About Albert Einstein
‘Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is to never stop questioning,’ was something Albert Einstein had said. He believed that there was always something new to learn.
Albert Einstein was born in 1879, in Ulm, Germany. In June 1880 moved to Munich. His childhood was mostly normal, but he had learned to speak at a later age than normal. In 1884 he got a private education to get prepared for school. He received his primary education at a catholic school in Munich. Einstein was an average student.
Between 1901 and 1902 he was a teacher at Winterthur and Schaffhausen, but later he moved to the Swiss capital Bern. In order to keep a living he gave private lessons teaching mathematics and physics.
He was married to Mileva Maric in 1903. He had a daughter, but probably never met her, because while he was living in America, she was born in Hungary. Not much is known about his daughter. She was probably released to become adopted.
About the Atomic Bomb
The atomic bomb was invented in 1907. It works by the splitting of atomic nuclei. It uses nuclear fission to do so. It looks more like a fat missile. In the first nuclear bomb drop, it had the equivalence of 20,000 tons of TNT. The formula for the nuclear bomb is E=mc2.
An important event going on at the time of this invention was World War 2. About 2 atomic bombs were used in this war. This invention benefits people by helping in war emergencies. It has helped people in many wars.
When Albert Einstein had made the formula E=mc2, he didn’t know that people would use it to create the atomic bomb. He was against war, and didn’t want anyone to use the atomic bomb. It just goes to show that even very famous inventors make mistakes with bad consequences.
