Albert Einstein's Construction Of The Atomic Bomb

Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was one of the smartest men in his time. He was born on March 14, 1879 in Germany. Albert was also a Jew and he was in Germany at the wrong time. He was raised in a middle class Jewish family, and also had sister who was two years younger than him. It was during the time of Nazi controlled Europe and Albert could’ve been captured at any time. Albert was visiting America when Adolf Hitler took power over there and instead of going back to his home country he stayed in America. So he fled Germany and came to America. Princeton, New Jersey is where he would start a new chapter in his life. In 1905 Einstein determined the law of physics for all non-accelerating observers. He spent years trying to perfect this;

That’s how he began to get a name for himself by writing those articles and getting them published.

In 1939 Einstein played an important role in the construction of the atomic bomb. He signed a letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt. They needed something to keep our country safe. Einstein was pretty excited to finally use his equation (E=mc squared). He was also quite terrified because his equation was going to be used for the construction of a bomb. The ‘Atomic Bomb’ was to destroy a city in Japan named Hiroshima in the year of 1945.

Marriage Life

Albert was a ladies man, if you want to call it that. He got married to his first wife and they had their first child in 1902. A girl by the name of Leiserl. Einstein wasn’t even there to see the birth of his first child. He later found out about it from a letter that his wife Milevas father had sent him. Einstein had never seen his daughter, and no one knows what ever happened to her either. They think she may have been put up for adoption by Mileva shortly after her birth. January 6, 1903 Einstein and Mileva got married in a civil ceremony at a courthouse in Bern. About a year later Mileva gave birth to their first son, Hans

Albert Einstein received honorary doctorate degrees in science, medicine and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920 's he lectured in Europe, America and the Far East, and he was awarded Fellowships or Memberships of all the leading scientific academies throughout the world. He gained numerous awards in recognition of his work, including the Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935. While he was in school he wasn’t the smartest kid in the bunch. As a kid he failed math twice. He ended up dropping out of school at the age of
