Albert Einstein

Albert Shows his happy and fun side.

A hero is someone who works his life for the greater good of the world. It takes much more than that. Albert Einstein embodied many of these characteristics and more. He shaped our modern world with his theories and his great struggle to make the world a better place. His work changed our world and because of his theories we no longer look at time or space in the same way.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm Germany in 1879. As a young student he had much trouble with his teachers; he described them as “drill instructors”. (Oxford) Later he applied to ETH and failed to gain entrance multiple times, although his scores in math and physics were outstanding.(oxford) After working at a patent office for two years he started to work on theories about space and time; there was born his most famous work.(Don) After WW2 started he quickly fled Germany and left for America. (Don)

Albert as a young adult

Albert Einstein shows that he is a hero because of the theories that he created. His theory, the Special Theory of Relativity, enlightened as to how time changes from person to person by their point of view. (Lectures) This shocked the world. He completely changed our view of time scientifically proving the question that many have wondered for years. Furthermore Albert’s theories were the basis of many new ideas and modern items such as, nuclear power. (Lectures) The theory “E = mc2” is the reason nuclear power was even considered as a logical power supply.(Don) In conclusion Albert Einstein is a hero because without him we would be nowhere near as understanding and technologically advanced as we are right now.

Albert Einstein was also a hero because of his humanitarian efforts. Albert Einstein was a popular man and he used his popularity to help invoke many peace talks.(Howard) Albert Einstein was born a Jewish man and after Israel was founded after WW2 he attended many peace talks with many Middle East countries and helped negotiate peace.(Howard) He was even offered the position of being the prime minister of Israel.(Howard) This shows that he cares about human life and peace. Furthermore Einstein was actively involved in the cancellation of nuclear weapon building. (Oxford) His favorite statement was “I don’t know what World War 3 will be fought with but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones”. (Oxford) This shows that because of nuclear weapons the world would not survive another war. This shows how much that he urged for nuclear weapons to be banned and for nuclear energy to be used for only good causes.
