E = mc2. The theory of relativity expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. Created by the world's most famous physicist, a man of great physics, and largely responsible for the development of the theory of quantum mechanics, Albert Einstein lived a fascinating life.
Born on March 14th, 1879, in Ulm Germany, Albert was raised in a secular Jewish middle-class family. At an early age, Albert exhibited proficiency in philosophy and mathematics, and at the age of 14, he mastered integral and differential calculus. At 16, Albert wrote his first scientific paper titled "The Investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic Fields", questioning what a light beam would look like if you could run alongside it. From there, Albert experienced plenty of hardships, which led to incredible success and arguably, history-changing ideas and thoughts.
Join Jen and Cam in episode 12 of History Out of the Box as we discuss the storied, immaculate, and in some ways, disturbing life of one of the greatest scientific minds to have ever lived: Albert Einstein.
History Out of The Box strives to connect our listeners with the echoes of our collective past, discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly associated with famous historical figures.
