Albert Einstein



From life to laboratory: an informational document about the world’s greatest scientist;

By Gabe

Hello! I am researching Albert Einstein, the world’s greatest scientist. Today we will be talking about his discoveries, fame, and life.

It all started on March 14th, 1879; the day Albert Einstein was born. Einstein was born in Ulm, a town in Germany. He died at age 76. Einstein’s last words were spoken in German to a nurse who did not understand the language and thus are shrouded in mystery.1

Aside from that, I would like to point out that Einstein was in the “e” section in world book.2 He was also on Wikipedia.1 He was so famous that his brain was preserved by doctors.3

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new” -Albert Einstein3

Einstein’s inventions and creations are Avogadro's Number, Brownian movement, Quantum theory of light, General theory of relativity, Special theory of relativity, The Photoelectric effect, Wave-Particle duality, the relationship between mass and energy Bose-Einstein condensate, and many, many, many more.4

I am a major fan of what Albert Einstein did. I hope you are too, because if you want to research more about him, here are the sources I used:

Issac Newton

 


By Eli 

Issac Newton is an important person that revolutionized science forever and is somehow both underrated and overrated. 

The man, the myth, the legend Issac newton was born at 1642 and died in 1727, if you werent fast enough, he lived 84 years. A funny thing is, Issac was born on the exact same year the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei died. Issac newton’s mother was a doctor, so he had medical knowledge from a noticeably young age, however, I am unsure if this meant much of anything to his later life. Also, he built a sundial from scratch when he was nine. 

Enough about when he was a kid, let us talk about Issac when he was an adult! Issac figured out how and what gravity is, created calculus, and discovered the technicalities of light and colors, and in only 18 months! Issac created the book PhilosophiƦ Naturalis Principia Mathematica; a book about physics and philosophy, at 44 years old. Another funny thing about him is, he thought the world would end, but in a much later than you’d expect; 2060 was the date pridicted. Out of his 84 years of life, 30 of them were spent studying alchemy, which is the process of turning metals into gold. Issac thought that the wind wasunreliable,” so he made a mouse-powered windmill, and a farmer even tested it for him with corn. 

Lastly, here are just some rapid-fire facts about Issac. Albert einstein said that his achievements could've not been done without is discoveries. Just like albert, Issac newton has a special equation he made, f=ma, means mass, in kilograms, times acceleration in meters a second, is the force in the inch-pound system. In April of 1705, Issac was knighted by queen Anne, but just because they were desperate for more. 

In conclusion, Issac was and is a cool and important person that started the modern revolution 200 years before it was even a thing. Also eat apples.
