ALBERT EINSTEIN

BACKGROUND



Einstein was born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany
on 14th march 1879. He began his schooling in
Munich. He continued his education in Italy an
Switzerland.
He gained his diploma in 1901 and after working as a
technical assistant in a Swiss Patent Office got a
doctors degree in 1905. He was soon promoted and
went on to become a Professor in The University of
Berlin. He was highly praised for his extra-ordinary
thinking and won his Noble Prize for Physics in 1921.
Einstein died in April 1955(aged 76).
HIS FAMOUS THEORY

One of his many great inventions is his Theory Of
Relativity. He developed this new theory in 1915.
Today his theory is accepted worldwide as the
standard description. Gravity was part of his
Theory of Relativity.
HIS FAMOUS THEORY (CONTINUED)

Gravity is a force that attracts all objects towards
each other. Its been around ever since this
universe began and works the same way
everywhere in this universe, on all kinds of
objects, of all different sizes. The bigger an object
is and the closer you are to it, the stronger its
gravitational pull is. Two forces are attracted
towards each other and the gravitational pull is
what makes us always stay on the ground. Here
is an example:
HIS FAMOUS THEORY (CONTINUED)

On Earth the gravity
keeps the air around
us and everything else
from going into space.
It is the reason that
objects don’t float in
the air but fall down.
Gravity makes hot air
rise while cold air
falls, which in turn
causes wind.

Nobody really fully
understands how or why
gravity exists. Einstein
is not the first man to
find out about gravity,
Isaac Newton is, but
Albert Einstein’s theory
proved that there are a
few problems with some
of the stuff that Newton
said about gravity,
which makes Einstein’s
theory more relevant.
HIS FAMOUS THEORY (CONTINUED)

Another part of the theory of relativity is the
speed of light. Have you ever wondered what the
fastest thing in the world is? Well Einstein has
the answer, light. Einstein’s theory leads up to
the conclusion that no object, no living thing, can
ever travel faster then light. To be exact it can
travel 299,792,458 meters per second.
HOW IT HAS CHANGED OUR WORLD


Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity has helped
pave the way for the invention of many new
things that have ended up in changing this whole
world. Now a days because of the great
understanding of how the universe works,
inventors have been able to make new types of
technology like Television, Microscope, AC, etc.
If Einstein hadn’t proved that gravity is the
reason hot air rises while cool air falls down, it
might not have been possible to create the Air
Conditioner.
HOW IT HAS CHANGED OUR SOCIETY

Positive:
It has advanced the education that every one gets
and their ways of thinking. People are now all
over the world growing intelligent reading and
learning from books about this theory.
Negative:
Now people can just find out everything by
searching, because of this theory coming out.
People don’t have a lot of things left to think
about.
