Question

Read the passage and summarize Einstein’s life in 75-90 words.



Fifty years after his death and 100 years after he published his ground-breaking scientific papers, his white hair and droopy mustaches still symbolize genius. Who else could it be but Albert Einstein! Einstein remains the foremost scientist of the modern era. His three scientific papers published in 1905 changed science forever. “Imagination is more important than knowledge. The more important thing is not to stop questioning.” Einstein said. His first paper for which Einstein won the Nobel Prize in 1921, described how light could behave not only like a wave but also like a stream of particles, called quanta or photons. This theory became the foundation of what is known as quantum physics. Einstein’s crowing theory was his ‘theory of relativity’ published in 1916. It stated that space and time are interdependent and the presence of matter results in a ‘wrapping’ (or twisting) of space and time. Einstein described the relationship of energy and matter by the most famous equation in all of Physics: E=mc2, energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. He once wrote, “Politics is for the moment, while……… an equation is for eternity.”





Einstein escaped Hitler’s Germany and fled to the United States in 1933. He devoted his life to humanitarian and pacifist causes. After physics, space became Einstein’s most important concern. In 1939, he wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt urging the U.S. to start a program of nuclear research and develop an atomic bomb before Germany did. His opinion contributed to Roosevelt’s decision to fund the Manhattan project that led to the atom bombs that exploded over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Einstein, however, was horrified by the explosion. He later considered his letter to Roosevelt as one of his greatest mistakes. After world war II, he urged the allies to set up a world government to control the atom bomb​
