Introduction to Albert

Einstein
Albert Einstein, a renowned theoretical physicist, is best known for his theory
of relativity and the mass-energy equivalence formula E=mc^2. His work
revolutionized the field of physics and had a profound impact on the scientific
community.

Birthplace

Ulm, Germany
Childhood
Einstein reportedly didn’t speak until the
age of two. Later in life, Einstein said his
thoughts and ideas came to him as images
rather than words.

Spark of imagination
The first spark of Einstein’s insatiable
curiosity about the world around him
occurred at age five. His father gave him a
compass, and he was fascinated by the
unseen magnetic forces that made the
needle move.
Einstein’s School Years
Bright but not talented . He disliked the
traditional school model and authority .
Math and science were two subjects in
which Einstein excelled.

Rigid school system led him to drop out of

school at 15

When he was 16, he took a college entrance

exam. He passed the math and science
portions but failed language and history.

Upon graduating in 1896, Einstein enrolled

in the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in
Zurich.

Once again, he showed brilliance in math

and science but hated attending lectures.
Early Career & Family Life

Einstein had met and fallen in love with

Mileva who was a fellow student at Swiss
Federal. Unfortunately, he could not
marry her and support a family without a
job.
‍
He tried taking on low-paying tutoring
jobs but kept getting fired.
‍
In 1902, the father of a friend helped
Einstein get a job in a Swiss patent office.
Einstein and Mileva were married the
following year(1903). ‍

But their marriage did not work out very

well and later they got divorced and
Einstein married his cousin Elsa Einstein
Annus

on his scientific
pursuits. He published
four groundbreaking

 As we all are aware that world war
brought immense destruction and
loss of lives and the consequences
are still heard and felt today. But
during this difficult time a hope was
there, the hope which led to the
formation Israel (Jewish Home).
Racial Discrimination
 Racial Discrimination

Prejudice against Jews based on

believe that they constitute a distinct
race that has inherit traits that appear
inherited inferior

Zionism
Movement to recreate a Jewish presence in Israel

Modern Zionism officially established as a political

organisation by Theodor Herzl in 1897

Believed that Jewish population could not survive if I did not

have a nation of its own
 The spark
Einstein gained widespread popularity as a scientist and used that influence to
promote more provocative ideas, this time in the realm of Zionism and social
justice for all.

In 1921, Einstein accepted an invitation from a brilliant chemist and head of

the World Zionist Organization, Chaim Weizmann, to tour the United States.
On that tour, Einstein raised funds for two of his personal passions: helping the
Jews settle in a national homeland and the establishment of a university in
Jerusalem — to be called Hebrew University.
Four years later, Hebrew University opened on Mount Scopus

 REALISATION

Year 1933 helped Einstein understand that fighting for one’s mere
existence is not possible through inaction.
True to that principle, throughout the 1930s Einstein lobbied for the
civil rights of African Americans in the US as well as for increasing
the number of emigrant scientists, artists, and others endangered by
the Nazi regime throughout Europe. And he continued to support
efforts for a Jewish homeland.

Einstein supported a fundraiser for the Hagana, the core of the Israel Defense
Forces (IDF) by writing a letter, which would be auctioned off at the event.
Famous Inventions
 GPS
Most ISPs and mobile phone masts use GPS to
set the time. And with each GPS satellite
containing several atomic clocks, your
computer and mobile phone clocks are ultra-
accurate.
Without that accuracy, you'd probably be late
(or early) for every meeting.
Imagination is more
important than knowledge
Albert Einstein
Views about Knowledge
He Believed that information that what is written in books are
not important instead imaginations he believed that traditional
schooling system is insufficient to develop the spark of
imagination as it is based on fixed curriculum and treats
everyone as equal. But this treatment kills the true idea of
imagination

Every time he thinks of something he thinks of the image or

picture and not word he believed that students need to be
encouraged to imagine and explore new avenues.
 Lasers
Einstein's discovery of the physical principle was
responsible for light amplification by stimulating
the emission of radiation (the long-winded way of
saying laser) that made these devices possible.
