study.

You must have heard of the formula E=mc2. This is still the most famous scientific formula ever worked out. It remains an important cornerstone of science, and devising it made Albert Einstein famous.

Before he published his calculations in 1904 that showed why E= mc2, scientists around the world strongly believed that E=1/2 mc2. Today, a high school physics student can do the calculations and understand what Albert Einstein did to become famous.

Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family in Germany on March 14, 1879. He only started to speak when he was 5. Young Einstein did not do well at school because he didn?t work hard in the classes that bored him. As a result, many people thought that he was stupid. Eventually he became interested in science and tried to discover a law of physics that would explain how everything in science works.

In 1922, he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics. Later, he moved to America and became a professor at Princeton University. In 1939, Einstein, together with Leo Szilard, a Hungarian-American physicist, wrote a letter to the U.S. president, F.D. Roosevelt, saying that America should develop an atomic bomb before the Germans did. This letter resulted in the development of atomic bombs that would be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.

Einstein died at Princeton, New Jersey, on April 18, 1955 before he could find out exactly how the universe worked.

Einstein published over 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works. Most of his ideas are still used by many scientists today. His name “Einstein” has become synonymous with genius.

. B. he built the first atomic bomb ever
