The Life of a Genius: Albert Einstein's Contributions to World
My role model that I chose was the genius Albert Einstein. To start off, Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879. He died about 76 years later. He lived in many places such as Munich, Italy, and Switzerland. Albert had 4 people in his family, 1 sister, and no brothers, sadly. His sibling’s name was Maja Einstein. Albert was the oldest, and Maja was obviously the youngest. In this essay, I will tell you all you need to know about this extraordinary man.
No one is born with the innate ability to do complex mathematical equations. Even Einstein got off to a rough start. When Einstein started school, he was told by his teacher that he would never amount to anything. Determined to prove his teacher wrong, Albert worked very hard at math, and in time exceeded the skills of his university going student, who was his cousin. Still, Einstein pressed on, learning even more, Young Albert, who was working very hard, didn’t do much other than study. After all that, his fame and glory was not immediate.
When he did become famous, both good and bad things happened to him. For example. In 1921, Einstein got the Nobel Peace Prize for physics. Actually, he was elected for it in 1921, but he got the prize in 1922. The actual wording used for his reason for getting the nomination was “for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” The photoelectric, just for clarification, is the banishment of electrons from a material, usually a metal, caused by light. Before that even, Einstein had to suffer the emotional blow of having his child taken away with his ex-wife, Mileva Maric, who had recently gotten divorced with him. They had gotten divorced because he was always working, and Mrs. Einstein said they would only get divorced if Einstein got the Nobel prize, which he did, and gave all the money to her. That put even more pressure on poor Albert, whose son’s future was riding on this award. Next, almost twenty years later, Albert Einstein made a discovery that would change the world as he knew it. He made a theory for a bomb had never been imagined by anyone before that. It has been called the A-bomb, the nuke, but it’s most common name is the Atom Bomb. This discovery was huge for America’s fight with Japan during World War II.
The man we know as Albert Einstein has made a huge difference in the world today. For example, He taught us about atoms. Back in his day, most people didn’t believe or know about atoms. But, Einstein took very precise measurements of an atom and proved that they did exist. He made lots of theories. Some of his most notable theories are the theory of relativity and the atomic theory. The most notable of these two is the theory of relativity, which is often associated with time travel.
In conclusion, Albert Einstein was a genius but did not always make the smartest decisions. Einstein didn’t do well in school at first, worked hard, and started to embrace his genius. Next all of his hard work had paid off, and he got A LOT of awards, but he had challenges also. Also, he has made a big difference, because the world is a whole lot different than when he was not alive. What do you want to know more about Einstein?
