The Life of Albert Einstein
If there is anyone I would bo a biography type thing on it would have to be Einstein. He was one of the most intellectual minds of the twentieth century, and if you ask me, one of the greatest minds ever.
Along with coming up with the general and special theory of relativity, which are like major landmarks of science and reality, he also wrote a whole bunch of essays on life, reality, science, god, peace, and all this great stuff.
He was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879 to Hermann and Pauline Einsiein. He began to wonder about the world at an early age when he got a compass from somebody. When he was 10 years old, he began to immerse himself in science, and by the time he was 17 years old he graduated high school. He tried to get out early, but he couldn't since he failed the art section of the entrance exam into Swiss Polytechnic. When he graduated he got into ETH, which is a polytechnic university in Zurich.
He met different people throughout his life, but I'm going to cover the stuff that I think is cool.
In1905 he made history and the special theory of relativity was born. A while later he applied it to energy and mass and came up with the famous equation e=mc2. This equation was a great breakthrough in physics. It is thoroughly described at the PBS Nova web site http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/einstein/relativity/index.html . I could explain it, but won't.
By 1928
he was attempting to find a unified field theory, and no one ever
has, and if you ask me it won't ever be found because theories
are ever changing.
He wrote
a bunch of letters to a few presidents about stuff that was
important.
He died in 1955 of heart failure.
