Einstein’s Point of View When you think of Albert Einstein what do you imagine? A crazy, old chemist with white hair that stands straight up? Well, Albert Einstein was a chemist with crazy white hair, but he also was a chemist who wanted to help America with the use of his knowledge and different point of view. In his letter to President F.D. Roosevelt, he uses his knowledge and outside perspective of the subject of uranium to address the problems with the element and ways to improve.…
Albert Speer was born in 1905; in the city of Mannheim located in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany. Albert had been raised in the small township of Heidelberg; he was the second of three boys. His father, Albert Friedrich Speer, was a highly successful architect and his mother Luise Mathilde Wilhelmine Hommel was the daughter of a very wealthy businessman. Albert was nine years old at the time when World War One broke out, though he was too young to fight at the time as so were his brothers.…
Albert Speer was born in 1905 the second of the three sons. He belonged to a wealthy family attending a exclusive primary school. As a child he and his brothers were forbidden to play football in the park or streets and also he had a poor relationship with his parents as he felt they had little time or love for him. Albert Speer developed a dizzy spells and often fainted, he was diagnosed as having “a weakness of the vascular…
The A-Bomb, one of the most deadly bombs in history, was being researched by Hitler. He would have beaten America to it if it weren’t for Einstein's letter to President Roosevelt. Although Einstein later regretted sending the letter, It prioritized the production of the bomb using a famous scientist's reputation, increased interest in a bomb and started work on the bomb. If he had not sent the letter, America may have not built the bomb in time to stop Japan, possibly not at all.…

Imagine if you got lost in a town, you would use a GPS to help you. But if Einstein never found out Relativity, then you would have a hard time finding your destination. Einstein’s Relativity changed the world because his equations and theories help make nuclear power plants and the GPS. Relativity is not only used in daily life, but also used extensively by aero-space-scientists. For example, The Precession of Mercury’s orbit can only be accurately predicted by Einstein’s Relativity and not the Newton’s law (General Relativity). Einstein’s Relativity is not only a more accurate way to describe the physical world than Newton’s law, but also have a daily impact on life.…
In “Einstein’s letter to the President”,Einstein is afraid of what uranium could do in the near future. He knows of its power and what it could be used for and how dangerous this metal can be. Einstein also doesn’t want Germany to get ahead of America on this project because he knows what Germany will do if they have a weapon of this power. As Einstein quoted in his letter “This new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs” which means that this weapon may be used for mass destruction and wipe out anything or everything in it’s blast radius. Einstein also believes that this element could cause many problems in the world’s future.…
The Einstein Letter is a letter to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed by Physicist Albert Einstein to inform Roosevelt of Germany’s plans to develop uranium weapons to use against America. This letter was written on August 2nd, 1939 by physicist Leó Szilárd and a group of other physicists at Columbia University in New York, which was read, agreed upon, and signed by Albert Einstein. It is a primary source intended to be viewed by Roosevelt in regards of using such a weapon and Germany’s likelihood of being able to produce a nuclear weapon of the sorts. Einstein was decided to be the best person to sign such a letter for his internationally known prestige in physics and his personal relations to the Roosevelt family. The letter reached…
Alfred the Great ruled between the years of 871- 899. He was a son born to Aethelwulf, King of Wessex and his queen, Osburga, in 849 in Wantage, Berkshire London. He was born of the royal house of the Jutes of Wight. He was the fourth son born and had one younger sister. He became king only after each of his older brothers had ruled for some time. When he did rule he ruled at a time that they were battling the Vikings. In his period of ruling he defended the Vikings and became the dominate ruler of England.…
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany in 1879. His notable contributions included helping to develop the special and general theories of relativity. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. He died on April 18, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey.…
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist born in Germany in 1879. He developed many scientific breakthroughs, which impacted the world as it is today. His mass-energy equivalence formula was crowned the most famous equation. In 1921 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. The name Einstein has become practically synonymous with the word genius. Einstein once said, “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has it’s limits.”. Einstein was a creative man, this led him to be such an innovative scientist. In 1955, Einstein died from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. A study of Albert Einstein shows that he was a very controversial man, due to his involvement in the creation of the atomic bomb, the possibility that he was autistic, and his scandalous personal life.…
Although he won plenty of awards in his career, the most important was the nobel peace prize. Oakes says, “When his prediction that a ray of light from a distant star passing near the sun would appear to be bent slightly, in the direction of the sun, was observed to be correct during a solar eclipse in 1919, Einstein gained international fame. In 1921 Einstein won the Nobel Peace Prize in physics.” (3) Other than achieving the highest honor of the Peace Prize, he spoke at many universities inspiring many students (Ehrhardt 260). These achievements and speeches pronounced him to be named the greatest scientist to ever live since Isaac Newton (Ehrhardt 260)! He forever changed theoretical physics and is remembered as a genius because of this. The upheaval was so large he was handed his doctorate from Manchester University (Forman 75). He revolutionized the 1920’s and was an idol to all young students. He goes down in the books as the greatest scientist to ever live and will forever be…
At the age of 12 Einstein picked up a geometry book he referred to as his “holy booklet” and used it to teach himself geometry as well as become familiar with the current scientific discoveries of his time. At the age of 15 the Einstein family moved to Milan, Italy after…
Albert Einstein, a well-known physicist, wrote a letter to a 6th grade student, Phyllis Wright, in response to her question as to whether scientist pray, and if so, what they pray for. The reason she would have most likely be asking this question is probably because the world at the time is going through tough times such as The Depression and it also being post World War 1 era. Einstein’s response to Phyllis’s question was ineffective because it lacks ethos, pathos, and it did not give a straight forward answer to the question.…
