Biography
* Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in the town of Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany.
* Albert's family moved around Europe, including Munich, Italy and Aarau Switzerland.
* Albert attended the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich where he trained to be a teacher in both physics and mathematics.
* Upon his graduation in 1901 he was awarded Swiss citizenship and unable to find a teaching position, so he decided to work as a technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office where he worked on much of his famous research. He earned his Ph.D in 1905.
* In 1908 he became Privotdozent in Berne, 1909 he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague then returning to Zurich in 1912. In 1914 he accepted appointment as the Director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and became a Professor at the University of Berlin.
* He was granted German citizenship in 1914 and stayed there until 1933 when he emigrated to the US and became a US citizen in 1940.
* He accepted a position in 1940 as Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton and resigned in 1945.
* He became a leader for the World Government Movement after World War II, and he was offered, by Israel, the office of President. He declined but was one of the founders or the Hebrew Univeristy of Jerusalem.
* Albert Einstein was awarded honorary doctorates in science, medicine, and philosophy from universities the world over. He was also granted memberships to the leading scientific academies all over the world. However, the genius he is reknown for today landed him in solitude for much of his life.
* He was married twice. He was married to Mileva Maric from 1903 to 1919, they had a daughter and two sons. Later in 1919 Al married his cousin Elsa Löwenthal.
Later, Einstein was accepted into the Swiss Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich. Then in 1986, he decided to renounce his German citizenship and to remain stateless for a while before officially becoming a Swiss citizen in 1901. While attending the S...
...en he was. Even if he wasn't out seeking new advances in science, he sought to improve the human condition.
After graduating from MIT, he went straight into work at Bell Laboratory. He did most of his research in solid state physics, especially vacuum tubes. Most of his theoretical advances led the company to conquer their goal of using electronic switches for telephone exchanges instead of the mechanical switches there were using at the time. Some of the other research he did was on energy bands in solids, order and disorder in alloys, self-diffusion of copper, experiments on photoelectrons in silver chloride, experiment and theory on ferromagnetic domains, and different topics in transistor physics. He also did operations research on individual productivity and the statistics of salary in research laboratories.
He finished his doctorate, started concentrating on identity. It is said that he was the first teacher to instruct a school level course on identity hypothesis, a course that today is required by about all undergrad brain science majors.
1921 moved to Berlin, married, edited a journal called Scripta Universitatis atque Bibliothecae Hierosolymitarum, the mathematical-physical section was prepared by Albert Einstein. This journal played a big role in developing the Hebrew University in Jerusalem,
In World War I he served in the Bavarian army, was gassed and wounded, and received the Iron Cross (first class) for bravery. The war had embittered him and he blamed Germany’s defeat on the Jews and the Marxists. He settled in Munich, joined with other nationalists in 1920, to form the Nazi party. In 1923, he tried to overthrow Bavaria’s Republican governmen...
July 9th, 1856 (famousscientists.org). He earned degrees in law and started to practice as an ecclesiastical lawyer. After obtaining his formal degrees, he took private lessons in mathematics and sciences, including chemistry. He later became the professor of mathematic physics at the University of Turin. Unfortunately, that time for him was shortcoming because of political mayhem. He lost his job in 1823. He then was reappointed to his post and retired in 1850, at the age of 74.
He came to the United States back in 1864, seeking a military career as an enlist for the American Civil War. After the war ended, he arrived in St. Louis and became a reporter for Westliche Post, a german daily paper. Eventually he had become very active in politics, he helped put together the Liberal Republican Party, and was elected to be Missouri’s state legislature.
After graduation, he worked as a teacher at Berkeley for only a year. In 1942, he received citizenship for the United States since he was originally born in Canada. Throughout his career, he has worked as a professor in various universities. He taught at places such as Cornell University, University of Chicago, and Stanford University. Two times he was the chairman of the Chemistry Department in 1972 to 1974 and 1978 to 1979. He was also in the National Defense Research Committee while World War II was taking place.
Richard P. Feynman was born in 1918 in Brooklyn; in 1942 he received his Ph.D. from Princeton. Already displaying his brilliance, Feynman played an important role in the development of the atomic bomb through his work in the Manhattan Project. In 1945 he became a physics teacher at Cornell University, and in 1950 he became a professor at the California Institute of Technology. He, along with Sin-Itero and Julian Schwinger, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for his work in the field of quantum electrodynamics.
In 1923, was awarded a scholarship from the Italian government and spent months in Göttingen with Professor Max Born. In 1924, with the Rockefeller Fellowship,
Bezold devoted himself to the universities of Munich and Gottingen, where he studied mathematical physics. In 1868 he accepted a position as a professor at the technological institute in Munich. Around this time he married Marie Hormann von Horbach.
In 1946 he obtained his MA in physics and then that very same year he was awarded with a scholarship to St. John's College, Cambridge where he got a double BA with honors in mathematics and physics in 1949 and then a Ph. D in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge in 1952. At this point in his he had already received the Smith's Prize by the University of Cambridge for the most outstanding pre-doctoral contribution to physics (1950).
Einstein: No not at all, lets see here... I was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14th of 1874. I was raised mostly in Munich, Germany. One very odd thing that my mother told me was that I didn't speak until I was three years old. My father owned a small electrochemical shop, once it failed in 1890 then my dad moved us to Million, Italy.
He studied electrical engineering at Graz Politechnic in Graz, Austria. He then moved to Budapest to work for the American Telephone Company in 1881. He then moved to Yugoslavia, where he became chief engineer to that country's first telephone system. Later he moved to Paris to work for the Continental Edison Company. While there, he developed devices that used rotating magnetic fields, for which he later received patents.
