Gone yet not forgotten.
These are famous actors/actresses, and creators
who are gone, yet who'se memory still lives on.
Albert Einstien
As a small boy Einstien was self-sufficient and
thoughtful. At first he was a slow talker taking time to piece together what he wanted to say. He liked building
card houses and his sister remembered the concentration and preservierance that went into each one. Although he got
good grades )(outstanding in mathmatics) Einstien hated the high school he was sent to in Munich and quit school
at 15 yet continued his home studies. Some say that being a Jewish boy in a catholic school was hard for Einstien or
resistance to authoritarian German teachers. It was at the Swiss college in Aarua that his focus turned to the theory of electromagnatism.
Later after graduating he realized Physics was his true study, yet if not for the notes of Marcelle Grossman a friend who
spent his time in the classes while Einstien was in the lab or libraury then he wouldn't have come so far. After struggling
he got a job at the patent office in Bern this gave him the freedom he needed to publish scientific papers. He and a few other
colleges formed the Olympia Academy mocking the official bodies that dominated science. He is said to have three ofspring
with a Serbian woman Mileva Maric who he married in 1903 yet his mind for science pushed her away. He later married his cousin
Elsa Lowenthal. It wasn't until september of 1909 that he came up with the formula that would lead to the equation of E=mc2. This lead him to explore the pysics of gravity and use mathmatics that he thought he would never
use. He predicted the appearance of stars as relative to an eclipse. This made him reconized as a symbol of new
pshysics.Einstien was a very political man as well and signed on as a member of the German Democratic Party on Nov 16
1918 becoming a German citizen, and in 1922 he joined the German League for human rights and was attracted to a numer of their
causes, becoming a defender of sorts. Also in 1922 he accepted the Nobel Prize in physics. He left Germany in
1932 a bit befor Hitler came into power, he renounced his citizenship. He came to the United States and to
the Institute for Advanced Study in Princton in October 1933. In 1952 he was offered the presidency of Isreal, yet he
declined.
