Did Einstein fail math? True or false?
False
How many papers did he publish in 1905?
4 papers.
What is Einstein's most famous equation?
E=mc^2
What did Einstein like to study? Subject?
Physics.
How old was Albert Einstein in 1905?
25 (Soon to be 26)
What month was the theory for Special relativity discovered?
March.
What month was the theory for Brownian motion discovered?
May.
What month was the theory for the photoelectric effect discovered?
June.
What month was the theory for Mass-Energy Equivalence discovered?
September.
The photoelectric effect is...
Einstein proposed that it could, in fact, be a particle, showing that mysterious phenomena, such as the photoelectric effect, could be explained by his hypothesis.
The Brownian Motion is...
Einstein used an ingenious argument, showing that the behavior of small particles randomly moving around in a liquid, known as Brownian motion, could be precisely predicted by the collisions of millions of invisible atoms.
Special Reletivity is...
Einstein realized that the contradiction could be resolved if it was the speed of light that remained constant, regardless of the reference frame, while both time and space were relative to the observer.
The Mass-Energy Equivalence is...
Einstein had thought a little bit more about his theory and realized it also implied that mass and energy, one apparently solid and the other supposedly ethereal, were actually equivalent.
And their relationship could be expressed in what was to become the most famous and consequential equation in history: E=mc^2.
At what age did he master calculus on his own?
15.
Why did Einstein not become what he wanted to?
Skipping classes to spend more time in the lab and neglecting to show proper deference to his professors had derailed his intended career path.
What did Einstein initially want to do after secondary school?
He wanted to get a math and physics teaching diploma.
Where did Einstein end up working?
At the Swiss patent office, obtained with the help of a friend's father.
How long did it take for Einstein to become known for his works?
Another 15 years.
What proved Einstein's general theory of relativity?
The measuring of the bending of starlight during a solar eclipse.
What was the name of Einstein's paper about politics?
"Why Socialism?"
What country did Albert Einstein have to flee? And what country did he decide to settle into after?
Germany, and the US.
In the political sector, what was Einstein known for?
He was known for his criticism of authoritarianism and totalitarianism.
What huge war was he devastated by?
What year did he start advocating for international federalism? And until when?
From 1930, until his death, in 1950.
