Albert Einsteins biography.

Today we tell about a scientist who changes the way we understand the
universe , a pacifists but the genius behind the atomic bomb ..Albert
Einstein.
A.E. was born in Ulm Germany in 1879.
His father owned a factory that made electrical devices.
His mother enjoyed music and books
His parents were Jewish, but they didnt observe many of religions rules.
Albert was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone.
He was a slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.
When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass, this wonder
was filled to the child, and it was wake up the imagination to Albert. And he
spent a lot time thinking about it, he said later that he felt something hidden
had to be behind things.
Albert didnt like the school, one history says Albert told his uncle Jacob how
much he hated the school specially mathematics; his uncle told him to solve
mathematical problems by pretending to be a policeman.
You are looking for someone he said but you dont know who call him X,
find him by using the mathematical tools of algebra and geometry.
Since time Albert learned to love mathematics.
Albert wanted teach mathematics and physics so he attended the Federal
Polytechnic Institute in Zurich Switzerland. He graduated whit honors couldnt
get a teaching job.
So he began working for the Swiss government as an inspector of patens for
new inventions; the job wasnt demanding, he had a lot time to think about
some of his scientist theories.
By 1905 he had formed his ideas into theories that he published in a Germans
paper.
That theories are summarized as follows.
1. The light travels both in waves and in particles, called photons. This is
the main idea of Quantum theory.
2. In another paper was about the motion of small particles suspended in a
liquid or gas. It confirmed the Atomic theory of matter.
3. The most important of A.E.s theories published this year was known as
Special theory of relativity; he said the speed of the light is always the
same almost 3000000 kilometer a second. And this speed not change.

However he said time can change, and mass can change and length can
change, but the speed of light cant change.
Ten years after A.E. finished work on another theory, it describe what he called
General Theory of relativity.
This theory offered new ideas about gravity and the close relationship between
matter and energy, Einstein said that an object lose mass when gives of speed
light, which is a kid of energy.
He believe that matter and energy were different forms of the same thing.
That is the basis of his famous statement E=MC2 energy equal to mass times
speed light squared,
This statement or formula explained that a great amount of energy could come
from small piece of matter, it explained how the sun could give of heat and
light for millions of years, this formula also lead to the discovery of atomic
energy.
He also said that the gravity o very large objects such as the stars could turn
the path of light waves that passed nearby, this seemed unbelievable but in
1919 British scientists confirmed his theory, when the sun was completely
blocked during a solar eclipse.
A.E. immediately became famous around the world.
In 1926 he won the Nobel Prize in physics that prize was given to him not for
his theories of relativity else for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric
effect..
A.E. left Germany when Adolph Hitler come to the power in1933, he moved to
U.S.A. Where continue his research in the Princeton Institute in New Jersey.
A.E. spent the last 25 years of his life working on he called unified Field
Theory, he hopped to find a common theory could tie together all the different
parts of physics. He didnt succeed
Albert had an unkempt appearance whit his wild and white hair and he was
used wore clothes.
A inner enjoy was to play the violin.
A.E. died in1955 and his last words it said in German and the Nurse that was
whit he , she didnt understand it.
