Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany; on March 14, 1879. He had early speech difficulties, so many thought that he had mental disabilities. His father was asalesman and his mother stayed at home. Also his ethnicity was Jewish.
Einstein wrote more than 300 scientific papers. He was known for some of these scientific papers:
*Theory of relativity, whichconsequences include: the time-space frame of a moving body slowing down and contracting (in the direction of motion) relative to the frame of the observer. It also argued that the idea of a luminiferousaether (a medium for the propagation of light) was superfluous.
*Mass-energy equivalence: E = mc2 (energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light).
*Energy Quanta:light itself consists of localized particles (quanta).

In 1933 he emigrated to the U.S. due the rise of power of the Nazis in Germany. He warned, at that time, President Franklin D. Roosevelt thatthe Nazis might be researching the use of atomic bombs. He also helped in the creation of an atomic bomb for the US. But he later mentioned that it was one of the biggest mistakes in his life: "I madeone great mistake in my life — when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made…”
He had many nationalities, including:
Germany: 1879-1896
Stateless: 1896-1901Switzerland: 1901-1911
Austria: 1911-1912
Germany: 1914-1933
United States: 1940-1955

Music was an important part of Einstein’s life. He played the violin since a young age and became good atit. He loved the music of Mozart and Bach the most. Also it was a way to relax by improvising on the violin.

He received many awards because of his contribution to society, some of them are:
NovelPrize in Physics: Novel Foundation Stockholm, 1921.
Copley Medal: Royal Society of London, 1925.
Gold Medal: Royal Astronomical Society, 1926.
Max Planck Medal: German Physical Society, 1929....
