Today (November 8, 1921) is the day Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his description of the photoelectric effect.
Albert Einstein was born on March
14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany. His parents were Hermann Einstein and his mother was
Pauline Koch. His father ran an electrochemical factory that manufactured
electrical equipment from a positive perspective. He was enrolled in a Catholic
primary school. He also learned the violin at a young age due to his mother's
persuasion. When he was five, his father showed him a compass that he could
carry in his pocket. It was at that age that he realized that something outside
of something was impacting the magnetic needle.
As a child, he had difficulty
speaking and was always focused on thinking of something. This is how Einstein
once sat alone and researched something. Seeing this, his uncle said,
"Look at your son Albert, he's researching something. He joked that he was
a researcher and a thinker. That's it, Einstein's mother's anger overflowed.
Which mother will give up her child? He did not leave his brother alone, just
as the crow is his golden chick. "He is a great thinker and a genius”.
That is why he is humble. He said that in the future he was going to become a
famous professor as if slapped in the face.
What Einstein's mother said is
one hundred percent true. Yes, he was a great thinker who later became admired
by all nations. Who lived humbly and simply until his death. He will be
negligent in dressing and grooming. He would even wear dirty clothes for
several days. He would roam the streets and festivals with uncut hair. Sometimes
he would go out barefoot and without a coat. On behalf of his remarried wife
Elsa, he wears nice clothes. Such a simple grandfather, with whom he once went
to preach, could not go with his wife Elsa. So, she took some good clothes for
her husband and put them in a box and gave them to him. I have good clothes in
this box and you should not forget to take them with you when you go to the
lecture.
Einstein listened to his wife and
returned to the show. Elsa, pleased to see her husband, was shocked when she
opened the box she had sent. Yes, the clothes he wore were intact. Angered,
Elja asked her husband why he was stacking these clothes and why he was not
wearing them. Einstein, a little worried at what Elsa had heard, smiled and
said to him, "Damn, I forgot myself. Don't be angry." Let it be I put
a question to him that I have a suspicion. It’s all about whether everyone
comes to listen to me or comes to see my dress. Sin Elsa could not answer that
at all.
Before Einstein, space and time
were thought to be separate and unrelated. Einstein, a 26-year-old technical
assistant experimenter at the Swiss Patent Office, proposed three discoveries
that revolutionized the world of physics. The revolutionary era of physics,
which was supposed to be over with Newton, was overturned by Einstein. Einstein
explained that the solution to the conflicts in physics about the speed of
light was the understanding that time, space, and mass were interrelated. This
was the basis for the emergence of the theory of special relativity.
Assuming that light is actually
made up of individual packets (Quanta), Einstein was able to explain the
mysterious effect of light. This hypothesis of the energy of light contradicts
the theory of light guided by James Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic behaviour and generally contradicts the idea that energy in physical volumes can be
further divided into infinite divisibility of energy. Even after Einstein's
equations for the photoelectric effect were proven to be very accurate, his
explanation was not widely accepted. However, when he was awarded the Nobel
Prize on November 8, 1921, it was only after his work in optics was described
that most physicists accepted that his equation was correct and that light as
possible.
The hypothesis used by the
inventors of the energy-drop mechanism emphasized the idea that wave-particle duality
that is, wave-particle duality, did not show two distinct properties of
wavelengths and particle properties. It was only after the development of the
power drop mechanism that complete clarity regarding the light-electric effect
was obtained. He has given explanations in many fields such as cosmology, atomic, quantum mechanics, and photovoltaic effect. He advanced the famous
theory of relativity and made significant contributions to the fields of
quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and cosmology.
Mehta, who was India's ambassador
to the United States, told Einstein, who had lived in the abode of simplicity
to the last, "You are like Mahatma Gandhi." Einstein replied,
"Please do not compare me with him. He has done a lot of charity for
humanity. What have I done? Somehow, I discovered some scientific theories.
That's all said, humbly. The grandfather, who said that peace is caused by a
deep understanding that it can never be caused by oppression, travelled the
same path to the end. He lived and lived in history as a life worth living for
others.
On April 17, 1955, Einstein
suffered an internal hemorrhagic caused by an aortic aneurysm in his abdomen.
Einstein refused surgery for this. I like to go when I want to. It is not
interesting to be artificially active for a lifetime. I have done my part, it's
time to go, and I’m going to do it neatly. Scientific studies have shown that
Einstein's overestimation of the brain was because parts of the
brain were large, speech and language were small, and other studies showed that
the number of neurotransmitters in Einstein's brain was increased.
