ALBERT EINSTEIN and the ATOMIC BOMB The physicist Albert Einstein did not directly participate in the invention of the atomic bomb. But as we shall see‚ he was instrumental in facilitating its development. In 1905‚ as part of his Special Theory of Relativity‚ he made the intriguing point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light squared). The atomic bomb would clearly illustrate

The majority of the teachers are highly educated‚ so that gives us the opportunity to learn more things through the experience they have and as Albert Einstein said ’ ’The only source of knowledge is experience ’ ’.

It is no doubt that when thinking of such ideas and philosophies it is easy to first think of the big philosophers such as Newton‚ Plato‚ and even Albert Einstein who gave us the Theory of relativity‚ but hidden in the middle is James Clerk Maxwell. James Clerk Maxwell may not be a household name when it comes to scientists‚ but his contributions to the field ranks him with some of the great scientists

people because youth are much more able to adapt to change then the elderly. Others would argue that intelligence is how many facts a person can retain in his or her head. For instance Albert Einstein was able to hold many facts in his head so would that make him intelligent? It is generally a fact to say that Einstein was a genius‚ far more than just intelligent. But to call someone intelligent just because they can recollect a large amount of facts would not be a right thing to do. For example‚ my

Classification Analysis of William Golding‘s “Thinking as a Hobby” “Thinking as a Hobby‚” by William Golding‚ is a prime example of division and classification.

In November of 1919‚ at the age of 40‚ Albert Einstein became an overnight celebrity‚ thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his theory of gravity‚ General Relativity. General Relativity was the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac Newton’s‚ more than two hundred and fifty years earlier. Einstein became a hero‚ and the myth building began.
