Albert Einstein: it’s all relative!

Everywhere you go, Albert Einstein is ubiquitous - surely everybody has a photographic memory of his theory of general relativity? Having accomplished a myriad of achievements, he is the most influential scientist in the world: he has inspired many people. Thus, how can it be that a failed student strikes a chord into the universe?

When in his youth, even an eulogized scientist like Einstein was slow in learning how to speak. Indeed, he had a miserable but interesting childhood. While sickness began to engulf him, he twisted and shook a compass, noting that whichever way he turned the compass, the needle always pointed to the north: it was at this point he began to train his lenses on physics. Additionally, he hung only three portraits of scientists at his house: Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Issac Newton who inspired Einstein. The rest, of course, is all relative.

In his life, Albert Einstein developed a penchant for solving many questions which puzzled everyone for years. For instance, solving the cause of the Photoelectric Effect was a top antecedence for scientists in the 20th century. In the time of this scientifical disaster, Albert Einstein counseled light as photons which contributed to the invention of quantum mechanics. Furthermore, E = mc2 implies gravity can bend light. Later, a horror-struck Einstein discovered this led to the invention of the atomic bomb - it was a fate worse than death. The formula also led to the invention of GPS, radar guns, and the expansion of our knowledge of space.

When people think of scientists, they usually think of serious, monotonous people dressed in white lab coats. However, this is unnecessarily the case. Albert Einstein was a fan of music(particularly Mozart and Bach) and was skilled at playing the piano and violin. Another diverting fact is that he was involved in a recondite report regarding what to do when facing aliens. Einstein was brilliant. Too brilliant as another scientist stole the brain and studied it to find the truth behind the genius. The brain had a 15% increase in size in parietal lobes which was puzzling as the brain weighed 2.7lb (1.22kg) compared to the 3lb (1.36kg) average. Perhaps he was an alien?

Albert Einstein was the scientist of the century and helped us understand the gripping mysteries of the universe and the world: his ideas and theories are still authoritative for physicists. If it was not for Einstein, the world today as we know it would disappear and the world would be disorganised. His lasting legacy in physics will continue to inspire many people for centuries on.
