“The Life Of A Genius”
Einstein was born in Ulm in Southwestern Germany , March 14 1879.They moved to Munich a few Weeks after.As a youngster, he walked to school every morning, but, also owing to his poor sense of direction, he attended eight different schools.When he was 5 years old, he fell ill one day,and his father gave him a compass to cheer him up,Einstein was amazed that the needle all ways pointed to the magnetic north no matter which way he turned it.
In his autobiographical notes he recalled “I can still remember - atleast i believe i can remember that this experience made a deep and lasting impression upon me.Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.
As a child, he showed an interest in physics and read many books on the subject. He even called his father’s sister Anti-Matter. One of Einstein’s heroes was Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head as he lay in his garden. Einstein, attempting to emulate Newton, lay on the grass in his own garden for ten hours, but nothing happened. He thought that he had disproved Newton’s theory, until his mother told him there were no apple trees in their garden. Einstein continued to honor his hero by eating his special fig cookies every day, as an after-school snack.
Unlike many geniuses, Einstein wasnt a child prodigy,he didnt speak full sentences until he was five, according to his biographers.His parents were understandably worried.
At university, Einstein took a course in philosophy. He studied one of Zeno’s paradoxes, and, being a budding scientist, he went home and experimented with the theory by walking halfway to the wall over and over. He never reached the wall, as Zeno predicted, but he did break his nose in three places.
Einstein married Mileva Maric, the only woman in his class.Thay had a daughter named Lieserl.Lieserl was born in 1902, a year before her parents married.Einstein work in Switzerland
And Maric would later join Einstein.
It's unclear what happened to their daughter, some believe that he died from infancy probably because of scarlet fever some believe that he was given for adoption.Maric and Einstein had two sons after there married.
1905 was Einstein's year of miracle,he wrote four papers in a German scientific journal that change the way we see the universe.The first was his theory of light physicists at the time believed that light was a wave,but it didnt make sence that light could make an electric current.Hes second paper made the case of an existance of atoms he observed what seems like the random movement of particles in water and reasoned that its's not so random if the water is actualy made up of invisible atoms that cause the particle to jiggle, this is called the Brownian motion.His third third and most famous discovery is the special theory of relativity.
Einstein become famous overnight instantly recognizable.Even thoe his theory meant very little from an average person.
He bagan traveling abroad going to Asia,The Middle East and the U.S where he gaved lectures at columbia university and Princeton.In early 1933 he realized that he could never return to Germany.
He took up a faculty position at the institute, for advance study in Princeton New Jersey where he remained for the rest of his life.
