ALBERT EINSTEIN This German physicist is considered one of the world's greatest thinkers in history. Chernyshova Sveta Pozdnyakova Kate T-135
BIOGRAPHY Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879, and spent most of his youth living in Munich, where his family owned a small shop. He attended schooling in Munich. In addition to this, he taught himself Euclidean geometry at the age of 12.
Later his family was forced to move to Milan, Italy where he then decided to withdraw from school at the age of 15. Eventually, he realized that he had to finish secondary school. He had his violin lessons from age six to age thirteen.
In 1895, Einstein failed an examination that would have allowed him to study for a diploma as an electrical engineer at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. Following the failing of the entrance exam to the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School, Einstein attended secondary school at Aarau.
The next year, in 1896, he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich to be trained as a teacher of physics and mathematics.
In 1901 he gained his diploma and accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. In 1905 Einstein earned a doctorate from the University of Zurich for a thesis "On a new determination of molecular dimensions".
In 1911, he was appointed Professor of Theoretical Physics in Prague. Einstein returned to Zurich in 1912 to fill a similar post. In 1914 he was appointed Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin. In 1915 Einstein published the definitive version of general theory of relativity.
In 1915 Einstein published the definitive version of general theory of relativity. He published five major research papers at the age of 26. The first paper was on Brownian motion. The second paper laid the base of the photon, or quantum theory of light. It said that light is made off separate packets of energy, titled quanta or photons.
The third paper, which he began as an essay at age 16, contained the « special theory of relativity » . The fourth was a mathematical addition to the special theory of relativity. This is where he presented his famous E = mc 2, also known as the energy mass equivalence.
His fifth paper was his general theory of relativity. In which he proposed that gravity is not a force, a previously accepted theory but it's a curved field in the space-time continuum created in the presence of mass. Einstein received the Nobel Prize in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect.
A third visit to the United States in 1932 was followed by the offer of a post of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton. The idea was that Einstein would spend seven months a year in Berlin and five months at Princeton.
Einstein accepted and left Germany in December 1932 for the United States. He became a United States citizen in 1940 and retired from his post in 1945.
One week before his death Einstein signed his last letter. It was a letter in which he agreed that his name should go on a manifesto urging all nations to give up nuclear weapons. Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, at Princeton, New Jersey, USA.
