Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in 1879 to Jewish parents. He showed early brilliance in physics and mathematics but failed to be admitted to the Zurich Polytechnic initially. However, in 1901 he received his diploma and in 1905 earned his doctorate. That same year, known as his "miracle year", he wrote four groundbreaking papers that changed physics, including his paper on the photoelectric effect which won him the Nobel Prize and his theory of special relativity which introduced the world to E=mc2. Einstein later helped develop the atomic bomb and was offered the presidency of Israel, which he declined. He died in 1955 in Princeton, New Jersey.

Miracle year Wrote 4 papers in 1905, and all them are regarded as major achievements.  The Photoelectric Effect  The Brownian Motion  The Theory of Relativity  E=MC2 2/16/2015 4
The Photoelectric Effect • Einstein hypothesized that the number of electrons released would not depend on the number of quanta, but the light’s energy. • Confirming his hypothesis through several experiments, Einstein won the Nobel Prize of 1921 for his works in this field. 2/16/2015 5
• Explained the movements of very small objects. • Examined molecular action that supported the Atomic Theory. 2/16/2015 6
The theory of Relativity • First assumption was that the law of physics are the same from any frame of reference. • Second assumption was that the velocity of light will always be the same no matter what condition measured. • From the two assumptions, Einstein derived a mathematical relationship between the velocity of an object and its length. 2/16/2015 7
E=MC² • Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. • Formula was derived due to Einstein’s realization of how closely energy and a mass of a body is connected • This formula suggests that tiny amounts of mass can be converted into huge amounts of energy. 2/16/2015 8
Atomic Bomb • Einstein wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt informing him of a possible atomic bomb being built in Germany. • Einstein’s formula, E=MC², was key in the United States developing the atomic bomb. 2/16/2015 9

Death 2/16/2015 11 • Hospitalized with stomach pains several times and his health began to decline. • Died on April 18, 1955 • Named Person of the Century by Time magazine in 2000.
Albert Einstein Famous Quotes  Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.  If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.  Imagination is more important than knowledge.  Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.  I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.  Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. 2/16/2015 12
