BIOGRAPHY EINSTEIN Albert
Biography
A well-known figure in the world of natural sciences, Albert Einstein (years of life: 1879-1955), is known even by humanitarians who do not like particular objects because the name of this person has become a household name for people with incredible mental skills.Childhood
and youth
The biography of the great scientist begins with the small
German city of Ulm, situated on the Danube River - this is the place where
Albert was born on March 14, 1879,
The father of the brilliant physicist Herman was involved in the production of filling mattresses with feather stuffing, but soon the Albert family moved to the city of Munich. Herman, along with Jakob, his brother, took over a small company selling electrical equipment, which at first developed successfully, but could soon not stand the competition of large firms.
As a child, Albert was considered a narrow-minded child, for
example, he did not speak up until the age of three. The parents were even
afraid that their child would never learn to pronounce words, when at the age
of 7 Albert barely moved his lips, trying to repeat the memorized phrases.
From an early age,
the great physicist showed a negative attitude towards war: he hated the noisy
game of soldiers because he personifies a bloody war.
A vivid memory of a genius is a compass, which Albert
obtained from his father at the age of five. Then the boy was ill, and Herman
showed him an object that was interested in the child: after all, it is
surprising that the arrow of the device showed the same direction.
Little Albert was frequently taught by his uncle Jacob, who
from childhood instilled in his nephew a love for the exact mathematical
sciences. Together they read textbooks on geometry and mathematics, and solving
a problem on their own for a young genius has always been happy. However,
Einstein's mother Paulina had a negative attitude towards such activities and
believed that for a five-year-old child, love for the exact sciences would not
be anything good. But it was clear that this man would make big discoveries in
the future.
It is also known that Albert was interested in religion
since childhood, he believed it was impossible to start studying the universe
without understanding God. The future scientist observed the clergy with
trepidation and did not understand why the higher biblical mind did not stop
the war. When the boy was 12 years old, his religious beliefs sunk into
oblivion due to the study of science books. Einstein became a believer that the
bible is a highly advanced system for managing youth.
Einstein hated going to an educational institution and
believed that the teachers themselves did not know much, but they envisioned
themselves to be upstarts who were allowed to do everything. Because of these
judgments, young Albert constantly got into arguments with them, so he
developed a reputation as not only a backward, but also a poor student.
Without graduating from high school, 16-year-old Albert
moved from his family to sunny Italy, to Milan. In the hope of enrolling in the
Federal Higher Technical School of Zurich, the future scholar leaves Italy for
Sweden on foot. Einstein managed to show decent results in the exact sciences
in the exam, but Albert totally failed in the humanities. But the rector of the
technical school recognized the outstanding abilities of the teenager and
advised him to enter the Swiss Aarau school, which, by the way, was considered
far from the best.
The best students of Aarau left for higher education in the
capital of Germany, but in Berlin, the abilities of graduates were underrated.
After that the satisfied future scientist came to Schneider's office Albert
angered the head of the school, saying that he unfairly chooses students for competitions.
The
beginning of a scientific career
Due to disagreements with professors at the institute Albert
was blocked from entering science He passed the examinations well, but not
perfectly, the professors refused the student a scientific career. Einstein
worked with interest at the scientific department of the Polytechnic Institute,
Weber said that his student was a smart fellow, but did not accept the
criticism.
In 1904, Albert began collaborating with the Annals of
Physics journal, gaining authority in the publication, and in 1905 the
scientist published his own scientific papers. But the revolution in the world
of science was made by the three articles of the great physicist
The work laid the foundation for quantum theory;
Theory of
relativity
Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity
Nobel Prize
Albert Einstein has been nominated for the Nobel Prize more
than once, but this award bypassed the scientist for about 12 years because of
his new and not clear views on exact science. However, the committee agreed to
compromise and nominate Albert for his work on the theory of the photoelectric
effect, for which the scientist was awarded the prize. All due to the fact that
this invention is not so revolutionary, in contrast to the General Relativity,
for which Albert, in fact, was preparing a speech.
However, there are rumors that Albert had known long before
the trip that he was being nominated. But the scientist decided not to stay in
Stockholm at such a decisive moment.
Personal
life
The life of the great scientist is covered with interesting
facts: Albert Einstein is a weird person. He was known to wear socks and also
hated brushing his teeth. In addition, he had a poor memory of simple things
like telephone numbers.
After he divorced Mileva, the scientist married Elsa Leventhal, his cousin. However, he was also interested in Elsa's daughter, who didn't have mutual feelings for a man who was 18 years older than her.
Cause of
death and memory
In the spring of 1955, during a walk between Einstein and
his friend, a simple conversation about life and death started, during which
the 76-year-old scientist said that death is also a relief.
On April 13, Albert's condition worsened sharply: doctors
diagnosed an aortic aneurysm, but the scientist refused to be operated on.
Albert was in the hospital, where he fell ill. He whispered words in his native
language, but the nurse couldn't understand them. This was a bitter loss for
the whole scientific world.
