CONTRIBUTION OF SCIENTISTS

                           ALBERT EINSTEIN

            

                       Life of Einstein

 Albert Einstein was born in Ulm in Germany on 14th March 1879

 He was always excelled at math and physics from a young age

 The 12 year old Einstein taught himself algebra and Euclidean geometry

 He independently discovered his own original proof of the Pythagorean theorem at age 12

 With a few friends he had met in Bern, Einstein started a small discussion group in 1902, self mockingly named ‘The Olympia Academy’., which met regularly to discuss science and philosophy

 He accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office

 In 1905, he obtained his doctor’s degree

 During his stay at the Patent Office, and in spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work

 In 1909, he became Professor Extraordinary at Zurich, in 1911 Professor of Theoretical Physics at Prague.

 In 1914, he was appointed as Director of Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute and Professor in the University of Berlin

 He became United States Citizen in 1940

 He died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton, New Jersey

                        CONTRIBUTION

 Albert Einstein is often cited as one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century

 His work continues to help astronomers study everything from gravitational waves to Mercury’s orbit

 The equation E=mc^2, that helped explain special theory of relativity in 1905, is famous even among those who don’t understand its underlying Physics

 Einstein is also known for his theory of general relativity (an explanation of gravity) in 1911

 In addition to the theory of relativity, Einstein is also known for his contributions to the development of quantum theory.

 He postulated light quanta(photons), upon which he based his explanation of the photoelectric effect, and he developed the quantum theory of specific heat

 He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his explanation of the photoelectric effect
