Einstein was not always an extremely successful man and he had difficulties that would have prevented anyone else from succeeding, but eventually, several of his theories led to scientific advancements. One theory earned him a Nobel Prize, in physics one a PhD and another helped in the development of nuclear fission. If a person were only to take a quick glance at his life without a deeper investigation, they would find it difficult to discover the catalyst that led to his success. However, with
the 1921 Nobel Prize for physics "for his services to theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of photoelectric effect." The most important year of his life was 1905, when he published four revolutionary articles in 'Annalen der Physik,' the leading physics journal in Europe at that time. Within seven months he published papers in three different fields in physics: "Quantum of light and photoelectric effect" in March, "Brownian motion and atomic theory" in May, "The special
“Get Gritty or Go Home” What would you do if you were offered the position to be the president of a country? When Albert Einstein was presented the position to be the president of Israel, he refused. Einstein shows true grit by using perseverance, passion, and loyalty. Grit is not laying down and letting the world walk all over you, and it is not standing idly by as you watch your life pass you by. Albert Einstein used perseverance, passion and loyalty to overcome obstacles and become the world’s
took an existing body of knowledge, picked and chose the ideas he liked, then wove them into a tale about his contribution to special relativity. This was done with the full knowledge and consent of many of his peers, such as the editors at Annalen der Physik. The most recognisable equation of all time is E = mc2. It is attributed by convention to be the sole province of Albert Einstein (1905). However, the conversion of matter into energy and energy into matter was known to Sir Isaac Newton ("Gross

In the study of a scientist's life, it is important to recognize several key elements. Scientific contributions are of utmost importance. Following mention of those, it is then possible to look at his or her life, family, and religion as well. However, for Albert Einstein, these elements must all be looked at collectively. Einstein will no doubt go down in history as a great theoretical physicist. His work is compared in importance to that of scientists such as Galileo Galilei, Nicolas Copernicus
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the many online personality diagnostic test. Composed of sixteen different personality types, MBTI serves as a resource to identify the personality types of not only contemporary test-takers; MBTI allows us to retroactively assess the personality types of historical characters. Born into a middle class Jewish family in the late 19th century, it would have been difficult to predict that Albert Einstein would so greatly impact 21st century understanding
Einstein is heroic in numerous ways. 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
second son was born on July 28, 1910. Nine years later, Einstein divorced Mileva in order to marry his cousin, Elsa. Elsa and Albert were married in June 1919. In 1905 Einstein published four related papers in the German scientific journal Annalen der Physik (Annals of Physics); one these papers earned him his Ph.D., and another paper on the photoelectrical effect, would earn him the Noble Prize in physics in 1921. His third paper, on mass and energy, laid the groundwork for nuclear fission and
Albert Einstein once said, "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." When discussing Einstein, it is important to realize the struggle he dealt with in terms of having his scientific revelations accepted by others in the field of physics. Einstein's ideas were so remarkably revolutionary that many did not understand the theories being presented. His brilliance remains extremely
Education "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education" -Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Germany to a Jewish couple. While having initial complications with a misshapen head during child birth, he grew normally. However it was commented by Albert Einstein's relatives that he was a little slow. Einstein's lack of intelligent was shown by his late age of learning how to speak. His first formal education (besides the private education he received
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, the first child of the Jewish couple Hermann and Pauline Einstein. In June 1880 the family moved to Munich where Hermann Einstein and his brother Jakob founded the electrical engineering company Einstein & Cie. Albert Einstein's sister Maria was born on November 18, 1881. Einstein's childhood was a normal one, except that to his family's irritation, he learned to speak later than most. In 1884 he received some tutoring in order to get prepared for
the barriers of language and culture. On September 27, 1905 Einstein published a paper called “Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?”. This published paper was the last of four papers he submitted that year to the journal Annalen der Physik. His first paper explained the photoelectric effect, the second offered experimental proof of the existence of atoms, and the third introduced what we know today as the theory of special relativity. The last paper to be published introduced
EVALUATE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF EINSTEIN TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE What is Science? Science is a body of theoretical, empirical, and practical knowledge about the natural world, which are done by prediction of real world problems, observation, and explanation which can be based on experience. According to (Oxford Dictionary, 2015) Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through
Albert Einstein Einstein, Albert (1879-1955), was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He is best known for his theory of relativity, which he first advanced when he was only 26. He also made many other contributions to science. Einstein's relativity theory revolutionized scientific thought with new conceptions of time, space, mass, motion, and gravitation. He treated matter and energy as exchangeable, not distinct. In so doing, he laid the basis for controlling the release of energy
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." "There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein was the first child born to Hermann and Pauline Einstein, Jewish, middle-class Germans, on March 14, 1879 at Ulm, in Wurttemberg, Germany. Albert's sister, Maria, was born in November of 1881. They remained close throughout their lives.Einstein and sister 1 The Einstein
