Of all the scientists to emerge from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries there is one whose name is known by almost all living people. While most of these do not understand this mans work, everyone knows that his impact on the world is astonishing.
Yes, many people have heard of Albert Einsteins General Theory of Relativity, but few people know about the intriguing life that led this scientist to discover what some have called The Greatest Single achievement of human thought!
JB: So here with us today is Alert Einstein, So Albert... do you mind me asking you to tell us a little about your childhood?
Einstein: No not at all, lets see here... I was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14th of 1874. I was raised mostly in Munich, Germany. One very odd thing that my mother told me was that I didn't speak until I was three years old. My father owned a small electrochemical shop, once it failed in 1890 then my dad moved us to Million, Italy.
JB: I understand that in you're attempt to attend Princeton you failed the entrance exam, then once you studied you attended anther school instead. what was that all about? Can you tell us?
Einstein: Um. O.K. Yes, as a matter of fact I did fail the Mathematical Portion of the exam. I found anther college near by, I attempted to attend I was accepted. This new place was named the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. This new college was located in Zurich, Italy. In 1896 I started my freshman year of college. Even though I commonly missed classes due to me testing theories, and such. I passed all my examinations with the reviewing of my friends' notes; thus I graduated in 1900
JB: According to my sources you became a naturalized Swiss citizen in 1901. Can you tell us why you became a N...

...nks. I promoted non-patriotic, non-competitive education, believing that it would prevent a war from happening in the future. And it did. I also believed that socialism would help the world achieve peace.
JB: Albert
Do you think that you could tell the audience what you may have wanted to change about your death? If anything
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.
I believe that all scientists are very important in the past, and the present. But all scientists are all very important to our society. And I would encourage you to do your very best, and don't give up your dreams because someone said it isn't possible. That would be even more reason to prove them wrong. I'm closing the show with that statement. Goodbye America
As a child, Einstein was a little out of the ordinary, not quite interested in the typical activities that other children enjoyed, Albert instead was fascinated by music, the sciences, and mathematics. He loved to play his violin, and even taught himself Euclidean Geometry. Unfortunately, as Einstein’s talents and brilliance became more obvious, he began to despise his schools teachings as they subjugated his creativity and genius. Einstein ended up dropping out of school in 1894 at the age of 15. His family’s business had hit the point of bankruptcy and could no longer remain open, so the family decided to shut it down and move to Switzerland. Albert Einstein followed his family and resumed his schooling once again when they arrived.
"Do you remember how electrical currents and 'unseen waves' were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy." - Albert Einstein
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.
Throughout Albert Einstein’s lifetime he accomplished many amazing things that have an effect on people today. For example, in 1905, “often called as Einstein’s “miracle year”, he published four papers in the Annalen der Physik, each of which would alter the course of modern physics” (Michio,Kaku 13). Throughout Einstein’s four books, he “applied the quantum theory to light in order to explain the photoelectric effect, offered the first experimental proof of the existence of atoms, laid out the mathematical theory of special relativity, and proved the first mechanism to explain the energy source of the Sun and other stars”(13). Throughout 1905-1915 Einstein began to realize that his theory for relativity was flawed, because “it made no mention of gravitation or acceleration” (19). “In November of 1915, Einstein finally completed the general theory of reality” (20); “in 1921 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics” (Belanger, Craig. 1).
The Famous and Brilliant, Albert Einstein, was born in Germany in 1879. Einstein was born into a Jewish family, and grew up in Munich, Germany, where his father and uncle collectively ran a company that produced electrical equipment. Later in his childhood, Einstein’s family moved to Italy, then to Switzerland not long after. In 1896, Einstein renounced his German citizenship so that he would be able to avoid the Obligatory military service.
...ysics.” Although he did possess some personal qualities and knowledge that enabled him to look at things differently and allowed him to answer many difficult questions in the 20th century, without any help from other scientists modern physics would look very different from what it looks like right now. His views and ideas had to conform with previously established principles, had to be logically valid and had to go through a review process before being accepted as a part of the discipline of physics. This shows how strong personal knowledge led to advances in an area of knowledge and in shared knowledge.
Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Wurttemberg, Germany, the son of Hermann and Paulina Koch Einstein. When Einstein was 5 years old, his father showed him a pocket compass. The little bo...
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. His parents were Hermann and Pauline Einstein. He was born with an unusually large head and his parents were afraid that he would be mildly retarded. As it turned out, Albert was slow in learning how to speak. When Albert was older he said that he did not talk very much as a child because he wanted to speak in complete sentences.
...vercome, there is more of a chance to capture such great discoveries. People need to realize that if they never take the time to stop and look around, appreciate the small things in life, they might miss out on important details and or moments that the world has to offer. Scientist didn’t obtain their greatest discoveries by looking at the world with a closed mind. During the months of September through Novemeber, the leaves start to fall off the trees. It is obvious its fall, but what else is occurring? Gravity. Albert Einstein discovered gravity by watching and ordinary object fall. At that moment he became a scientific unscrupulous observer.
Einstein’s education was unconventional for a person who was to become a success. Early on, he was failing a large number of his courses; and he transferred from a German school at age fifteen to a Swiss school, so that he could avoid compulsive military service in the German armed forces. By the age of sixteen, he officially became a school dropout. His grade school principle made the statement to his parents, “it didn’t matter what profession the boy prepared for because he wo...
Albert Einstein changed the way we think about science and physics. He made alot of important discovery's that scientsists still use to this day. He was astonishly brilliant, and was known as the smartest men alive. Some of his research is still used in science. Very few have solved Einstein's riddle and maybe that's not such a bad thing.
Einstein was born on March 14, 1879. He moved to Switzerland to go to college at the Federal Polytechnic School to teach Physics and Math. Out of college, he tried a few times to get a job teaching, but he was denied! He went back to school to get his doctorate while working as a technical assistant at the Swiss Patent Office. In his spare time at work, he developed some of the equations that he later published. After recognizing his talent, Polytechnic offered him a job as a Physics teacher. Einstein traveled to a few different (where) pi...
In order to be admitted to study in Zurich, Einstein took his entrance examination in October 1895 but didn't do well enough and was forced to enroll at some substandard schools in the area. He continued his education and left school early to work.
Born on March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein is considered to be one of the greatest physicist and mathematician to date. He grew up in a life of poverty in Munich, Germany, with his parents Pauline and Hermann Einstein. He was unable to communicate with ease until later in his life. However, Einstein continued with his education, starting at age 6 in 1885. In 1894, his family had relocated to Italy, because of his father’s failed business. By 16 had discovered his love of geometry and its clear, certain proofs, and had mastered calculus, which he used later for physics problems. At this age, he had ideas of the implications of what could be done with waves of light, which would later influence his theory of relativity (Johnshepler). This is where,
The most well-known historical scientist is Albert Einstein. He made average folks look at math, space, and time in a whole different perspective. Einstein had many great inventions and discoveries. In 1905, he came out with the Theory of Relativity, which explains that the speed of light is the same no matter how fast the observer travels. (Redd) One of his famous quotes state: “I am thankful for all those who told me no, because of them I was able to do it myself “. This quote shows what a dedicated scientist he was and what he was able to accomplish through his determination.
