Albert Einstein, born on March 14, 1879 at Ulm, Wurttemberg, Germany. We know about his valued contribution to Physics and that E= mc2 got him the Nobel Prize in 1921. But, most of us remain oblivious to the fact that this day marks the 120th birth anniversary of Albert Einstein.
In 1999 Time magazine named Einstein the “Person of the Century”. Four of Einstein’s publications in 1905 radically changed the way physicists viewed the world. They are together known as the Annus Mirabilis Papers (Annus mirabilis meaning “wonderful year” in Latin).
According to wikipedia.org, in 1924, Indian Physicist Satyendra Nath Bose sent a statistical model to Einstein. This model proposed that light could be understood as a gas. Consequently, Einstein published the Bose-Einstein condensate phenomena.
When Einstein died in 1955 of internal bleeding, the Princeton Hospital pathologist Thomas Stoltz Harvey removed Einstein’s brain for preservation, in hope that the neuroscience of the future would be able to discover what made Einstein so intelligent. Today, after52 years of his death, Einstein still lives as the 2001 aestroid Einstein, as the chemical element 99 einsteinium and as the Einstein, a unit used in photochemistry.
