Albert Einstein was one of the most influential people in the twentieth century. One hundred years later, we’re still using his equations, theories, and discoveries today. Albert Einstein was able to take a big stand in history. Taking a stand means to take a firm position in an issue. Einstein took this stand with his theory of relativity. Albert Einstein took a stand in history when he refused to give up proving relativity which carved a pathway to modern science.
Einstein had some hardships in his life, but eventually worked through them and became very successful. Albert Einstein was a German born American physicist who was born on March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany, and he lived to be 76 years old. He died on April 18, 1955 in Princeton, Massachusetts. …show more content…
One paradox is known as the twin paradox. The twin paradox is when there are two twins, and one twin goes around a star and back. The time changes, but seems to stay the same for both of them, however their clocks are different. The twin that came back is younger than the other twin that stayed on Earth. Another very interesting paradox is the grandfather paradox. It goes like this: there is a family; a grandfather, his son, and his grandson. His grandson finds out how to make a time machine. Then, his grandson goes back in time and kills his grandfather. Then, his son could not have been born, and his grandson could not either. This means that the time machine could not have been built,which means that the grandson could not have gone back in time to kill his grandfather. This is a paradox that no one has been able to solve. These paradoxes bring up many questions.
Einstein made some other important scientific accomplishments. His work is part of the reason why we have cosmology and what it is. Another big thing scientists are able to do now is predict black holes with relativity. Einstein, over one hundred years ago, was able to predict black holes with his theory of relativity. Also because of Einstein, the atomic bomb has been developed. Once Einstein found out that something inspired by his work was being used for war though, he became very sad about
