In early 1905, an unknown 26-year-old clerk at the Swiss Patent Office, Albert Einstein, published three papers of immense significance. The first concerned the interpretation of Brownian motion (proof of the existence of molecules). The second, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921, concerned the photoelectric effect (quantum theory of light). In the third, he introduced the special theory of relativity.<\/p>\n
The theory of relativity revolutionized our understanding of the world and gave new meaning to fundamental concepts such as space, time, matter, and energy. According to the theory of relativity, the dimensions of an object and the duration of a phenomenon are not the same for all observers. For example, the length of a rocket moving at very high speed and the duration of an event on the rocket are measured differently by the rocket\u2019s passengers and by an observer at rest relative to the rocket. Before this theory was formulated, matter and energy were considered separate entities. With the theory of relativity, however, it was proven that one can be converted into the other. This explains the production of energy in the Sun.<\/p>\n
The story goes that Einstein\u2019s driver used to sit at the back of the room during every lecture, and after a while he told Einstein that perhaps he could give the lecture himself, having heard it several times. So, at the next stop on the tour, Einstein and the guide switched places, with Einstein sitting in the back, wearing the guide\u2019s uniform. The driver gave the lecture flawlessly! At the end, a member of the audience asked for a detailed explanation regarding the topic of the lecture, to which the professor-driver replied, \u201cWell, the answer to that question is quite simple; I bet my driver, sitting in the back, could answer \u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n
During the time Einstein was active as a professor, one of his students came to him and said, \u201cThis year\u2019s exam questions are the same as last year\u2019s!\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s true,\u201d said Einstein, \u201cbut this year all the answers will be different.\u201d<\/p>\n
Einstein attended a concert in Germany before World War II, featuring the violinist S. Suzuki. Then two Japanese women played a German piece of music, and a woman in the audience exclaimed: \u201cHow wonderful! It sounds so German!\u201d Einstein replied: \u201cMadam, people are all the same!\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Pascal, Einstein, and Newton playing hide-and-seek. So it was Einstein\u2019s turn to be \u201cit,\u201d and while Pascal found a very good hiding spot, Newton couldn\u2019t find one. So at the last minute, he draws a square on the floor and steps inside it. As soon as he steps out, Einstein sees him and shouts, \u201cBoo, it\u2019s Newton!\u201d Then Newton jumps out and says, \u201cYou messed up\u2014wrong name! I\u2019m not Newton, I\u2019m Pascal!\u201d and Einstein was stumped..
