Albert Einstein

by Blanc from France

My hero will be Albert Einstein. He was born in 1879 on the 14th of March. During his studies, he was only good in mathematics and he decided to skip the lesson of biology or human sciences. In 1903, Einstein married Mileva Maric. For many years, he worked for an office and, at the same time, he was working hard to develop his own theory. Between 1905 and 1910 he published 4 articles which opened new waves in research on physic. After 1910 he was recognized by scientists orders. In 1916, he published the "theory of relativity" which is the basis of all the modern sciences. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.

But more than a brilliant scientist, he was a "good man." He was nominated to the title of the league of human rights. During WWI and WWII, he advocated peace and the end of violence. In 1947, he argued that the United States should not try to pursue an atomic monopoly. Up to his death, he was militantly for the disarmament of USA and USSR.

He's my hero because all the acts that he did during his life are more than important, he worked hard for his research, he was a "humane" scientist.

In summary,on account of the fact he wasn't only a primordial person to one discipline, he's very important for the sciences and the peace in the world. That's why, i chose this character.
