Albert Einstein is perhaps the most amazing scientific mind the world has ever seen. Few people (with the exception of Newton, Hawking, etc.) in the history of the world compare to his superior genius. Albert Einstein not only changed the scientific community forever, but changed every-day life as we know it.
Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany in March 14, 1879. He had a troubled childhood as most people know. From the time he was very young, he had a deep seeded interest in math and science. At times, he got so board with his schoolwork he stopped doing it and consequently failed math. Einstein’s mathematics professor, Hermann Minkowski, got so angered with Albert’s lack of interest in the class; he called Einstein a “lazy dog.” From the time he was very young till his death, he would only study what he wanted to. When Einstein was in college, he often got upset because the Physics Professors only covered the “Old Physics” and Einstein wanted to learn about the “New Physics.”
Einstein’s life after college was nothing to brag about either. He passed his math and physics examinations with flying colors but could not find a job. He applied to many different jobs, but it seemed like no matter what he did he could not land one. His family was also getting worried about him. On April 19, 1901, Einstein’s father, Hermann Einstein, wrote a letter Professor Wilhelm Ostwald at the University of Leipzig, telling the Professor that Einstein was an outstanding man who would be a great asset. Einstein was looking for an Assistant position, which would allow him to continue his studies in theoretical and experimental physics. The letter did nothing. And Einstein went jobless for over eight months after graduating from the Zurich Politechnikum. Then in June 1902, Einstein got a job at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern with the title of “Technical expert third class.” Devamını Oku…
