Did Albert Einstein have siblings?
I found that he did have a sister named Maria or Maja
Nerd poll: Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton?
'Chicken' I'm on your side :)
Did you know Albert Einstein was a pimp?
Let's face it. The man knew how to party.
Did Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein get perfect grades at the university?
Although Einstein did not flunk high school math, he did flunk a course called "Physical Experiments for Beginners" while a student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. He also had trouble with Latin and Greek. He graduated second from the last in his class as he was a genius in mathematics and barely functioning student in all other courses. Like Einstein (or, should I say that Einstein was like Newton, since Newton lived centuries before Einstein), Newton had problems learning outside of his interests, which was, again, mathematics. Many of the sources I have looked up say that Newton was an indifferent student, smart, but did not apply himself, until he stumbled on mathematics. Getting perfect grades is less genius and more the ability to focus on your studies, memorize and recall facts and information.
Were Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton both left handers?
einstein was right handed newton left handed and actually i am left handed hhiiii
Is Albert Einstein overrated and Isaac Newton is greater?
Is he? like people are saying he's the greatest scientific mind humanity has ever produced, shouldn't that description fit Isaac Newton more? I mean yes Einstein's general and special theory of relativity were revolutionary in cosmology and theoretical physics but he couldn't have done it without Newton laying the foundations first, and doesn't any theory of relativity exists at all is because they can use Newton's second law in the first place? and isn't relativity written in Calculus (which Newton invented single-handed) and founded on Reimann geometry (formulated by Bernhard Riemann) and not to mention Einstein had great difficulty grasping the mathematics of his theory
If I study really hard will I get to be as smart as was Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton?
Good thing you have a goal. Having a goal helps with getting there.Now, only working hard is not enough, even though its a good start. You also need to keep your focus and also work on other traits of intelligent people.Some say Intelligent people are born that way, but I do not agree. Intelligence is a characteristic that you can achieve by following traits that those people follow and keep it that way for a long term. There is no shortcut to being intelligent. Just because you know something with expertise doesn't make you intelligent.Intelligent people have most or all of the following traits and they keep working on these for the better part of their lives. Follow these traits long term, make it in your habit and you will be on your way of being called intelligent by others.Intelligent people ask many questions.Intelligent people read a lot.Intelligent people learn a lot.Intelligent people grasp a lotIntelligent people dig deep, they go in detail.Intelligent people focus on raising their awareness, 360 degree awareness.Intelligent people are interested in variety of things, not just one subject.Intelligent people work hard. Intelligent people experiment. They fail and fail again to achieve success.Intelligent people explore.Intelligent people stay focused.Intelligent people have fun.Intelligent people are mix of artistry and technicality - some are more artistic than technical and vice versa, but they do use both sides of their brain - logical side and artistic side.Intelligent people embrace change. They adapt very well.Intelligent have open minds - they are open to new ideas, revolutionary or otherwise. That's why they are able to set new trends. New religion or new product or new way of doing or thinking.Intelligent people think out of the box.As you can see, intelligence is a characteristic and you need to build yourself up to follow these traits to be considered Intelligent.I have posted answers to a similar questions before - check it outSanjay's answer to Can any one become Einstien?Sanjay's answer to What can I do to become smarter?
Is it true that Albert Einstein failed in mathematics many times during his school days?
Einstein was a good student in mathematics as a child, but as a young adult, he was not a star in higher mathematics, and his mathematics professor Hermann Minkowski called him a "lazy dog". The reason is that Einstein was interested in physics, and he saw higher mathematics as a distraction. He was under the impression that any mathematics he needed he could create from scratch, and this hubris has been an inspiration for physicists since.When Minkowski saw the special theory of relativity, he was astonished that such an incredible theory could come from such a bad student. It is Einstein's weakness in mathematics as a young adult which is the real source of the idea that Einstein was a mediocre mathematics student.Einstein studied mathematics seriously starting in 1909, when, motivated by the equivalence principle, he realized he needed to learn differential geometry. It took him several years, but by 1915, he was as good at it as Hilbert, or Noether, two leading mathematicians of his day. His tutor and sounding board was Marcel Grossman, with whom he developed the early sketches of General Relativity. But the final theory Einstein did by himself.In his later life, Einstein was comfortable with mathematics, so much so that his work was paid more attention in mathematics departments than in physics departments. This changed in the 1960s, as General Relativity became incorporated into mainstream physics, because it was rederived as the theory of the self-interacting spin-2 field. Today, General Relativity is quaint as physics, it's old enough to be classical. But in mathematics, it is yeilding nice results, because proving certain extremely physically intuitive facts is more difficult than would appear at first glance. Some of the more modern results are the positive mass theorem, and the local stability theorem for Minkowski space.
What would it take to become Einstein, Newton or Hawkins for a normal person?
Stephen Hawking, like Einstein and Newton before him, was of a certain breed. Einstein said that he wasn't particularly smart but that he was exceedingly curious. For example it is doubtful, in my opinion, that he would have successfully arrived at his Special and General Relativity had it not been for the input from his numerous associates, especially from the mathematician Marcel Grossmann, and his Swiss engineering friend Michele Besso. Einstein's first wife (Mileva Maric -- held an advanced degree in medicine and was just a step or two away from obtaining a Ph.D. in theoretical physics) often reviewed Einstein's science papers and mathematics before they were released for publication. Einstein didn't exactly operate in a vacuum, he had some help along the way. Nonetheless, most of the critical theory that made up the foundation of Special and General Relativity came from his own creative mind. One psychologist said: "Give me a normal healthy infant and I can turn it into a genius in any discipline you name." I believe that concept is true. I also believe that there are Einstein's born everyday, but most don't get the breaks in life it takes to become as successful as Einstein. Einstein, he was just in the right place at the right time with the right ideas. That's what separate genius from the ordinary, in my opinion. Scientist like Einstein, Newton, and Galileo were very likely born with just the right temperament style (INTJ) that gave them the tendency toward scientific discovery. So some of what it takes to be an above average scientists is indeed build into their DNA. Source: Internet.
