CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY

"The mind equals a parachute; it only works if it opens" Albert Einstein

Today, he is considered as one of the few scientists who invite us to the wonderful world of knowledge through study. Hans Albert Einstein Koch was born in Germany on March 14, 1869, zodiacal Pisces sign. At the beginning of Jewish religion, but later became agnostic.
Although his colleagues and teachers treated him badly in school because of his difficulty in expressing himself and his shyness, he was not intimidated and managed to finish his studies with honors thanks to his passion for violin and algebra, which were his greatest happiness.
He and his family decided to leave their country, because of the lack of work and the rise of Nazism, causes that led to depression only 16 years, which facilitated their departure from Germany, to change the air and go to Russia.
Due to his continuous analytical and impatient personality, he could not get a fixed job as a teacher, but the father of his best friend, Marcel Grossmann, helped him find a job at the Swiss Patent Offices in Bern in 1902, where he also had problems with the boss, but he taught him to "express himself correctly".
An imaginative person, because he asserted that the imagination is more important than the knowledge, always followed his intuition. Although generally credited with creating the atomic bomb, he further differentiated himself by feeding the creativity necessary for the scientific innovation of his time.
If we go a little further, we find a personality almost as impressive as his work in theoretical physics, especially in the theory of relativity.
Einstein believed in a world of simplicity and harmony. One aspect of his personality that deeply impressed who knew him was his sense of humor.
He considered himself a lonely traveler, always considering three ideals: beauty, kindness and honesty, which illuminated his way and provided him with the courage to face life.
Right up to his last hours he was involved in activities for the benefit of mankind. Together with Bertrand Russell it was proposed the writing of a statement by recognized scientists, alerting on the danger of nuclear weaponry.
In conclusion, Albert Einstein stands out for his nonconformist personality, his rebellious instinct, his curiosity, his passions and detachments. Despite his reputation as a distant person, he was actually passionate about both his personal life and his scientific pursuits.

BIOGRAPHY

"Life is very dangerous, not for the people who do evil, but for those who sit to see what happens." Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born in the village of Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879; Died on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, United States. He was a physicist of German origin, later nationalized Swiss and American. He is considered the most important scientist of the 20th century, besides being the best known.   In 1905, being an unknown young physicist, who was employed in the Patent Office of Berne, in Switzerland, he published his theory of special relativity. In it he incorporated, in a simple theoretical framework, based on simple physical postulates, concepts and phenomena previously studied by Henri Poincaré and Hendrik Lorentz. Probably the most well-known equation of physics at the popular level is the mathematical expression of mass-energy equivalence, E = mc², deduced by it as a logical consequence of this theory. That same year published other works that...

IMPORTANTS EVENTS

"There is a motive power more powerful than steam, electricity and atomic energy: the will." Albert Einstein Albert Einstein has been considered one of the most important physicists of all time. His work was not limited to the field of physics, but he had concerns about philosophical issues. In 1901 appeared the first scientific work of Einstein: it was about the capillary attraction. He published two papers in 1902 and 1903 on the statistical foundations of thermodynamics, corroborating experimentally that the temperature of a body is due to the agitation of its molecules, a theory still discussed at that time. Einstein became famous internationally after the publication of his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905. This publication was supplemented by two texts that laid the foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Statistical Physics. In 1905 he finished his doctorate presenting a thesis titled a new determination of the molecular dimensions. That same year he wrote fo...
