Albert Einstein

ALBERT EINSTEIN Albert Einstein is to many the brightest man that ever lived. He was born in 1889 in Germany and became interested in science when he was 4 years of age. A famous essay that he wrote when he was 16 was known as the Special Theory of Relativity and the famous equation E=MC2. He then published his famous General Theory of Relativity and in November 1921 he was given the Nobel Prize for Physics. Then in 1941 he became a citizen of the United States. Then in the year of 1939 he gave up his pacifism when he wrote a letter to the president telling him to start research on atomic weapon. Then in 1945 he wrote another letter tell what would happen if it was ever used but the letter never got to be opened. When he heard of what happen when the bomb was dropped he hated the misuse of a mathematical expression. Then on April 18,1955 at the age of 66 Albert Einstein died but he left all of his ideas and formulas. This is the reason that he is my hero because he did so much for science, which is something that I like to study about.
