  1. Albert Einstein By Justin Burgess & Joe m. Gutierrez 1st period

  2. Early life of Einstein • Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, in the kingdom of Württemberg, in the German empire on March 14th 1879. • Einstein may have had speech difficulties when he was younger, but that didn’t effect his scientific brain in anyway. As Albert grew older, he experimented by making models, mechanical devices and showed keen interest in mathematics.

  3. The move to the United States. • In 1933, Einstein and his current wife, Elsa Einstein, emigrated permanently to the US. • After two frustrating years of searching for a teaching post, a former classmates father helped him secure a job, at the patent office, in Bern. Much of his work at the patent office related to questions about transmissions of electric signals, and electrical-mechanical synchronization of time. Two technical problems that led to his radical conclusions about the nature of light and the fundamental connection between space and time.

  4. Becoming a citizen and helping the country • Einstein became an American citizen in 1940, but in 1939, he alerted president Franklin D. Roosevelt about the possibility of Hitler, and his scientists, being close to finishing the “race to build an atomic bomb”, and that Hitler was more than willing to use such a weapon. This alert was said to be the wake up call for the US to seriously investigate atomic weapons, before the start of world war two.

  5. The scientist within. • Einstein’s special theory of Relativity stemmed from an attempt to bring together the laws of mechanics, with the laws of the electromagnetic field. • With publishing his paper on this theory, his contributions to the problems of the theory of radiation and statistical mechanics, during the time, are still remembered.

  6. Albert Einstein’s most important achievements • His most important works include the Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, Relativity (English translations, in 1920 and 1950), the General Theory of Relativity in 1916, the Investigations on Theory of Brownian movement in 1926, and The evolution of physics in 1938.

  7. That one famous line • E=mc2, Einstein first thought of E=mc2 in 1905, in one of his Annus mirabilis papersentitled “does the inertia of a body depend on its energy content?” and the equivalence is described by the famous equation: E=mc2. • Einstein has changed our lives today by his brilliance, teaching us how limited we were in the field of mathematics and science, he has changed the way we look at space and time, and for that, he deserves a statue… oh wait, he has one.
