Einstein Truth Seeker
Einstein was a truth seeker. Albert Einstein was born in 1879 to Jewish parents. Although the family was not religious, did not attend synagogue or practice the dietary laws, Einstein himself was religious untill it came to an abrupt end when he was 12 years old.

Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany of Jewish parents. As a child he was moved with his family to Munich, then Milan. His parents were not especially religious, they did not attend synagogue or practice the dietary laws, but in spite of that their son did become deeply religious as a youngster. It all came to an abrupt end when he was 12 years old. Through the reading of scientific books that he was so interested in he soon reached the conclusion that the stories in the Bible could not be true. It was a crushing blow when he discovered that youth was intentionally deceived by traditional lies. Einstein later stated that his loss of religion freed him from an existence dominated by wishes, hopes, and primitive feelings.
Einstein had found the inner freedom to contemplate the world and although this road was not as comfortable as the road to a religious paradise, it proved itself more trustworthy and he never regretted having chosen it. After graduating from a Catholic primary school, he passed the rigorous tests required to attend the Polytechnic Academy in Zürich where he studied physics for four years. He graduated in 1900 and became a Swiss citizen, then pursued an unsuccessful teaching career where he was fired for being too informal. Einstein went to work at a Swiss Patent Office and married Mileva Maric. At the age of 26 he began his spectacular career as a productive physicist.
Einstein’s first statement of what came to be called relativity appeared in 1905 in an article in the German scientific journal “Annalen der Physik” It was not an article that the average mind could easily understand and it was slow to take off. It did not cite authorities or have footnotes. And Einstein proposed a new scheme of physics. It was of great significance but barely understandable to the layman. It meant that Newton’s laws were only valid to circumstances limited by our physical senses. It meant time and space were different in stationary and in moving objects. It meant objects in motion travel at speeds in relation to the observer. They plainly contradicted the notion of absolute space and time.

Enjoyed reading this. He clearly had no equal and no one has ever proved his theory of relativity wrong…or right.
