 Fun Facts About Albert Einstein
Awards and Achievements

5.  ALBERT EINSTEIN was born at Ulm, in Wurttemberg,
Germany on march 14, 1879. He began his
schooling at the Luitpold Gymnasium. In 1896 he
entered the Swiss Federal polytechnic school in
Zurich to be trained as a teacher in physics and
mathematics. In 1901 he acquired Swiss citizenship
and 1905 he obtained his doctor’s degree.
 His most important work include the famous
“special theory of relativity” “E=mc^2”[1905],
general theory of relativity[1916], investigation on
theory of Brownian movement[1926] and the
evolution of physics[1938].

6.  Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate
degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from
many European and American universities.
 He was won Nobel prize in physics in 1921and also
for his discovery of the law of photoelectric effect
in 1922 and Barnard medal for meritorious service
to science.
 He died in 18th 1955.

7. Einstein’s most recognized contribution to
science was his 1905 theory of relativity.
In his paper ‘On the electrodynamics of
Moving bodies’, Einstein presented a new
model of movement at the speed of light.
His work on space – time movement gave
birth to the mass x acceleration formula, or
E=mc^2
This theory changed much in the way
scientist look at the world and set the
foundation for many modern inventions,
including the nuclear bomb and nuclear
energy.

8.  Albert Einstein did not work directly on inventing
the Atomic bomb, but his name is closely
associated with the bomb. This is because his
scientific work and discoveries were key in the
bomb’s development, scientifically his work on
the energy and mass and his famous equation,
E=mc^2.
 In 1905, as a part of his Special Theory of
Relativity, he made the intriguing point that a
large amount of energy could be released from a
small amount of matter. This is expressed by the
equation E=mc^2(energy= mass times the speed
of light squared).The atomic bomb would clearly
illustrate the principle.

9.  Einstein explanation of the photoelectric
effect was novel enough to merit him a Nobel
prize.
 Einstein proposed that light is composed of
separate packets of energy, called quanta or
photons, that have some properties of
particle and some properties of waves.
 He also explained the photoelectric effect,
which is the emission of electrons from some
solids when they were struck by light.

10.  The photoelectric effect- and the adjoining
explanation- is now extensively made use of
in solar cells and in light- sensitive
electronics.
 Television is a practical application of
Einstein’s theory of light.

12.  This is the most underplayed of Einstein’s
achievements.
 It explain the zigzag motion of microscopic
particles in suspension.
 Einstein’s findings helped to prove the
existence of atoms and molecules.

13.  Albert had a fat head at the time he was born.
The fat head slowly receded and turned into a
normal size. Interestingly, a head containing
the brain that would inspire millions of
people in the future was not so perfect at
birth.
 Einstein did not speak until the age of three.
He had a speech difficulty during his
childhood.

14.  The parietal lobe in Einstein’s brain was 15%
larger than that of an average brain.
 At 16, Einstein is said to have failed in the
exam that would have let him train to become
an electrical engineer.
 Another interesting fact about Einstein is that
he had a poor memory. He could not
remember names, dates or phone numbers.
 He loved the violin and sailing, and hated
socks and haircuts. He also loved bird
watching.

15.  Albert Einstein was awarded Nobel prize for
theory of relativity, in 1921 and also for his
discovery of photoelectric effect in 1922.
 In 1925 the royal society awarded Einstein
the Copley Medal.
 In 1929, Max plank presented Einstein with
the Max Plank medal for his extraordinary
achievements in theoretical physics.
 The united states postal service honored
Einstein with a Prominent American series
postage stamp.
