"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don 't do anything about it." This thought-inducing quote is from one of the worlds most remembered scientists, Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany. Albert grew up in a Jewish, middle-class family. His mother and father, Pauline Koch and Hermann Einstein, raised Albert. His father was a salesman and engineer, and his mother ran the family household. Einstein also had a brother and a younger sister. The Einstein family invited medical student, Max Talmud, to their house for Thursday evening dinners. Talmud became much like a tutor to Einstein, teaching him higher mathematics and philosophy. Throughout his childhood, Einstein marveled in wonder at the scientific forces in his everyday life. From an early age, he excelled in science and mathematics. At the age of 15, Einstein dropped out of high school to move with Milan with his family, where they had moved there failing business. He finished his studies in Switzerland, and soon after moved to Bern, where he worked in the Patent Office. In his leisure time, he practiced in the area of theoretical physics. He published several very important scientific works including the theory of relativity, and the famous e=mc2 formula.
Albert Einstein worked on his Theory of Relativity. After this theory was proven to be accurate, Einstein quickly rose to fame. He received honors and invitations from all over the world.In the year 1921, he won the Nobel Price for physics.
In his work ‘The Founddation of the General Theory of Relativity’ Einstein took Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation, which states “the force of gravity is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses”, and unified it with his own special relativity, along with the effects of gravity.
