Albert Einstein was one of the greatest geniuses of the twentieth century for many reasons. Mr. Einstein is famous in the world of physics for the theory of relativity. Mr. Einstein was, and still is thought of as a man of great intelligence, but there are many things that we still don’t know about his early life. Albert Einstein also received the Nobel Prize 2 times in his live. Even though he is often unnoted, Albert Einstein is considered a man of great intelligence because of his contribution to physics with e=mc2 and also because he had little to no longitudinal fissure, making it easier for him to think critically.
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14th, 1879 to Hermann Einstein and Pauline Einstein. For most of his live he lived in Ulm, a small town outside of Munch, Germany. At the age of 1 the Einstein family moved to Zurich, Germany. The Einstein family moved to Zurich so that Hermann, Albert’s father could work with his brother Jakob in his Manufacturing business. Albert’s family consisted of his mother and father, himself, and his younger sister Maja. Albert Einstein’s parents worried about him because he rarely spoke as a child, thus causing them to think that he had a brain development issue.
Albert as a child was a very different kind of student. Albert was seven (7) years old when he first went to school. Einstein stood apart from the other children in the class; he wasn’t talked too much by the other children because he was the only Jewish child. Albert was also ignored by many of the boys in his class because he didn’t like to follow sports. Einstein only cared for reading science books and asking questions, his teachers didn’t care for that. When he was 15 years old he was asked to leave h...

Albert Einstein’s discoveries and theories have had a positively enormous effect on the world. Some of Einstein’s biggest impacting discoveries and theories are the theories of Special and General relativity, the Theory of Relativity, Brownian motion, the discovery of the photon, and Einstein’s creation of the equation E = MC^2. Perhaps Einstein’s most beneficial discovery is his formulation of E = MC^2 which is crucial for space-flight and can help today’s scientist in gathering knowledge about our universe.
Einstein became a hero, and the myth building began. Headlines appeared in newspapers all over the world. On November 8, 1919, for example, the London Times had an article headlined: "The Revolution In Science/Einstein Versus Newton." Two days later, The New York Times' headlines read: "Lights All Askew In The Heavens/Men Of Science More Or Less Agog Over Results Of Eclipse Observations/Einstein Theory Triumphs." The planet was exhausted with World War I, eager for some sign of humankind's nobility, and suddenly here was a modest scientific genius, seemingly interested only in pure intellectual pursuits.

Beyond the transcendence of science for which he is most famous, Albert Einstein made great contributions to American society and the world as a whole through his attitude, philosophy, and values. He was a free thinker who regularly challenged assumptions and conventional wisdom, inspiring future generations of scientists and engineers to do the
It is undeniable that Albert Einstein was one of the most influential and greatest thinkers the world has ever seen. His huge impact on the world of physics through the Annus Mirabilis papers and his many other discoveries about space and matter have opened up new possibilities for future scientists and inventors. Einstein did not only impact the world through science, but also with his political views. His letter to Roosevelt which ultimately end up completely changing how World War II concluded and his involvement in the cold war, trying to stop a nuclear war from ever happening. All of these things make Albert Einstein very much so deserving of the noble prize he received. His theories in physics will continue to make an impact on the discovery of the universe and future generations.

Now to begin, Albert Einstein created what would be the world’s most famous and memorable equation which had the power to transcend the barriers of language and culture. On September 27, 1905 Einstein published a paper called “Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?”. This published paper was the last of four papers he submitted that year to the journal Annalen der Physik. His first paper explained the photoelectric effect, the second offered experimental proof of the existence of atoms, and the third introduced what we know today as the theory of special relativity. The last paper to be published introduced his formula “m=E/c2” which would later be tweaked to the recognized form we know today, “E=mc2”. 1905 remains to this day one of the most significant years in history for the field o...

E=MC2, also known as mass-energy equivalence, is a famous equation in the scientific corridors. Most people know that Albert Einstein discovered this equation in 1905. However, past that they do not know a thing. All they know is that this equation equates energy (E) to mass (M) times the speed of light(C) squared (Forshaw and Smith 12).

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.
Albert Einstein, born on March 14, 1879 is one of the most influential people of the modern era. (Einstein) As a physicist he changed our understanding of the universe. He was very outspoken about the significant political and social issues of his time. As a Jew he advocated a moral role for the Jewish people. Over his scientific career, he was on a mission for the universal and indisputable laws that govern the physical world. Science was Albert Einstein's love, but he always found time to devote many of his efforts to political causes that were close to his heart. He strived for peace, freedom, and social justice. He became an active leader of the international anti-war movement. (Albert Einstein Archives) Einstein died on April 18, 1955. (Einstein)
