein passed his graduation exam from the Federal Institute of Technology, but one in all of his teachers was against him, saying that Einstein wasn’t eligible for the University of Christian Assistantship. In 1902, he hired an inspector at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern, Switzerland.  He received his doctorate degree in 1905 and wrote his first revolutionary science-related document.

 

Einstein Married Life

 

Einstein and Mileva Maric (she was his classmate in Zurich) married in the January of 1903. They were parents to three lovely children. But the marriage didn’t last long and the couple got divorced in 1919. Einstein got married for the second time to the lady named Elsa in the same year. Elsa died in 1936, at the age of 76, after suffering from the heart and kidney problems.

Albert Einstein wrote many documents and he became famous with these documents. He had to work hard at university for the job. After the lecturer's job at Bern University in 1909, Einstein gave his name to associate prof at Zurich's University. In1911, he was elected to the professorship at the German University in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Also, he became a professor in the Federal Institute of Technology within 6 months. In 1913, noted scientists Max Planck and Walther Nernst Zurich came and encouraged Einstein to be a beneficial research professor at the University of Berlin in Germany and he also gave full membership of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Einstein accepted this opportunity. When he moved to Berlin, his wife was living in Zurich together with her two children and that they divorced.

In 1920, Einstein was elected to the honourable professorship over the lifetime at Leiden University in Holland. After this, he also received many awards. After this, his career reached a new stage. At this point Einstein departed at the California Institute of Technology, his last trip to the United States. He went there in 1933.

 

In 1939, World War II broke out, which only ended in the year 1945. Einstein’s theories were applied to create the atomic bomb by America during this war. In 1945, Einstein invented his famous equation E = MC square. By 1954, Einstein had written more than 300 scientific works. His theories are still used to study the universe and its laws.


Einstein Death

Einstein also had internal bleeding for which he refused to get surgery. He died on April 18, 1955. The same year, an element called ‘Einsteinium’ was included in the periodic table. In 1999, Einstein was named as the ‘Person of the Century’ by Time magazine. The USA issued Einstein stamps as a tribute to the brilliant scientist.

 

Albert Einstein Inventions

 

Albert Einstein did many inventions that his name came to be counted among the famous scientists. A number of inventions are as follows -

 

Quantum Theory of Light - In Einstein's shared his research on the nature of light, and how it is created because of small particles called photons that has a wave-like feature. In his theory, he explained the emission of electrons from some metals. He created the photo electric effect. After this theory, he invented television, which is shown through visual science. Nowadays, many such devices have been invented.

E = MC square - Einstein proved an equation between mass and energy, today it is called nuclear energy.

Brownian Movement - This can be said to be Albert Einstein's largest and best search, where he observed the zigzag movement in the suspension of atoms, which is helpful in the proof of the existence of molecules and atoms.

Special Theory of Relativity - In this theory of Albert Einstein, the relation of time and speed is explained. In the universe, the speed of light is said to be constant and according to the law of nature.

General Theory of Relativity - Albert Einstein proposed that gravitational space-time is the curve field in the continent, which denotes the mass.

Manhatam Project - Albert Einstein created the Manhatam Project, research that supports The United States, he proposed the atomic bomb in 1945. He then taught the destruction of the atomic bomb in Japan during the World War II.

Einstein's Refrigerator - This was Albert Einstein's smallest invention, for which he became famous. Einstein invented a refrigerator in which ammonia, water, and butane could use more energy. He invented this refrigerator keeping many features in it.

The sky is blue - This is often an awfully simple proof that why the sky is blue, but Albert Einstein offered many arguments on this as well.

In this way, Albert Einstein did many inventions for which his name became famous in history.
