Albert Einstein One of the smartest scientists. One of the most famous scientists ever! By Najib Hussaini 7C Miss Joseph

Introduction Learn form yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow, The important thing is to not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein was a German born physics, also one of the most famous scientists of all time. He is mainly famous for the discovery of the general relativity. He also discovered the special relativity. Albert’s father showed him a pocket compass when he was five years old. That compass was what made Einstein interested in science. When the compass was turning the same direction, no matter how it was turned, made Einstein curious about how that happened.

Early Life Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg Germany on the 14th of March 1879. His father Hermann Einstein was a salesman and an engineer. Albert Einstein grew up and was educated near Rotterdam. He couldn’t talk properly until he was 12 years old. Einstein family moved to Pavia when his father’s business failed. During this time, he wrote his first ever scientific work, “The investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic Fields. He performed his first experiment in the age of 16, visualizing travelling alongside a beam of light. Einstein completed his secondary school from Aarau, Switzerland and fell in love with Marie, the daughter of his professor. He graduated at the age if 17 and renounced his German citizenship. Albert Einstein at the age of 14

Career At the age of 26, Einstein was awarded a PhD by the university of Zurich. Albert Einstein discovered the special relativity in 1905. He wrote a paper explaining the photo concepts in 1909. In 1910, he wrote another paper on critical opalescence thereby explaining why the sky is blue. In 1916 he discovered the general relativity. In 1919, Einstein’s gravitational theory was confirmed by a team lead by a British astronomer. This won worldwide acclaim to Einstein and became very famous. He received the noble prize in physics for his contribution to Theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. Einstein begin searching his ideas of an unified theory. He became a famous man at the age of 53, when he began to feel the heat of Nazi Germany, owning to his Jewish origins.

Later Life In his later years, Einstein still spoke out on social and political issues. He wasn't afraid to stand against the wisdom of the moment. Albert Einstein was asked to become the second president of the State of Israel but he refused. Einstein’s day was filled by researching a true unified field theory for a better understanding. On the 17th of April 1955, Einstein experienced internal bleeding caused by the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. He took the draft preparing for a TV commercial showing the State of Israel’s 70th anniversary with him to the hospital but he didn't have enough time to live to complete it. Einstein refused surgery saying, "I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly”. He died the next morning at Princeton Hospital at the age of 76.

Conclusion Albert Einstein was a very famous scientist. He has helped many people and made many discoveries throughout his life. He made people aware of the theory of relativity. He was advanced in science and mathematics. He has inspired many people in science by his acheivements and discoveries. He made many discoveries which helps the world now. Even now, almost a century after her people still investigate inside Einstein’s universe.
