Albert einstein 4The Life of Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was born on March 14th 1879, in Ulm Germany. Einstein spent much of his youth in Munich where his family owned and ran a small manufactured electric machinery company. Although Albert Einstein is thought to be one of the most brilliant influential thinkers of all time, he was born with birth deformities that left his skull in an angular shape. In addition, this same ingenious intellect did not speak until he was three years old. When he did began to speak he was using long and meaningful sentences. While very young Einstein demonstrated curiosity about nature and the ability to comprehend difficult mathematical concepts, and by the young age of twelve he had taught himself and later mastered Euclidean geometry. Einstein disliked school and when his family’s business went bankrupt he decided to withdraw from school and traveled with his parents to Milan. Einstein in fact enrolled in a secondary school in Arrau, Switzerland, and entered the Swill National Polytechnic in Zurich. Again, Einstein was not in favor of the teaching methods and would often skip classes in order to study physics on his own or to play his violin. Although his professors did not think highly of him, Einstein graduated from school in 1900 by studying the notes of a classmate. For the next two years Einstein resorted to substitute teaching and tutoring because his superiors did not recommend him for a university position. In 1902, he was secured a position as an examiner in the Swiss patent office in Mern. During this time he had fallen in love with Mileva Maric who he later married in 1903, and became a father to two sons. His marriage ended quite quickly but it did not stop him from studying his physics. In 1905, Einstein received his doctorate degree from the University of Zurich specializing in theoretical dissertation on the dimensions of molecules. During this time he also published three theoretical paper about the central importance of the development of twentieth century physics. In his three publications he made predictions about the motion of particles that are randomly distributed in fluids.
In 1905, Einstein published his third paper that later became known as his special theory of relativity. He stated that no particular object in the universe is suitable as a complete frame of reference that is at rest with respect to space; therefor, he dismissed the problem of absolute motion by denying that it exists and that al motion is relative. Einstein’s hypothesis was based on the nonexistence of absolute rest in the universe. He believed two objects moving relative to each other at a constant...
