Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879.  He was best known for his expertise in physics.  In modern time, the word “Einstein” is also know as genius. Albert Einstein was a great contributor to science. Without him, world would not be same as we see today. Albert Einstein, perhaps the one of the greatest minds in the world of history.  He has contributed so much to science, math, and humanity.

As a child, he did not learn to speak fluently until he reached age of nine.  Despite this, he was still ranked first in elementary.  By age of 11 he has already mastered geometric.  Compare to typical teenagers, he dislike school so he wanted dropped out and begin teaching himself about math and science.  He was able to learn more on his own than in school.   He wanted to skip the high school and attend technical university, however, he failed the art portion of entrance exam.  After failed attempt to skip high school and attend technical university, he moved to Switzerland to complete high school and eventually graduated from university with degree in physic.    Addition to education, he also studied and played violin which he found it much of enjoyment and relaxation.  Often time he would seat near lake playing violin, it that he began to imagine, began to wonder and unfold the mysteries know to humankind.

In 1902, his father found him a job at the patent office as assistance examiner.  While he was working he was also conducting this own research in his spare time on physics. Three years later he published five papers in which he quickly established reputable scientist. He continued to publish papers on theories, laws of science and simply created new standards for science.  One of this publication on the theory of relativity which was so advance at that time that only two scientist in fact understood.  In same time frame he published other papers on quantum law and emission and absorption of light which won him the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921. 

Perhaps what made Albert Einstein the greatest scientist was probably how perceive thing, how his taught process worked, and how he think creatively.  Creative process has four stages, searching for challenges, expressing the particular problem or issue, investigating it, and producing a range of ideas.  The first stage, searching challenges require one to think imaginary, dream, and constantly searching for challenges.  The second stage is expressing the particular problem or issue. One must be able to express the problem which will provide the most helpful idea. The third stage is investigating where one must be able to obtain information needed to deal effectively with the problem.  The final stage is producing ideas. In this stage one would produce enough idea which will allow one to decide which action to take.  These four steps are known as Creative Process. Albert Einstein successfully used all four steps of creative process as part of this thinking through out his lifetime. He has spent majority of his lifetime producing idea and theory which are still being using in modern science. Albert Einstein was a visual thinker, non-linguistic thinking which “involve thinking beyond the definition of language and has many personal referents to meaning which cannot be translated.” (Wikipedia, 2007)

Albert Einstein was perhaps the greatest sciences of all time for his contribution to the physic, philosopher of science and as humanitarian.  Time Magazine honored Albert Einstein as person of the century.  Without Albert Einstein, the world not be as we see today.
