The Inventor
Albert Einstein
This scientist is the most recognizable figure in the world in this century, many are looking for stories, profiles or short biographies about Albert Einstein.
BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Albert Einstein is a theoretical physicist widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He is in line with Sir Isaac Newton.
He proposed the theory of relativity and also contributed greatly to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology.
Albert Einstein was also the mastermind behind the creation of the strongest Bomb in the World, the ‘Atom’ Bomb that made Japan surrender in 1945. But behind that he also showed regret due to the atomic bomb.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and “for his devotion to Theoretical Physics”.
After the theory of general relativity was formulated, Einstein became famous to the rest of the world, an unusual achievement for a scientist.
In his old age, his fame surpassed the fame of all scientists in history, and in popular culture, Einstein was considered synonymous with intelligence or even genius.
His face is one of the most recognizable in the whole world. In 1999, Einstein was named “People of the Century” by Time magazine.
Its popularity also made the name “Einstein” widely used in advertising and other merchandise, and eventually “Albert Einstein” was registered as a trademark.
To appreciate it, a unit in photochemistry was named einstein, a chemical element was named einsteinium, and an asteroid was named 2001 Einstein.
EINSTEIN'S CHILDHOOD
Einstein was born in Ulm in Wurttemberg, Germany; about 100 km east of Stuttgart. His father was Hermann Einstein, a fur bed seller who later went on to do electrochemical work, and his mother was Pauline.
They were married in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt. Their families were Jewish; Albert was educated in Catholic schools and, at his mother's wishes, he was given violin lessons.
At the age of five, his father showed him the compass of the pouch, and Einstein realized that something in the space that “kosong” was acting on the needle in the compass.
He later described his experience as one of the most evocative moments of his life. Although he made models and mechanical tools a hobby, he was considered a slow learner, likely due to dyslexia, a timid nature, and a, or because of a rare and unusual structure to his brain (researched after his death).
STAMPED STUPID AS A CHILD
In his childhood Albert Einstein seemed retarded because of his ability to speak very late. He is quiet and likes to play alone.
In November 1981 was born her younger sister named Maja. Until the age of seven Albert Einstein loved to get angry and throw things, including to his sister.
His interest and love for the field of physical science emerged at the age of five years. When he was lying weak from illness, his father gave him a compass.
Little Albert was fascinated by the magic of the compass, so he rounded his resolve to open the veil of mystery that enveloped the majesty and greatness of nature.
Although quiet and do not like to play with his friends, Albert Einstein still able to excel in school. His rapping was good and he became the class champion.
In addition to school and science, Albert's activities are just playing music and duet with his mother playing the works of Mozart and Bethoveen.
EINSTEIN'S ADOLESCENCE
The history of Albert Einstein is fascinating to hear. Einstein spent his college days at ETH (Eidgenoessische Technische Hochscule). At the age of 21, Albert graduated. After graduation, Albert Einstein attempted to apply for a job as a teaching assistant, but was rejected.
Eventually Albert got a temporary job as a teacher in High School. Then he got a job at the patent office in the city of Bern. During that time Albert continued to develop his science of physics.
He was later awarded for his theory of relativity because of this slowness, and said that by thinking deeply about space and time from other children, he was able to develop a more developed intelligence.
Another opinion, developed recently, about his mental development is that he has Asperger's Syndrome, a condition associated with autism. Einstein began studying mathematics at the age of twelve.
There were rumors that he had failed in mathematics in his education, but this was not true; the substitution in judgment confused him the following year.
His two uncles helped develop his interest in the intellectual world in his late childhood and early adolescence by providing proposals and books on science and mathematics.
In 1894, due to the failure of his father's electrochemical business, Einstein moved from Munich to Pavia, Italy (near Milan).
Albert stayed behind to finish school, completing one semester before rejoining his family in Pavia.
His failure in the liberal arts in the entrance test of the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, in Zurich) the following year was a step back he was sent by his family to Aarau, Switzerland, to complete his high school, where he received his diploma in 1896.
In the biography of Albert Einstein, he is known to have enrolled several times in the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule. The following year he renounced his Wurttemberg citizenship, and became stateless.
In 1898, Einstein met and fell in love with Mileva Maric, a Serbian classmate (also a friend of Nikola Tesla). Mileva later became Albert Einstein's wife.
In 1900, he was given a degree to teach by the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule and accepted as a Swiss citizen in 1901.
During this time Einstein discussed his interest in science to his close friends, including Mileva.
He and Mileva had a daughter named Lieserl, born in January 1902. Lieserl, at the time, was considered illegal because his parents were not married.
At the time of his graduation Einstein could not find a teaching job, his backwardness as a young man easily angered his professor.
The father of a classmate helped him get a job as an engineering assistant examiner at the Swiss Patent Office in 1902.
There, Einstein assessed the inventor's patent application for a device that required physical knowledge. He also learned to realize the importance of the app compared to a bad explanation, and learned from the director how “ correctly explained himself”.
He sometimes corrects their designs and also evaluates the practicality of their work. Einstein married Mileva on January 6, 1903. Einstein's marriage to Mileva, a mathematician, was a personal companion and cleverness.
On May 14, 1904, Albert Einstein was born. She was the first child of Mileva named Hans Albert Einstein, born. In 1904, Einstein's position in the Swiss Patent Office became permanent.
He obtained his doctorate after submitting the thesis “Eine neue Bestimmung der Molekulldimentionen” (“On a new determination of molecular dimensions”) in 1905 from the University of Zurich.
EINSTEIN'S WORKS
1905 Was a year of achievement for Albert, because in that year Einstein produced many brilliant works. The work and discoveries of Albert Einstein are as follows:
March 1905: paper on the application of equipartition to radiation events, this paper is an introduction to the quantum hypothesis of light based on Boltzmann statistics. This explanation of the photoelectric effect in the paper gave him the Nobel prize in 1922.
April 1905: his doctoral dissertation on the new determination of molecular sizes. Einstein earned his PhD from the University of Zurich.
May 1905: his paper on Brownian motion.
June 1905: His famous paper, the theory of special relativity, was published Annalen der Physik under the title Zur Electrodynamics bewegter Kerper (Electrodynamics of moving bodies).
September 1905: the continuation of his paper in June which came to the conclusion of his most famous formula : E \= mc2, namely that the mass of an object (m) is a measure of its energy content (E). c is the speed of light in vacuum (c >> 300 thousand kilometers per second).
Mass has equality with energy, a fact that opens up opportunities for the development of nuclear power projects in the future.
One gram of mass is thus equivalent to the energy that can supply the electricity needs of 3000 homes (powering 900 watts) for a full year, an incredible amount of energy.
In the same year he wrote four articles that provided the basis of modern physics, without much science literature he could appoint or the many colleagues in science he could discuss about his theory.
Many physicists agree that all three theses (about Brownian motion), the photoelectric effect, and special relativity) deserve the Nobel Prize. But only the thesis on the photoelectric effect received the award.
This is an irony, not only because Einstein knew more about relativity, but also because the photoelectric effect is a quantum phenomenon, and Einstein became free of the way in quantum theory.
What makes his thesis remarkable is that, in each case, Einstein confidently took ideas from theoretical physics to logical consequences and managed to explain the results of experiments that puzzled scientists for decades. He submitted his theses to “Annalen der Physik”.
They are usually addressed to “Annus Mirabilis Papers” (from Latin: Incredible year). The Union of Pure Physics and Applications (IUPAP) plans to celebrate 100 years of publication of Einstein's work in 1905 as the Year of Physics 2005.
EINSTEIN AND THE BROWNIAN MOVEMENT
In his first article in 1905 named “On the Motion Required by the Molecular Kinetic Theory of Heat of Small Particles Suspended in a Stationary Liquid“, covering research on Brownian motion.
Using the kinetic theory of liquids, which was controversial at the time, he established that the phenomenon, which still lacked a satisfactory explanation after several decades after it was first observed, was lacking, provide empirical evidence (on the basis of observation and experiment) of reality in atoms.
It also lends credence to statistical mechanics, which at the time was also controversial. Prior to this thesis, atoms were known as a mixed concept, but physicists and chemists debated bitterly whether atoms were really real objects.
Einstein's statistical discussion of atomic behavior gave experimenters a way to count atoms just by looking through a regular microscope.
Wilhelm Ostwald, a leader of the anti-atom school, later told Arnold Sommerfeld that he had converted to Einstein's complete explanation of the Brownian movement.
NOBEL
In 1909, Albert Einstein was appointed professor at the University of Zurich. In 1915, he completed both his theories of relativity.
The highest award for his hard work since childhood paid off with the Nobel Prize in 1921 in the field of physical science. Albert also developed quantum theory and fused field theory.
In 1933, Albert and his family moved to the United States because of concerns that his scientific activities – both as a teacher and as a researcher – was disrupted. In 1941, he took an oath as a citizen of the United States.
Because of his fame and sincerity in helping others in distress, Albert was offered the second president of Israel. But this position was rejected because he felt he did not have competence in that field.
EINSTEIN'S DEAD
On April 18, 1955, Albert Einstein died leaving behind a great work that has changed the history of the world.
In the biography of Albert Einstein, it is known that Albert Einstein had grieved and regretted in his heart because of his great work – general and special relativity theory – was used as inspiration for making the atomic bomb.
It was these bombs that were dropped over the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. He is said to be deeply sorry to have written to President Roosevelt explaining about the Atomic Bomb.
That's brief information about Albert Einstein's biography and profile. Hopefully it will be useful for readers.
