Unpredictable Genius “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Einstein had said. Albert Einstein was born on March 26th‚ 1876 to a middle-class German Jewish family. His parents were concerned that he scarcely talked until the age of three‚ but he was not so much a backward as a quiet child. He would build tall houses of cards and hated playing soldier. At the age of twelve he was fascinated by a geometry book. Albert was a huge prankster in school. As a student‚ he liked to bring unpleasant

Albert Einstein was a physicist of the 20th century. During his research‚ he developed both theories of general and special relativity. These discoveries and contributions to science led him to receive the nobel Prize for physics. Some say his discoveries make him the most influential person of the 20th century for his field of study. Albert Einstein was born in Ul‚ Württemberg‚ Germany on March 14‚ 1879. He was raised in a Jewish household. He had one brother‚ Hermann‚ and one sister‚ Maja. Elementary

Albert Einstein was born of Jewish parents in Ulm‚ Germany‚ in 1879. He was educated at Munich‚ Aarau and Zurich. Disapproving of German militarism he took Swiss nationality in 1901 and the following year was appointed examiner at the Swiss Patent Office. While in this post he began publishing original papers on the theoretical aspects of problems in physics. Influenced by quantum theory developed by Max Planck in Berlin‚ Einstein explained the photoelectric law that governs the production of

The Einstein Letter is a letter to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed by Physicist Albert Einstein to inform Roosevelt of Germany’s plans to develop uranium weapons to use against America. This letter was written on August 2nd‚ 1939 by physicist Leó Szilárd and a group of other physicists at Columbia University in New York‚ which was read‚ agreed upon‚ and signed by Albert Einstein. It is a primary source intended to be viewed by Roosevelt in regards of using such a weapon and Germany’s likelihood

Albert Einstein once defined insanity as‚ “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” For instance‚ if one repeats an action over and over again like speeding‚ he or she will expect a different outcome; however‚ he or she will keep receiving tickets for speeding. From a personal viewpoint‚ a few of my friends think repeatedly performing a task over and over will give them a new result. For instance‚ not preparing for a test will cause failure which is my personal

Einstein’s Response Albert Einstein‚ a well-known physicist‚ wrote a letter to a 6th grade student‚ Phyllis Wright‚ in response to her question as to whether scientist pray‚ and if so‚ what they pray for. The reason she would have most likely be asking this question is probably because the world at the time is going through tough times such as The Depression and it also being post World War 1 era. Einstein’s response to Phyllis’s question was ineffective because it lacks ethos‚ pathos‚ and it

Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity‚ effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement‚ Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics. While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world’s most famous equation")‚[4] he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics‚ and especially for his discovery of the
