ALBERT EINSTEIN

German-born physicist Albert Einstein developed the special and general theories
of relativity. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the
Photoelectric effect. Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of the
20th century.

EARLY LIFE & FAMILY BACKGROUND

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany.
Einstein grew up in a secular Jewish family. His father, Hermann Einstein, was a
salesman and engineer who, with his brother, founded Elektrotechnische Fabrik J.
Einstein & Cie, a Munich-based company that mass-produced electrical equipment.

Albert’s mother, the former Pauline Koch, ran the family household. Einstein had
one sister, Maja, born two years after him.

Einstein attended elementary school at the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich.

However, he felt alienated there and struggled with the institution's rigid pedagogical
style.

Towards the end of the 1880s, Max Talmud, a Polish medical student who
sometimes dined with the Einstein family, became an informal tutor to young Albert.
Talmud had introduced his pupil to a children’s science text that inspired Einstein to
dream about the nature of light.

Thus, during his teens, Einstein penned what would be seen as his first major
paper, "The Investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic Fields."

Hermann Einstein relocated the family to Milan, Italy, in the mid-1890s after his
business lost out on a major contract. Albert was left at a relative's boarding house in
Munich to complete his schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium.

Einstein was eventually able to gain admission into the Technology in Zurich,
specifically due to his superb mathematics and physics scores on the entrance exam.

Einstein eventually found steady work in 1902 after receiving a referral for a
clerk position in a Swiss patent office. While working at the patent office, Einstein had
the time to further explore ideas that had taken hold during his studies at the Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology and thus cemented his theorems on what would be
known as the principle of relativity.

In 1905—seen by many as a "miracle year" for the theorist—Einstein had four

papers published in the Annalen der Physik, one of the best known physics journals of
the era. Two focused on the photoelectric effect and Brownian motion. The two others,
which outlined E=MC2 and the special theory of relativity, were defining for Einstein’s
career and the course of the study of physics.

In 1921, Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the
photoelectric effect, since his ideas on relativity were still considered questionable. He
wasn't actually given the award until the following year due to a bureaucratic ruling,
and during his acceptance speech, he still opted to speak about relativity.

CONTRIBUTIONS

Quantum Theory of Light

Einstein’s quantum theory of light proposed that light is composed of small
packets of energy called photons that have wave-like properties. In this theory he also
explained the emission of electrons from some metals they’re struck by lightning – this
was called the photoelectric effect.

E=mc2
He demonstrated the link between mass and energy that led to the nuclear
energy today.

Brownian Movement
This could by far be the best Albert Einstein discoveries, where his observation of
the zigzag movement particles in suspension, helped to prove the existence
of atoms and molecules. And we all know how fundamental this discovery is to
almost every branch of science today.

Special Theory of Relativity

This Einstein theory helped to explain that time and motion are relative to their
observers, as long as the speed of light remains constant and natural laws are the same
throughout the universe.

General Theory of Relativity

Einstein proposed that gravity is a curved field in the space-time continuum
created by the existence of mass.

Manhattan Project
Albert Einstein created the Manhattan Project, a research supported by the U.S.
that led to the development of the atomic bomb in 1945.

Einstein’s Refrigerator
This may be one of the least known inventions that Einstein is famous for today.
Einstein developed a refrigerator design that used ammonia, water, and butane, and
required almost no energy to work.

Considering the energy demands of the world, companies may realize the importance of
cooling & refrigeration without energy, and develop this concept further in the near
future.

I choose Einstein because, I am sure that he helps a lot on advancing the

technology before and after World War 2. He ended the war by inventing the most

powerful weapon at that time. He is most likely I like because of his intelligence. He

was the person who has the highest IQ in the world. His brilliant ideas made him

famous in all aspects in science. The inventions of Einstein were very useful nowadays

that led every people to easier life.
