E = mc^2


This year has been marked the Eienstein year to clelbrate his 100th anniversary of Annus Mirralabis. Einstein was a brilliant man, a man who revolutioned Physics. Many physicsts would definately agree, Newton and Einstein rule the world of physics. This man's work was so powerful, that no one even dared to challenge his work for at least a decade. I will be adding more information on Eienstein and his work, on forth coming days. For now, let us enjoy Einstein year.

More of his quotes
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.

Check out pictures of the genius at the Caltech photo archives. There are some cool pics of him hanging out with other famous physicists of the day.

" He was dyslexic as a child. "

brainic bro, i did leave that out in purpose. It has only been an assumption that Einstein might have been a dyslexic. As i look at his childhood, i only see a chid who was very hasitated in learning and obviously wasnt so intelligent child. But yes, i do mind missing out his love for voilin, which is started playing when he was six year old. His this voilin playing ability stayed with him, on ups and downs of his life. Like Einstein himself said, his childhood was very unimportant, so lets leave this early childhood and venture into his coming yers.

Einstein At Zurich.
-----------------------
before going to Zurich, Einstein was in Italy, after finishing a high school degree from Germany. His stay in Italy was probably his best stay, he himself noted, "the people of Northern Italy are the most civilized people I have ever met." It was on the year 1896, when he first gave up his german citizenship, because he did not want to attend the german military. He remained citizenless, without belonging to any country, for several yers.

So after few cries from his parents, Einstein Decided to give up his love for philosophy and go get a degree in Electrical Engineering. But the problem was, he did not have a high school diploma on his hand, so it was very hard to find a university. Luckily, In Zurich there existed a university which would accept students that could pass certain tests. It is known as ETH( Eidgen?ssische Technische Hochschule).He was ready for it, postively motivated, so 16 yr old einstein dared to take the test, that was designed for 18 yrs old high school passed kids. Being a genius , he did fail and did not pass. He could not pass the entrance exam.

his life after the exam on forth coming days.

Aliciaa, we have the whole yr to celebrate :P so lets control ourselves, we can have a heated disscussion on General Relativity and his equations later on, while we reach that
time period of his life. NOt far :P

Zalim, wonderful pictures. Seeing two Brilliant ppl together on a photograph has always
facinated me. I wonder," what would they be talking about ":)

His life in SchooL in Aurau
--------------------------------

After he failed the entrance examination for ETH,
Einstein got enrolled in the high school at Aurau to
prepare again for his entrance exam. This is
where his love for physics grew even stronger.
Although Einstein's genius of calculating equation
cannot be credited to anybody than himself, but here
he had found one of the best physic teacher, August Tuchschmid.

After few years he in 1896, Einstein retook the exam
he had failed, this time he passed. He was now ready to
enroll in a 4 year universtiy program.
----------------------------------------------------------
his life in college in forth coming day .-----..

4 yrs graduation Program
------------------------------

Now, Einstein was enrolled and ready to fly off.
His university life was as normal as a student's life
could be. Einstein in his college yrs also got passion
for sailing, which he had it for rest of his life. Einstein also used
to be slight arrogant and careless in his college days.
He use to forget his room keys several times and call the service for it.

While in college his interest grew more and more on theoratical physics.
Maxwell's theory,(which is big part of his Relativity Theory) did not play a
big part on his physic class, so Einstein decided to study it himself. Einstein
also studied work of many great Mathematicans, while in college, on his own.

Many college professors were very skeptical about Einstein graduation. Many
of them thought Einstein would never graduate and drop out. But at last,
he did graduate with GPA of 4.9 (dont know how accurate is this number)
out of 6. Everybody graduated from his class except Mileva Maric, who was
to be Einstein wife years later, whom he also divorced.

Einstein's life in Pattent office and his discoveries
----------------------------------------------------------------

After graduation Einstein wanted to find a teaching job,
but because of politics played by his teachers he could not find one.
The year was 1901 and Einstein had finally belonged to some country
in this world. He gained swiss citizenship. He finally found a job at
Swiss Patent Office, then at that time, in his SPARE time, he started
working on something extraordinary. Works that was to challenge Newton's
theory and give a broader perspective of light. It was in 1905 Einstein got his
Doc. Degree. Einstein's all the papers was written without any connection
to the great physicts or by going to any world famous physics library.
Einstein's work, which he had done in his spare time was to change the world.
It came out in the leading physics journal, Annalen der Physik,
in March, May, June and September. These works he presented to the physics
magazine made him a celebrity,(literally) very hard for a physician to be.

Brief on his works on the four paper, on forth coming days.

Einstein got Ph. D. at the age of 26, became professor around early 30s.

Alicia:Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

Neither Gravitation is important when you go to heart of an atom. There exists a
force called Nuclear force, quite different from gravitation. Thats very powerful
when proton, neutron are very very close and decays very fast as the distance
increases.

GP

gp you are right. Einstein got so involved on founding the Theory For Everything on his late years, he didnt even care to learn about Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces, infact he didnt not even know enough abt these forces.

There is a theory called string theory right now, it is so radical in every perspective, it says there exists a substance called graviton(which is not yet discovered) which leaks to other layers creating the force less stronger than Electromagnetic Force.

gp ko reply dekhera hattar ma reply gareko :P
continuation pachi :P

where is rest of it confused?

Canadian researchers have found that Einstein's brain was 15% wider than normal. Furthermore they have discovered that the part of Einsteins's brain was related to mathematical reasoning.the inferior parietal region was 15 percent wider on both sides than a normal brain.
Einstein's brain is owned by scientist John Harvey. Harvey was a pathologist at a small hospital in Princeton, N.J., when Einstein died in 1955 at the age of 76. Harvey performed the autopsy, determined Einstein died of natural causes and took the brain home with him.
Albert Einstein was reluctant to sign autographs, and often charged people a dollar before signing anything. He then gave the money to charity.
Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952, but he declined.
Einstein couldn't speak fluently when he was nine. His parents thought he might be retarded.

i think its interesting

Einstein became isolated in his research over a Generalized Theory of Gravitation and was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempts at constructing a theory that would unify General Relativity and quantum mechanics.

thats all for today.

alicia, i will post it later.. :P alchi lagi ra cha lamo lamo paragraph
lekhna..

tara i will be posting about Brownian motion soon :P

so khoi, timi ni add gara na alik.. :)

"einstein became isolated in his research over a Generalized Theory of Gravitation and was ultimately unsuccessful in his attempts at constructing a theory that would unify General Relativity and quantum mechanics."

alicia - that's the holy grail of modern physics - to come up with a grand theory of everything that unifies the four fundamental forces. 50 yrs since einstein's dealth, lotsa great physicists have died trying to solve this problem. and the criticism of string theory is that none of that shit can be verified experimentally, cos we are dealing with extremely small "stuff," so many reputed physicists of today, including sheldon glashow are strong critics of string theory.

looking forward to hearing more about einstein's work on brownian motion and photoelectricity.....

ya I think this theory is not going to be verified experimentally anytime soon, not by conventional means as we are talking abt it at the level of sub atomic particles.Can't believe how much energy its gonna require to study these lil tiny particles.may be length width time n height is not enough for this theory. But many mathematicians have been working on it.so hopefully one day.

Brownian motion
--------------------

This was Einstein the first major paper submitted to Annalen der Physik by Einstein.
This wasnt something new, a french mathematician had already propsed a
mathematical model for this motion, (media has hyped it making Einstein
the first one to propose this model, which is not true.) French guy's theory is
still widely known and used in many financial way.

Now, first of all, what is Brownian motion? Brownian motion is a random motion
caused by tiny particles when it is supspended in liquid or gas. The first to
experiment with this motion was botanist, Robert Brown. Then the second to
give it the theory was the French guy, Louis Bachelie. Now the most important
thing that Einstein did with this motion was he took the kinetic thoery of fluids
(which was very controversial at that time) and predicted that molecules of fluids
wud move at random ,and with it the particles creating a random movement. Now
what was amzing was, this prediction precisly solved the Brown's Puzzle!

This is a very broad mathematical theory. With help of his theory Einstein
also helped solve the mystery of atom. It was amazing till 1905 even
Chemist who relied on Periodic table questioned the reality of atom
but many scientits are beilived to be convinced after reading Einstein's paper.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
zalim and aliciaa, it is good to find freinds in sajha
sharing such interest. Yes, you know the joke they
say abt string theorits, it goes, Either you are Physicts or
a string theorist. String theory is different is every perspective,
but so was Einstein theory of Relativity(atleast in many things),
but as Nature (esclipse) helped him prove he was
right, maybe same thing will happen to String theory.
Around the world, many
labs have opned up to test this theory,
i think on Switzerland, they are building
world's largest atom Smasher to help solve this puzzle.

yea confused, i used to love this shit. when i was in high school, i used to religiously read
scientific american and physics today, although i only understood maybe 20%. I thought i would be a physicist, but when i landed in college i changed course. now i am more of an economist. btw, are/were you a physics major?

pretty nice.i had written something earlier but it said my session expired so everything got lost damn.
what abt quantum theoryof light?
Einstein's work on quanta of light provides the foundation for revolutionary ideas like our universe is composed of tiny, discrete energy n matter of light?

keep on writing more abt it
:)
