Coming of Age or of Genius
Einstein, when younger, was an average young boy. That is until the age of ten. It was at this time that Einstein started to show extraordinary curiosity for understanding the mysteries of science. This came as a bit of a shock to some, one reason because he didn't start to even talk until the age of three. Then in 1905 he had his "Annus Miribalis" or his "miricle year".
All Around Genius
Nobel Prize
In 1921 Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his outstanding work in writing the Special Theory of Relativity and the General Theory of Relativity.(<-- one of the two pillars of physics)
A Household Word
After winning the Nobel Prize and having his theory "e=mc2" confirmed Einstein's name became a household word synonymos with genius all over the world.
Bad Guy In The Nazi's Eyes
Although known as a genius to the rest of the word Einstein, in his home country Germany, he was seen as a jew. Because of this Einstein emigrated to the U.S. (This took place in 1933.)
"FATHER of the ATOMIC BOMB"
Indirectly Starting the Nuclear Age
Einstein is known as the "Father of the Atomic Bomb" because in aided the U.S in creating the atomic bomb that landed in Japan. After he heard of what the bomb had done to the people of Japan he is said to have put his head in his hands and said guiltily," What have I done?" Although the reaction some say that if the same thing would have happened he would have done the same thing given the situation.
Einstein Today
It does not matter what everyone says about Albert Einstein, he has given many things to the world. What they do not know is that without Einstein's theories today's people wouldn't have the television, remote control devices, automatic door openers, lasers, and DVD-players.
The Last Days
Close To Death
In the end of his life Einstein went into a hospital complaining of bad chest pains. It turned out that he had a life ending condition yet he could have gotten surgery but he declined. He said that it was his time to go because he had already given his contributions to the world. He was cremated and spread in an unknown location.
