Albert Einstein: Rebel, failure, genius
Albert Einstein: the quintessential genius, was the developer of general theory of relativity and world’s most famous equation, E=mc 2. He received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921 and was dubbed the father of Modern Physics as we know it.
His journey started on a hot summer day when Einstein was sick in bed and his father brought him a magnetic compass. Einstein trembled when he found out that no matter how he turned the compass, the needle always pointed to the north. He was amazed by this magical needle and he spent his life exploring the mysteries of the universe.

He, however, was a nuisance in school and his teachers rebuked him for not being disciplined enough to undertake courses. In 1895, Einstein sat for the entrance examinations of the Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zurich and failed to reach the required standard in the general part of the examination. The only saving grace was Physics and Mathematics where Einstein scored a perfect score.
After graduating somehow, Einstein searched for a teaching post but to no avail. He got into the Swiss patent office as an assistant examiner but was passed over for promotion because he couldn’t master the ‘machine technology’.
All these disappointments in his personal and professional life didn’t stop Einstein from publishing his paper titled “Conclusions from the Capillary Phenomena” in the prestigious ‘Annalen der Physik’. By 1905 he completed his thesis and was awarded a Ph.D. by the University Of Zurich.
1905 was an important year in Albert Einstein’s career. Not only did he publish four revolutionary papers which changed the world but also established himself as the foremost authority in World Physics. In 1911 Einstein, based solely on calculations published the general theory of relativity which made him world famous when it was confirmed during a solar eclipse in 1919.
He's Greatest person forever for me. Love you, Einstein......
