  1. Modern Physics Course

  2. Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born at Ulm, in Württemberg, Germany, on March 14, 1879. Einstein family moves from Germany to Italy in search of better work. Early Education (middle and High School) at Aarau, Switzerland. Stayed in Boarding School in Aarau In 1896 he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. In 1901, the year he gained his diploma, he acquired Swiss citizenship . He wanted to become a teacher. He was unable to find a teaching post, he accepted a position as technical assistant in the Swiss Patent Office. at the age of three in 1882 in 1893 (age 14)

  3. Einstein also joined with two friends he made in Bern, Maurice Solovine and Conrad Habicht, to create a weekly discussion club on science and philosophy, which they grandly and jokingly named "The Olympia Academy.“ Einstein worked in this patent office from 1902 to 1909. In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree from the University of Zurich. Left to right: Conrad Habicht, Maurice Solovine and Einstein The patent office in Bern

  4. During his stay at the Patent Office, and in his spare time, he produced much of his remarkable work. Einstein realized the inadequacies of Newtonian mechanics. In 1905, he published four groundbreaking papers. after receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 • The papers were on the following topics: • Photoelectric effect • Brownian motion (random drifting of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) • Special relativity • Matter and energy

  5. Einstein in Japan, 1922 In 1922, Kaizosha, a new and ambitious publishing house in Tokyo, Japan, invited the world-renowned physicist Albert Einstein for its inauguration. Yamamoto Sanehiko, the Manager of a Publishing House. Einstein and his second wife Elsa Lowenthal boarded the Japanese steamer Kitano Maru on October 8th 1922 at Marseilles in France to visit Japan. The ship was destined for stops in Colombo, Singapore (on November 2, 1922), Hong Kong and Shanghai (13th November 1922) before entering Japan at the Port of Kobe (in Kobe on November 17). The fact that Einstein and his wife Elsa were riding on rickshaws in Colombo October 28th 1922 will surprise everyone.Einstein disembarks in Shanghai and hears the news of Nobel Prize on 13th November 1922 .

  6. Einstein in Japan, 1922 Albert Einstein being served by a geisha In December 1922, upon the invitation of Kaizosha, Japan. People were thrilled to see the newly crowned Nobel laureate and his wife.

  7. Six-hour Long Lecture On November 19, Einstein gave a six-hour lecture at Keio University defying the fatigue from the long journey. The Yomiuri newspaper reported: Audience Intoxicated by Six-hour Lecture— Einstein gave his first lecture in Japan “Overview of Special and General Relativity” at Keio University. The professor began the lecture at 1:30 p.m., took an-hour-long break after speaking for three hours, and continued until he concluded it at 7:30 p.m. During this long lecture, none of the 2,000 spectators left their seats. Instead, they hung onto every word of Einstein and translator Jun Ishihara silently and earnestly.

  8. Simple experiments/observations gives groundbreaking results & led to innovation.

  13. Imitation or Innovation • Cheating is an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. • Cheating characteristically is used to get an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. • Cheating implies the breaking of rules (moral).
