Albert Einstein Inventor of Theory of Relativity

Biography of Albert Einstein

Early Life

Albert Einstein proposer of theory of relativity was born in a German city, Ulm on 14^th March, 1879. His teenage was spent in Munich. He was a very reserved kind of child in his child hood who didn’t talk much. As we know that he was a great physicist who proposed tremendous theories but in his young age he was very much attracted to nature and liked the tricky theories of arithmetic. His father had an Electric store in Germany but they left Germany when Einstein was 15 years old because their business was not running well. He got his early education from Switzerland and was later enrolled in a college in Zurich but he was not considered a good student. In 1900, he got the graduation degree from there and in 1902, he started a job.

Contributions

He wrote some thesis about physics and size of molecules and he was awarded a doctorate degree as a result. He proposed three important books about physics which showed the importance of physics in 20^th century. Einstein’s second publication was about light and in this book he stated that life is a set of different particles and he named these particles as photons. He said that heat emitted by light is related to photon.

Further achievements 

He proposed a specific theory about light in which he stated that the photon of light and energy of light are directly related and this theory was not accept firstly. His theory was rejected because it was going against the existing theory about light which was saying that it is an ongoing process. But he kept working on this theory and as a result his theory was proved after 10 years. He said that radiations of light are electromagnetic and this theory made him one of the reliable scientists of world of physics.

Inventor of Theory of Relativity 

The Einstein’s work in the field of physics was not limited to his publications about light and other basic things. He proposed the theory of relativity and more importantly his theory about gaining of energy by breaking down the atom.  His theory of relativity was related to dynamics of motion and the theory was basing on two general rules which were principles of relativity and principle of variance.

Theory of Relativity 

Einstein’s theory about energy emission through atom was relying on the equation E =mc2. This theory was stating that energy is equal to mass and the square of the velocity of any body. This equation became the base of nuclear energy later.

Death

Einstein was awarded Nobel Prize for his outstanding works in field of physics. He lived for more than 76 years and died in 1955. He wrote many books about physics which were published after his death and having an authenticity till now.
