Albert Einstein was a great scientist and physicist. From his childhood to the end of his life he was interested in science because when he was young, he couldn’t explain some things which pushed him towards science. He was a true genius according to his grades and other people who noticed it and could prove it. He always went ahead of other people which made it easier and more advanced at things that would help him in the future. The push towards science came from his childhood, to the time when he worked hard in school and college, and when he worked, discovered amazing things, and how he succeeded his life.
His childhood is where he started seeing things that amazed him and. (5)When Albert was six he went to “Peterschule”, a catholic elementary school in Munich. When his mother looked at his grades, he was on the top of the class. He then moved to the Luitpold grammar school in 1888. There as time went by, the problems with teachers got more and more severe. (4) He was very slow at learning words which made his parents worry and even ask consultants. He had big questions towards simple things such as time and space that were taken as granted by adults. Even though he didn’t work or study science, he found more and more things he couldn’t explain. (1, 2, 3) For example: when he was five years old, his father had a pocket compass. What Einstein was amazed by was the invisible force pulling the needle toward north. Later in life he looked back on this moment. (1,4) Later when he was older, a wide belief that Einstein failed his math courses spread, however when someone asked him (when he was older) he laughed and said that he mastered many differential calculus and integral calculus before he was fifteen! When he was twelve, he ...

As a child, Einstein was a little out of the ordinary, not quite interested in the typical activities that other children enjoyed, Albert instead was fascinated by music, the sciences, and mathematics. He loved to play his violin, and even taught himself Euclidean Geometry. Unfortunately, as Einstein’s talents and brilliance became more obvious, he began to despise his schools teachings as they subjugated his creativity and genius. Einstein ended up dropping out of school in 1894 at the age of 15. His family’s business had hit the point of bankruptcy and could no longer remain open, so the family decided to shut it down and move to Switzerland. Albert Einstein followed his family and resumed his schooling once again when they arrived.

Since his birth, Albert Einstein has had the most beneficial effects on the events of the world. Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1979 and as a boy displayed an unquenchable curiosity for understanding science and all of its mysteries. As Albert Einstein’s life progressed, he found himself working as a patent clerk in Bern. While working as a patent clerk in Bern, Albert Einstein had a plethora amount of time which was devoted to formulating his theories. Also during this time, Albert Einstein received his Doctorate degree and started working on one of his most influential papers, which was the Special Theory of Relativity. After Einstein completed his Special Theory of Relativity, he moved onto creating the General Theory of Relativity which earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. With the creation of both the General Theory of Relativity and the Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein was able to create his Theory of Relativity which comprises of both theories. Other scientific discoveries that Einstein made are the existence of the photon, the theory of Brownian motion, the concept of Mass-energy equivalence, the photoelectric effect, the first quantum theory of specific heats, the Einstein-Brilloui-Keller method for finding the quantum mechanical version of a classical system , Bose-Einstein statistics and Bose-Einstein condensates, the EPR paradox, and although his efforts were unsuccessful, in his last thirty years of life Einstein explored various classical unified field theories that could account for both electromagnetism and gravitation and possibly quantum mechanics.
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,
Throughout Albert Einstein’s lifetime he accomplished many amazing things that have an effect on people today. For example, in 1905, “often called as Einstein’s “miracle year”, he published four papers in the Annalen der Physik, each of which would alter the course of modern physics” (Michio,Kaku 13). Throughout Einstein’s four books, he “applied the quantum theory to light in order to explain the photoelectric effect, offered the first experimental proof of the existence of atoms, laid out the mathematical theory of special relativity, and proved the first mechanism to explain the energy source of the Sun and other stars”(13). Throughout 1905-1915 Einstein began to realize that his theory for relativity was flawed, because “it made no mention of gravitation or acceleration” (19). “In November of 1915, Einstein finally completed the general theory of reality” (20); “in 1921 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics” (Belanger, Craig. 1).
When Albert Einstein was a young kid, his teachers believed that he was “too stupid to learn.” They suggested to his mother that he just skip school and start manual labor early, because he was a hopeless case. In spite of this, his mother continued to make him go to school; in addition, she also bought him a violin (24). Violin soon became one of his greatest passions, and he even stated that playing the violin was what made him intelligent. His friend, G.J. Withrow, had said that whenever Einstein had trouble figuring out an equation he would go and improvise on the violin (24).
Albert Einstein was undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest physicians and mathematicians of all time. Einstein’s theories of relativity completely changed the world and have had a huge impact on how we currently live our lives. From how we heat our homes to how we are able to use GPS navigation systems. His theories have greatly changed how we must view the world around us. His theories of relativity and his works during the world wars earned him a Nobel Prize in physics, to name one of the many he deservingly received.

Einstein: Um. O.K. Yes, as a matter of fact I did fail the Mathematical Portion of the exam. I found anther college near by, I attempted to attend I was accepted. This new place was named the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. This new college was located in Zurich, Italy. In 1896 I started my freshman year of college. Even though I commonly missed classes due to me testing theories, and such. I passed all my examinations with the reviewing of my friends' notes; thus I graduated in 1900
