Learning Objectives
 To enable the learners to know more about Albert Einstein and recognize his genius.
 To make the students conscious of scientific inventions and discoveries.
Albert Einstein
 The German born physicist who devolved the Special and General theories of relativity and won
the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of The Photoelectric effect.
 Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of all time.
Summary
 Albert Einstein was born on 14 March 1879 in the German City of Ulm.
 His mother thought Albert was a freak.
  At the age of two and a still wasn't talking.
 He then uttered everything twice.
 Other children and his playmates called him "Brother Baring".
 He especially loved mechanical and toys.
 He has a newborn sister name was Meja.
 His headmaster once told Einstein that "he'll not make a success at anything”.
 At the age of six Einstein began learning violin because his mother wanted
him to.
 Einstein became a gifted amateur violinist.
 He went to high School in Munich
 When he was 15 months old, he scored good marks in every subject.
 Einstein hated the school's regimentation. He continued his education in German- speaking
Switzerland.
 Then decided to study in to university in Zurich.
 Science wasn't the only thing he was appealed to.
 He fell in love with Milena Maric. She was a young Serb who had come to Switzerland because
the university in Zurich was one of the few in Europe where women could get degrees.
 In 1900 at the age of 21, Albert Einstein was a university graduate and unemployed. He worked
as a teaching assistant, gave private lessons and finally secured a job in 1902 as technical
expert in the patent office in Bern.
 He started developing his own ideas in secret. His desk drawer at work was called "The Bureau
of theoretical Physics”.
 Famous papers of 1905 were Einstein’s “Special Theory of Relativity”.
 The world's most famous formula which designs the relationship between mass energy is
E=mc2 was found by him.
 He wanted to marry Milena after finishing studies but his mother was against it. She thought
Milena, who was three years older than her son was too old for him.
 They finally get married in January 1903 and had two sons.
 Years later, Milena was losing her ambition and becoming as unhappy housewife so they got
divorced in 1919.
 Einstein married his cousin Elsa in 1919.
 In 1915, he had published his General Theory of Relativity, which provided. a new interpretation
of gravity. An eclipse of the sun in 1919 brought proof that it was accurate.
 The newspaper proclaimed his work as "Scientific revolution".
 He received a Nobel Prize for physics in 1921 When Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933.
 Einstein wrote a letter to Fraklin D. Roosevelt on August 2 1939 warning him about the nuclear
fission.
 His words did not fail to have an effort.

1905 He published the Special Theory of Relativity,
giving rise to his famous equation; e=mc^2.
The theory states that time and distance are
not absolute.
1915
Einstein publishes his General Theory of
Relativity, which provided a new
interpretation of gravity. A solar eclipse in
1919 proved that it was correct and he
became famous.
1919 After constant fighting, Mileva Maric and
Einstein get divorced. He marries his cousin
Elsa later that year.
1933 Nazis come to power in Germany and
Einstein emigrates to the USA.
1983 Nuclear fission gets discovered.
2nd August 1939 Einstein writes a letter to the American
president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, in an
attempt to explain him the dangers of an
atomic bomb and tries to discourage him
from using one. Alas, this attempt failed.
August 1945 Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Einstein is deeply shaken and writes a letter
the UN, urging them to form a world
government. Einstein got more active in
politics and used his fame to end arms and
promote peace.
1955 Einstein dies. He's celebrated as a visionary,
world genius and scientific genius.
