Albert Einstein and his Theory of Relativity

Albert Einstein was a man who had such a great mind . He has altered the way man perceives the world armed with a pen and a . He saw farther behind nature 's drape than anyone else has ever done besides Newton , and from then on , he lived the rest of his life pulling the drape down for his humility (Pellegrini 1 . Today , when the word genius is being uttered , no one else 's face

come to mind than his

An exceptional trait appears to radiate in that gloomy and wrinkled exterior , with its tangled white hair that resembles a halo and its expressive brown eyes . The trait was that of a genius , a combination of extraordinary intelligence and thorough imagination that transported him beyond the limits of man 's long - standing scientific convictions and penetrated further into the material uncertainties of the cosmos than any man who came before him (Pellegrini 1 White 96

If there is one thing common in all things in the world , it is relativity . Time , mass , and speed are relative . Light is not weightless , space has bends , and coiled with a pound of water ' any substance , is the volatile force of 14 million tons of trinitrotoluene (Pellegrini 2 AllAboutScience .org Trefil Hazen . By the end of the twentieth century , these things have been scientifically proven , 100 because of the man with a great mind (Pellegrini 2 AllAboutScience .org Trefil Hazen White 98

Man is likely not to condemn the man for the atomic bomb , to any further extent than they condemn Noble for the dynamite (Pellegrini 2 White 98 . For it was not the quiet scientist rather the generals the world over who falsified his equation into the most horrible dagger in the history of humanity (Pellegrini 2 . At that point in time , the rest of the world has already made him into an icon , the most celebrated prophet since Newton and science 's profound soul . He is genius personified . In a hardly any stroke of sophistication he confined man 's world into that of the universe in a similar equation , and altered forever the manner man perceive the cosmos as well as themselves

It was in the year 1905 when he , the extraordinarily confident and constantly unkempt 26 year old scientist forwarded three s , written in his free time , to the leading publication , Annalen der Physik to be made available in print if there was space (Pellegrini 3 AllAboutScience .org . All three of the s have been published , and they did just what he expected they would : altered the way man perceives the world

The genius behind such breakthrough would remain anonymous for quite some time though . He turned his Theory of Special Relativity into the Theory of General Relativity which states that light has weight , and that space and time were basically space - time (Pellegrini 3 AllAboutScience .org Trefil Hazen White 100
