Albert Einstein: The Biography
Albert The Biography
He was the preeminent physicist of the 20th century. In fact, his name ranks among the likes of Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton on the list of history’s greatest scientists. Albert Einstein changed the way we look at the universe, and without his contributions to physics, many of the emerging theories and technologies of today might not even be possible.
Yet, Albert Einstein was also a human, just like the rest of us. He had aspirations, disappointments, joys and struggles. Many people who speak of Einstein’s genius don’t know that he had a family life, too, with wives and children, that he had interests outside of science, or that he was a world traveler.
Certainly, Einstein knew the thrill of scientific discovery. But, he also knew the joy of discovering new cultures and meeting new people. Einstein wasn’t a completely cold-hearted logician. He was as passionate about making the world a better place as he was about his work. He appreciated his own freedom and spoke out for the rights of others to have the same. He did value his solitude and had trouble getting along with other people. But, during the time he lived, he fell in love, had heartaches and regrets, and worked tirelessly to achieve the life of peace and comfort that he deeply longed for.
Although he had an amazing intellect, his achievements didn’t come easily. He tackled the most difficult subjects of his time and, at one point at least, worked himself to exhaustion. He was one of the most notable physicists of modern times, yet he was more interested in being valuable to the world than in being successful in it. He also had a playful side, which enhanced his connection with his work.
Not everyone admires Einstein’s work, although those individuals are rare. Still, there are some questions many people have about what he did. Some people now are convinced that Einstein had a part in developing the atomic bomb that was first dropped on Japan. How much truth is in this assumption? Many people may wonder, but the bottom line is that few doubt his genius.
Nearly everyone, at one time or another, wonders what it would be like to be as talented as Einstein was, or to have a child who could harness the powers of his or her mind so completely. What would it take for the world to produce another person so gifted? Was his genius innate, or did something in his environment spark his intelligence? Was he fueled by circumstance, or was it the choices he made that mattered most? What was it that set him apart from so many who struggle every day of their lives with few beneficial results?
To know what made Einstein who he was is a difficult, if not impossible task. Still, the more you know about this extraordinary man, the more you can apply his lessons to your own life. This book is a brief introduction to the life of Albert Einstein. We hope you will keep reading about him even after you finish this book. His life is not only instructive, but it is also fascinating.
Not long ago, a young boy set out to understand nature. Along the way, he learned things that no one had ever conceived before. Albert Einstein expanded our understanding of the universe in a way few have ever done before or since.
