Albert Einstein, a bright man, is my hero. He has done lots of discoveries in his life that broaden people’s minds. He proved that Newton’s theory about space and time affecting gravitational pull was wrong, he says that time and distance affects gravitational pull. This demonstrates that if Albert hadn’t proven Newton’s theory wrong, students would be learning wrong things in science courses. Also, he has proven that energy and matter are linked together that created the equation E=mc2, energy in the body is equal to mass of that body times speed of light squared. This illustrates that with his brilliant thinking, scientists would have a better understanding of things in nature.

Albert Einstein didn’t become famous just because of his discoveries, but through his life style as well. During the 1920s he was awarded Nobel Prize in Physics. Moreover, he sent a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning him about Hitler’s rise to power during World War II. In my opinion, Albert is a hero because he helped warn citizens in the United States about Hitler; however, he didn’t help invent the creation of the nuclear bombs. After World War II, he became a leading figure in World Government Movement, and was offered as Israel’s President; nevertheless, he declined the presidency offer. All these show that Albert Einstein is a hero because of his great works; proving and discovering theories in our world about science, for science is everywhere.
