MY favorite scientist @blessingkasabe: Albert Einstein

source

Albert Einstein was born in 1879 to German Jewish parents. His parents were much concerned that he hardly talked until he was three, but he was not so much a quiet child. He would build tall houses using cards. At the age of twelve, he was overwhelmed by a geometry book.

Albert quit high school when he was 15, disturbed by rote training and martinet teachers.
He then followed his family to Italy, where they had moved their electrotechnical business. He spent half a year wandering and loafing; he then attended a congenial Swiss school. The following year he was enrolled in the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

He works hard in the laboratory but keeps on skipping class,
Einstein finished with a low-class record. He could find only odd jobs for two grim years, but he finally got a post as a patent examiner. He married a former classmate.

Einstein wrote four theoretical papers, all within few months. The first paper talks about the particulate nature of light with discrete energies. The second paper talks about an experimental test that proves the theory of heat and the existence of atoms. The third paper discussed the relation between electromagnetic theory and normal motion.
He backed this theory with an equation, the "principle of relativity." The fourth theory shows that mass and energy are two parts of the same thing, mass-energy (E=mc2).

Einstein was chosen as an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, his first full-time physics job. He then moved to the German University of Prague. He continued his research in physics and published essential physics papers, and met fellow scientists.
He submitted his papers to his colleague scientists at the Solvay Conference. The following year he went back to the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich as Professor.

Einstein moved to Berlin, and he chose a research post that saved him from teaching duties. He parted from first his wife and two children. Einstein declined Germany's destructive war aims, helping a pacifist group during the First World War.
He completed his research on the theory of general relativity. Overturning ancient notions of space and time, he gave introduced a new era of understanding of gravity.

Einstein became interested in politics and supported a new progressive party when Germany was losing the war. The following year he remarried.
His theory on general relativity received remarkable recognition from British astronomers: as Einstein had predicted, gravity bends starlight. He became a figure of science and thought at its highest.

With his fame, Einstein championed the fledgeling German republican government and other liberal causes. Notably, as a result of this, his life and his theory of general relativity came under severe attack from anti-Semites. He started exploring, attended an International Trade Union Congress in Amsterdam.
HE helped the United States of America raise funds for the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
He was honoured with the Nobel Prize.

Einstein contributed to the new quantum theory. He also searched found a way to unite the theories of electromagnetism and gravity. In 1929 he published a unified field theory, but the mathematics could not be correlated with experiments; his struggle toward a practical theory had only begun. Meanwhile, he challenged his fellow scientist's belief that quantum theory can give a complete description of phenomena.

He did not want to live in Germany under the new Nazi government; Einstein then rejoined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He also helped to rescue Jewish and other people who were victims of the Nazis. Einstein signed a letter that notified President F. D. Roosevelt of nuclear bombs' possibility, warning that the Germans might build them. The following year Einstein became an American citizen.

Einstein was offered the chance to become the second President of the State of Israel but declined. He supported many causes, such as the United Nations and world government, nuclear disarmament, and civil liberties.
His works brought about a profound understanding of nature.

Why Einstein is my favourite scientist
I chose Albert Einstein to be my favourite scientist because he was such an enormous influence on our world. Not just once, but throughout his life, he accomplished so many things that have helped the world's society as a whole. Most people know the significant facts about Einstein, such as his famous theory of relativity and E=MC2.

belows are some famous quotes of Einstein

"I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."

"The years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alternations of confidence and exhaustion and the final emergence into the light – only those who have experienced it can understand it."

"How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot."

"The feeling for what ought and ought not to grow and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good. What the individual can do is give a fine example, and have the courage to firmly uphold ethical convictions in a society of cynics. I have for a long time tried to conduct myself this way, with varying success."

"One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike – and yet it is the most precious thing we have."

"It is almost a miracle that modern teaching methods have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom."
