Albert Einstein is widely regarded as one of the twentieth century's most significant scientists. His work continues to aid astronomers in their research into everything from gravitational waves to the orbit of Mercury.
Even individuals who don't grasp the underlying physics of E = mc2 – the scientist's equation that helped explain special relativity – are familiar with it. Einstein is also known for his general theory of relativity (which explains gravity) and the photoelectric effect (which explains how electrons behave under particular conditions), for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.
Einstein also endeavored in vain to unite all of the universe's forces in a single theory, or theory of everything, which he was still working on when he died.
Early years.
Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany, a city with a population of little over 120,000 people today. Where his house used to be, there is a modest commemorative plaque (it was destroyed during World War II). His family relocated to Munich shortly after his birth, and then to Italy when his father's business began to fail. Albert and his younger sister, Maria, were raised by Einstein's father, Hermann, who managed an electrochemical firm, and his mother, Pauline.
According to Hans-Josef Küpper, an Albert Einstein expert, Einstein would write in his memoirs that two "wonders" had a profound impact on his early years. At the age of five, Einstein encountered his first marvel: a compass: He was perplexed that the needle may be deflected by unseen forces. This would pique his interest in unseen powers for the rest of his life. The second wonder came when he was 12 years old and discovered a book of geometry that he adored and dubbed his "holy geometry book."
Albert, contrary to popular thought, was a good student. According to Küpper's website, he excelled in physics and mathematics but was a "mediocre" student in other disciplines. However, Einstein rebelled against some of his professors' authoritarian attitudes and dropped out at the age of 16. He later took an entrance exam for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, and while he performed well in physics and math, he struggled in other subjects, and he did not pass the exam. To fill in the gaps in his knowledge, the aspiring physicist completed further courses, was admitted to Swiss Polytechnic in 1896, and obtained his diploma to teach physics and mathematics in 1901.
According to his Nobel Prize biography, Einstein could not obtain a teaching position and began working in a Bern patent office in 1901. While there, Einstein developed his work in special relativity and other areas of physics, which subsequently made him renowned, in between evaluating patent applications.
In 1903, Einstein married Mileva Maric, a longtime love from Zurich. Hans Albert and Eduard, their children, were born in 1904 and 1910, respectively. (The fate of their kid Lieserl, born in 1902 before their marriage, is unknown.) In 1919, Einstein divorced Maric and married Elsa Lowenthal.
Career highlights.
Einstein's work took him to many different countries. In 1905, he received his PhD from the University of Zurich, and went on to become a professor in Zurich (1909), Prague (1911), and Zurich once more (1912). He then relocated to Berlin, where he became the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and a professor at the Berlin University (1914). He became a German citizen as well.
Until 1933, when dictator Adolf Hitler rose to power, Einstein remained in Germany. The physicist therefore gave up his German citizenship and relocated to Princeton, where he became a professor of theoretical physics. In 1940, he became a citizen of the United States, and in 1945, he retired.
In 1955, Einstein died of an aortic aneurysm. Einstein refused surgery when asked. "I want to go," he said. "Artificial life extension is vile. I've done my part; let me go. I'll do it nicely."
According to Matt Blitz's 2015 Today I Found Out blog, a doctor at Princeton Hospital, Thomas Harvey, performed an autopsy without Einstein's consent and took his brain and eyeballs.
Harvey sliced hundreds of thin brain tissue slices and took 14 photographs of the brain from various perspectives. A medical supervisor in a biological testing facility in Wichita, Kansas, he carried the brain tissue, slides, and photographs with him.
Harvey kept the rest of the brain in two glass jars for 30 years, sometimes in a cider box under a beer fridge. But Harvey and his colleagues didn't publish their findings in Experimental Neurology until 1985.
Harvey failed a competence assessment in 1988, Blitz wrote. On the way to Princeton Hospital, Harvey donated the brain. 7/07 Harvey died The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia now has Einstein's brain.
