Albert Einstein - IUS

Do you know the man that dropped out of school and still was one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century? That is Albert Einstein. Albert was a man that thought for himself and changed the world of science and physics. He loved what he did and challenged himself to do and think more.

Albert was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. As a child he did many things. Albert didn’t have a good talking experience as a child. He didn’t speak until almost 4 years old, because he didn’t want to talk until he knew how to speak sentence and words. He worked out the sentences in his head and practiced saying them alone.

Albert Einstein dropped out of school. He actually did go to elementary school, but not in just one school. He was kicked out of many schools and his parents moved him to more strict schools. But this did not stop his bad attitude about school and laziness in completing his work. He only enjoyed activities in school that he felt expanded his imagination.

He once said,” Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” As soon as Albert went to high school he hated it. He dropped out at the age of 15. Some think he it was because he had a disability with making friends.

When you hear about Albert Einstein, what is the first word that comes to mind? Genius, isn't it?

Einstein is undoubtedly a scientific genius. Albert Einstein, also known as The Father of The Nuclear Age, perhaps one of the most brilliant minds ever to exist was a very quiet man. Einstein's Theory of Relativity revolutionized scientific brought with new conceptions of time, space, mass, motion, and gravitation.

He developed the general theory of relativity He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services

to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”

As you might know, he had some great achievements. He opened the doors to world of vision, lasers, transistors, computer chips, nuclear power, and space exploration.

Although he encouraged the creation of atomic bombs, he changed his mind and was against the expansion and spread of nuclear weapons.

He also wrote three papers that changed the universe, the first paper being that molecules exist in particles. The second paper was about his light ideas. The third paper was consisting of the E=MC² relativity theory.

Albert also got a Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.

In E = mc2 Einstein concluded that mass (m) and kinetic energy (E) are equal, since the speed of light (c2) is constant. In other words, mass can be changed into energy, and energy can be changed into mass. The former process is demonstrated by the production of nuclear energy—particles are smashed and their energy is captured. The latter process, the conversion of energy into mass, is demonstrated by the process of particle acceleration, in which low-mass particles zipping through a device collide to form larger particles.

He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory.

In 1917, Einstein applied the General theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole. He wanted the universe to be eternal and unchanging, but this type of universe is not consistent with relativity. To fix this, Einstein modified the general theory by introducing a new notion, the cosmological constant. With a positive cosmological constant, the universe could be an eternal static sphere.

Einstein collaborated with others to produce a model of a wormhole. His motivation was to model elementary particles with charge as a solution of gravitational field equations

If one end of a wormhole was positively charged, the other end would be negatively charged. These properties led Einstein to believe that pairs of particles and antiparticles could be described in this way.

Einstein refused surgery, saying: "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.“

Einstein died at the age of 76 of a heart atack on April 18th 1955.

During the autopsy, the pathologist removed Einstein’s brain for preservation without the permission of his family, in the hope that the neuroscience of the future would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent.

Failure is part of the learning process. If you never fail you’ll never understand the full meaning of success. Trying something new in your work is the best way to improve as a writer. If you’re afraid to take risks and make mistakes you’ll never get better. So try something out of the ordinary. Get out of your comfort zone.

Einstein believed that an active imagination was the key to solving any problem. Use your imagination to create brilliant written works. Use your imagination to engage people. Use your imagination to become a better writer.
