Autobiography of albert einsteinBiography of Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is known all over the world as a brilliant theoretical physicist and the founder of the theory of relatively. He is perhaps the greatest scientist of the 20th century. While most of the people do not understand this man’s work, everyone knows that its impact on the world of science and physics is enormous. Yes, many have heard of Albert Einstein’s General Theory of relativity, but few know about his interesting life that led this great scientist to discover ideas about atomic bomb, as well as television and other inventions.
Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1874. Before his first birthday, his family had moved to Munich where his father, Hermann Einstein, and uncle set up a small electro-chemical business. As a child, Einstein showed his curiosity toward science and math. A favorite toy of his was his father’s compass, and he often listened to his uncle’s explanations of algebra. Although young Albert was intrigued by science, he was considered a slow learner. But despite his curiosity toward math, neither his parents, nor his school teachers thought much of his mental abilities. His uncle often joked that not everyone was born to become a professor. He also was interested in music, so his mother taught him how to play a violin that would help him to relax, and think more carefully on problems.
When he was ten, he made a decision that he changed his life. He decided that he would not be as other students and go along with what teachers were teaching, he began to question the things around him and why they were happing the way they did. In search of answers and truth he was reading Bible. But soon he turned away from Bible and tried to pay more attention to math and science. To him science seemed much more realistic than ancient stories.
At sixteen he attempted to enroll at the Federal Institute of Technology but failed the entrance exam. For one year he had to study on his own and prepare for the entrance exam once again. He made it to Federal Institute the next year. The Institute allowed Einstein to meet many other students that shared his curiosity, and it was there that his attention turned mainly to Physics.
After graduating from the college, Einstein started to work at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern. In 1905, Einstein published five separate papers in a journal called the Annals of Physics. These works were immediately seen, and the University of Zurich awarded Einstein an additional degree. But he is most well known for his...
