4 WHY ALBERT EINSTEIN WAS FAMOUS?
3- Einstein saw a wonder when he was four or five
years old a magnetic compass. - The needle's northward swing, guided by an
invisible force, impressed him. - The compass convinced him that there had to be
"something behind things, something deeply
hidden."
- March 14, 1879
- Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany
4Albert as a Student
- Einstein knew, from then on, that he wanted to
teach math and Science at a University
someday. - The problem was, he wasnt a very
good test-taker and could not get a job at a
University because of it. - Rumor has it that he
had even failed a Math test, but some people
question that because of the way grades were
assigned back then.
1905
Albert Einstein develops his Special Theory of
Relativity. He did this while working as a Patent
Clerk in Germany. He wasnt really even a
scientist at the time.

6EINSTEIN CONTINUED HIS GENIUS IN 1905
7- In 1907, Einstein begins to apply the laws of
gravity to his Special Theory of Relativity. - In 1911, he finally gets a job as a Professor of
Physics at the German University.
- In 1910, Einstein addressed a basic question
"Why is the sky blue?" He approached the problem
by looking at the effect of the scattering of
light by individual molecules in the atmosphere. - In 1913, Einstein begins work on his new Theory
of Gravity.
- In 1915
- Einstein completes his General Theory of
Relativity. - Einstein challenged the way the world thought
about gravity and Sir Isaac Newton himself - by
describing gravity as the warping of space-time,
not a force acting at a distance.
8Einsteins new Theory of Gravity
9 A solar eclipse proves Einstein right, and he
becomes an overnight celebrity. An experiment
had confirmed that light rays from the sun were
deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the
amount Einstein had predicted in his theory of
gravity, General Relativity.

13WHY ALBERT EINSTEIN WAS FAMOUS?
- He is most famous for the atom bomb, which he
regretted. Also for his work on Brownian motion
and formulating his Special and General Theories
of Relativity which included the famous
equation, Emc² and gravity and space time
curvature. The special and general theory of
relativity, Emc2, reveals the equivalence of
mass and energy. When Einstein applied his theory
to gravitational fields, he derived the "curved
space-time continuum" which depicts the
dimensions of space and time as a 4-dimensional
surface where massive objects create valleys and
dips in the surface. This aspect of relativity
explained the phenomena of light bending around
the sun, predicted black holes as well as the
background radiation left from the Big Bang. For
his work on relativity, the photoelectric effect
and black body radiation, Einstein received the
Nobel Prize in 1921. Albert Einstein also worked
on the atomic bomb project. He is also famous for
creating this quote Insanity is expecting
something different in doing the same thing over
and over. - I am here today with one of the worlds most
renowned scientists, Albert Einstein. Known for
his intuition, and curiosity, Einstein made
tremendous contributions to the scientific world.
14Famous Einstein Quotes
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never
tried anything new."
"If A equals success, then the formula is
AXYZ. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your
mouth shut."
