Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the pillars of modern physics. Some of his major accomplishments include developing the special theory of relativity in 1905 which established that the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference, and that the speed of light in a vacuum is independent of the motion of all observers. He is also known for his mass-energy equivalence formula E=mc2. Einstein received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 and was influential in the development of atomic energy, among other scientific contributions. He later immigrated to the United States due to rising Naziism in Germany.

2. Albert Einstein
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex,
and more violent. It takes a touch of genius --and a lot of
courage --to move in the opposite direction."

3. EARLY AGE
 Albert was born on March 14, 1879 in
Ulm, in the Germans Empire.
 Albert was a typical boy in elementary school
with difficulties in his speech, yet he was the
top student.
 His curiosity began when his father showed
him a pocket compass, when he was four or
five years old, and thought “There mustbe
something in there that causes the needle to
spin besides the “empty space”.”
 Einstein built models and mechanical devices
just for fun which showed his mathematical
skills.

4.  When his father’scompany failed in 1894, his family moved to different places.
 He then decided to stay in Munich to finish his studies.
 His father intended for him to pursue in electrical engineering.
 Einstein knew, that he wanted to teach math and Science at a University
someday. The problem was, he wasn’t a very good test-taker and could not
get a job at a University because of it.
 Einstein finished secondary school at age 17.

5. Marriages and Children
 Einstein met Mileva Marić the same year he enrolled at the Polytechnic.
Over the years their friendship developed into romance.
 In early 1902, They had a daughter named Lieserl.
 A year later, Einstein and Mileva married.
 They then had two sons names Hans Albert and Eduard.
 After 16 years of marriage Einstein and Marić divorced for the reason that they
had been living their lives apart for 5 years.
 Einstein remarried a couple months later with
Elsa Lowenthal. They both immigrated to the
United States. She then died in 1936.

6. Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity (1905)
 Relative to who is watching, space and time are transformed near the
speed of light (The speed of light in a vacuum was independent of the
motion of all observers): distances appear to stretch;
 Einstein’s theory meant that Newton’s Laws needed to be modified.
 Space and time are not absolute - and the universe we live in is not
actually the one Newton "discovered.“

7.  Of course, Einstein isn't finished. Later in 1905 comes the most
famous relationship in physics: e=mc2.
 The energy content of a body is equal to the mass of the body
times the speed of light squared.
 At first, even Einstein does not understand the full
implications of his formula.

8. Academic Career
 After completing his thesiswith Alfred Kleiner, Albert was awarded a PhD
by the University of Zurich.
Annus_Mirabilis
 That same year, in 1905 Albert published 4 “Annus Mirabilis” papers which
were on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity, and the
equivalence of matter and energy. These papers introduced him to his
academic career.
 Three years later, he was recognized as a leading scientist and became a
professor of Physics at the German University (1911).
 Albert Einstein is awarded the Nobel Prize "for his services to Theoretical
Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric
effect"

9. Emigration to the United States
Einstein and his wife Elsa was forced to leave Germany and enter
the U.S due to the new Chancellor, Adolf Hitler.
Albert had never felt so Jewish in his life.
Other scientists emigrated to the United States.

10. WWII and The Manhattan
Project
Before the beginning of World War II, Albert was forced to
write a letter to the president of the United States, to
inform him about Hitler’s plans in developing an atomic
bomb.
The letter gave Franklin D. Roosevelt the idea to join the
race on building bombs.

11. Death
On April 17, 1955 Albert suffered from internal
bleeding caused by the rupture of an
abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Albert did not want surgery and said “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. He was having to
work until the last day of his life.

12. During the autopsy, the pathologist removed Einstein’s brain
without the permission of his family in hope that
neuroscience of the future will be able to figure out why
Albert Einstein was so intelligent.

13.  Between 1905 to 1925, Einstein changed the world’s
understanding of nature on every scale, from the smallest
organism to the whole universe.
 Now, a century after he began to make his mark, we are still
exploring Einstein's universe.
 The problems he could not solve remain the ones that define the
cutting edge, the most tantalizing and compelling.
Einstein’s Contribution

14.  Einstein continued to his dying days, trying to figure out a single
central theory that explained everything in the universe.
 An extension of his work has become known as String Theory,
which says that everything in the universe is made up of tiny
strings of energy.

15. “Quotes”
“All that is valuable in human society depends upon the
opportunity for development accorded the individual.”
“Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain
too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.”
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried
anything new."
"If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is
work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut."
