Mathematics was the iron bread to him. He couldn't solve even the simplest problems of mathematics. Teachers were hopeless to him and said that he could never learn mathematics in that epoch. His mathematics classes were always finished making him standing on a bench as a punishment to be weak and unable to solve the problem.
That dull minded fellow in mathematics was Albert Einstein now regarded as the father of modern physics. He was born at Ulm, Wurttemberg, Germany on March 14, 1879 of Jewish parents. His father Herman Einstein and mother Paulin Einstein shifted to Munich in 1880, after giving birth to him. He was shy and slow learning. He spoke out only after 3 years age. So, he was enrolled in Munich elementary school at his 6. But he did show no interest there. He took that school as jail where the rote learning was practiced.
But a compass given to him by his father was become a turning point to Einstein. He was greatly surprised on its first look. He turned the compass but again the needle showed the same direction. It really made him concentrative on an issue. He was being interested on such other fields then after. And at the age of 15 he mastered over mathematics. But his thirst of study and investigation wasn't fulfilled by the rote learning systems of school. So, he indulged must of the time in self study.
In 1902, Einstein found a job as an examiner in the Swiss patent office at Bern. It also helped him to be determined and obedient on his s works. But his first major recognition in front of the world came to the front when he published his five major research papers, in 1905, in an important physical journal. He was awarded as doctorate for his first papers, too. The first papers provided an explanation of Brownian motion, a previously inexplicable phenomenon involving the motion of small particles suspended in a liquid.
Similarly, the second paper resolved the three-century-old dispute about the composition of light. Einstein's paper proposed that light is composed of photons that sometimes exhibit wavelike characteristics and at other times act like particles. His third paper had its great significance. It came to be called The Special Theory Of Rlativity. On that paper Einstein asserted, if we can assume that the speed of light is always the same and that the laws of nature are constant, then both time and motion are relative to the observer.
Einstein's forth paper discovered perhaps the only formula of advanced physics E= mc2, which says that E the energy of a quantity mater with mass M is equal to the products of the mass and the square of the (constant) velocity of light, C. In 1916 Einstein published a paper called the General theory of Relativity where he posited that gravitation is not a force as Newton had held, but a curved field in a space-time continuum that is created by the presence of mass. Three years later in 1919 this theory was approved by the royal society of awarded Nobel Price for physics in 1921.
Einstein was a pacifist. He hated the war and feared that war would soon erupt again before the world could enjoy a secure and lasting peace. so, when Hitler took over Germany in 1933, he denounced his German citizenship and field to the United States.
There, he continued his work on General They and searched the point of compromisation to those angers. But in 1939, when he heard that two German physicists had split the uranium atom, he realized that war in itself was not the only danger. Immediately he wrote a letter to the US president Franklin D. Roosevelt warning the great threats in future. But Roosevelt rather argued with him to start he development of such a bomb in America. Consequently the Manhattan project was started but he didn't take part on it. Although, he was against of making such a bombard of interpreting his breakthrough in such a destructive concern, the atomic bombs were made applying his own theory and used to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Immediately, after the II world war, he stared to work for the world peace, disarmament and the world government. For that, he requested to the UNO time and again. Since the explosion of Atom bomb in Japan, he was sick by nature. He was mentally tortured. He must have regretted the destruction of the two great cities and the millions of people. Because of the misinterpretations and misuse of the general norms of his theory, he couldn't get real peace and after all he died on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, New Jersy.
