  1. Well.... Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass–energy equivalence, E = mc 2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect."

    Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, which reconciled mechanics with electromagnetism, and his general theory of relativity, which extended the principle of relativity to non-uniform motion, creating a new theory of gravitation. His other contributions include relativistic cosmology, capillary action, critical opalescence, classical problems of statistical mechanics and their application to quantum theory, an explanation of the Brownian movement of molecules, atomic transition probabilities, the quantum theory of a monatomic gas, thermal properties of light with low radiation density (which laid the foundation for the photon theory), a theory of radiation including stimulated emission, the conception of a unified field theory, and the geometrization of physics.

    Einstein published over 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. Einstein is revered by the physics community, and in 1999 Time magazine named him the "Person of the Century". In wider culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius.




  2. just imagine if u were told that mass could be converted into energy..he was first one to show this relation ..and he is also famous for his theory of realtivity..u will find it wiered to belive it ..but its his theory..if u can spare time read his theory of relativity ..u will really enjoy reading it ..(if u like sci fi movies or novels then i am sure u will like it)

  4. His inspiration

    Einstein was fascinated by Mozart and sensed an affinity between their creative processes, as well as their histories.

    As a boy Einstein did poorly in school. Music was an outlet for his emotions. At 5, he began violin lessons but soon found the drills so trying that he threw a chair at his teacher, who ran out of the house in tears. At 13, he discovered Mozart's sonatas.

    The result was an almost mystical connection, said Hans Byland, a friend of Einstein's from high school. "When his violin began to sing," Mr. Byland told the biographer Carl Seelig, "the walls of the room seemed to recede — for the first time, Mozart in all his purity appeared before me, bathed in Hellenic beauty with its pure lines, roguishly playful, mightily sublime."

    quotes and saying of Albert

    http://quotations.about.com/cs/inspirati...

    When Albert Einstein died, his final words died with him. The nurse at his side didn't understand German.

    Albert Einstein was once offered the Presidency of Israel. He declined saying he had no head for problems.

    Einstein wasn't present in December 1922 to receive the Nobel prize in physics. Instead he was on a voyage to Japan.

    A simple compass is the instrument deemed to have shaped Einstein's career.

    His father gave it to him while he was sick in bed at the age of 5. His curiosity in the unknown thus began.
