In the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, there is one unordinary thing. A brain was kept for several years for studies and further research. scientist is finding how the person whom the brain belonged is a genius comparing to other who with his intelligence made the scientific world upside down and laid foundation to most of the important findings today. This is none other than Albert Einstein who was considered the most influential scientist in the 20thcentury. He who inspired a lot of people and supported that every man should be respected. He was one of the greatest and amazing scientists in the world. He experienced a pleasing childhood but faced a difficult education situation and developed a questioning mind during his early years. He successfully dealt with family, professional and religious challenges. He also impacted the scientific world in a number of ways.
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Württemberg Germany in a middle class Jewish family as the first child of Hermann Einstein, a successful entrepreneur and Pauline Einstein. Both of his parents had a long established family roots in southern Germany. After Einstein’s birth his family moved to Munich where his father along with his Uncle founded Elektrotechnische Fab& Cie, a company for the manufacturing of electrical equipments. Einstein’s sister Maja was born one year after their arrival in Munich He was sent to Catholic school at first and then to Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich.Eventhouht he had a pleasing childhood, He was a poor student and had trouble speaking leading everyone to think him as retarded. He also struggled with Prussian education but at the same time was interest in math and science. Both his parents taught Einstein to be self-relia...

Albert Einstein’s discoveries and theories have had a positively enormous effect on the world. Some of Einstein’s biggest impacting discoveries and theories are the theories of Special and General relativity, the Theory of Relativity, Brownian motion, the discovery of the photon, and Einstein’s creation of the equation E = MC^2. Perhaps Einstein’s most beneficial discovery is his formulation of E = MC^2 which is crucial for space-flight and can help today’s scientist in gathering knowledge about our universe.
Einstein became a hero, and the myth building began. Headlines appeared in newspapers all over the world. On November 8, 1919, for example, the London Times had an article headlined: "The Revolution In Science/Einstein Versus Newton." Two days later, The New York Times' headlines read: "Lights All Askew In The Heavens/Men Of Science More Or Less Agog Over Results Of Eclipse Observations/Einstein Theory Triumphs." The planet was exhausted with World War I, eager for some sign of humankind's nobility, and suddenly here was a modest scientific genius, seemingly interested only in pure intellectual pursuits.
Beyond the transcendence of science for which he is most famous, Albert Einstein made great contributions to American society and the world as a whole through his attitude, philosophy, and values. He was a free thinker who regularly challenged assumptions and conventional wisdom, inspiring future generations of scientists and engineers to do the

A hundred years ago, a young married couple sat at a kitchen table talking over the items of the day while their young boy sat listening earnestly. He had heard the debate every night, and while there were no raised voices, their discussion was intense. It was a subject about which his parents were most passionate - the electrodynamics of moving bodies in the universe. The couple were of equal intelligence and fortitude, working together on a theory that few people can comprehend even to this day. Mileva Maric Einstein was considered to be the intellectual equal of her husband Albert, but somehow went unrecognized for her contributions to the 1905 Papers, which included the Special Theory of Relativity. The stronger force of these two bodies would be propelled into the archives of scientific history, while the other would be left to die alone, virtually unknown. Mrs. Einstein was robbed. She deserved to be recognized for at least a collaborative effort, but it was not to be. The role which society had accorded her and plain, bad luck would prove to be responsible for the life of this great mathematician and scientist, gone unnoticed.
Albert Einstein, this man is well known by almost everyone on this planet, he is mainly known for his “Theory of relativity” study and the famous equation “E=mc2.” When Einstein was a boy his teacher initially called him slow and lazy, by the age of 15 one of his teachers said that there was nothing left to teach him. In 1905 he published five amazing scientific papers about:

Einstein: I would have wished that more people had recognized my work. In certain aspects I wish that people could have given me more credit for what I have, and could have done.
Albert Einstein, born on March 14, 1879 is one of the most influential people of the modern era. (Einstein) As a physicist he changed our understanding of the universe. He was very outspoken about the significant political and social issues of his time. As a Jew he advocated a moral role for the Jewish people. Over his scientific career, he was on a mission for the universal and indisputable laws that govern the physical world. Science was Albert Einstein's love, but he always found time to devote many of his efforts to political causes that were close to his heart. He strived for peace, freedom, and social justice. He became an active leader of the international anti-war movement. (Albert Einstein Archives) Einstein died on April 18, 1955. (Einstein)
A few years ago, Time magazine published a special issue entitled "The Century's Greatest Minds." It was the fourth in a Time series on the 100 most influential people of the century, this particular issue focusing on "Scientists and Thinkers." On the cover, Albert Einstein is pictured on a psychiatrist's couch, hands crossed over his chest, a depressed look cloaking his face. Dr. Sigmund Freud, seated in a chair near the couch, pen and pad in hand, is leaning in toward Einstein, excitedly waiting to perform some bit of psychoanalysis on the saddened scientist. A framed picture of Jonas Salk rests on the side table; a portrait of John Maynard Keynes hangs from a nail in the wall. In the background, resting atop a bookshelf, is a stone bust of Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring. She finds herself in quite excellent company not only on the cover, but in the interior of the magazine as well.
