3. 1884
Einstein saw a
wonder when he
was four or five
years old: a
magnetic
compass.
The needle's
northward swing,
guided by an
invisible force,
impressed him.
The compass
convinced him
that there had to
be "something
behind things,
something deeply
hidden."
4. Albert as a Student
Einstein knew, from
then on, that he
wanted to teach math
and Science at a
University someday.
The problem was, he
wasn’t a very good
test-taker and could
not get a job at a
University because of
it.
Rumor has it that he
had even failed a Math
test, but some people
question that because
of the way grades
were assigned back
then.
5. 1905
Albert Einstein
develops his
Special Theory
of Relativity.
He did this
while working
as a Patent
Clerk in
Germany.
He wasn’t really
even a scientist
at the time.
6. Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
Relative to who is
watching, space and
time are transformed
near the speed of light:
distances appear to
stretch; and clocks
tick more slowly.

7. Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
Einstein’s
theory meant
that Newton’s
Laws needed
to be modified.

8. Einstein Continued his Genius in 1905
Einstein uses
the idea that
light exists as
tiny packets, or
particles, that
we now call
photons.
His work
anchors the
most shocking
idea in
twentieth
century science:
we live in a
9. Einstein Continued his Genius in 1905
Next, in April and
May, Einstein
publishes two
papers.
In one he invents a
new method of
counting and
determining the size
of the atoms or
molecules in a given
space.
In the other he
explains the
phenomenon of
Brownian motion.
The net result is a
proof that atoms
actually exist - still
10. Einstein Continued his Genius in 1905
And then, in
June, Einstein
completes
special
relativity -
which adds a
twist to the
story: special
relativity sees
light as
particles and a
continuous field
11. Einstein Continued his Genius in 1905
And of course,
Einstein isn't
finished. Later in
1905 comes the
most famous
relationship in
physics: e=mc2
.
The energy content
of a body is equal
to the mass of the
body times the
speed of light
squared.

12. 1907
In 1907, Einstein
begins to apply
the laws of
gravity to his
Special Theory
of Relativity.
In 1911, he
finally gets a job
as a Professor of
Physics at the
German
University.
13. 1910-1913
In 1910, Einstein
addressed a basic
question: "Why is
the sky blue?" He
approached the
problem by looking
at the effect of the
scattering of light
by individual
molecules in the
atmosphere.
In 1913, Einstein
begins work on his
new Theory of
Gravity.
14. 1915
Einstein
completes his
General Theory
of Relativity.
Einstein
challenged the
way the world
thought about
gravity – and Sir
Isaac Newton
himself - by
describing
gravity as the
warping of
space-time, not
a force acting at
a distance.
16. 1919
A solar eclipse
proves Einstein
right, and he
becomes an
overnight celebrity.
An experiment had
confirmed that light
rays from the sun
were deflected by
the gravity of the
sun in just the
amount Einstein had
predicted in his
theory of gravity,
General Relativity.

18. 1921
Albert Einstein is awarded the Nobel Prize "for his
services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his
discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect"
19. 1928
Einstein begins pursuing
his idea of a unifying
theory that ties
everything in the
universe together.
20. 1933
Einstein and his wife,
Elsa, escape Nazi
Germany and set sail for
the United States.
21. 1939
World War II
begins.
Einstein writes a
now famous
letter to
President
Franklin D.
Roosevelt urging
nuclear research
and warning him
of Germany’s
building of an
atomic bomb.
22. Einstein’s Contribution
Between 1905 to 1925, Einstein
changed the world’s
understanding of nature on
every scale, from the smallest
organism to the whole universe.
Now, a century after he began
to make his mark, we are still
exploring Einstein's universe.
The problems he could not
solve remain the ones that
define the cutting edge, the
most tantalizing and
compelling.
23. Einstein’s Contribution
Einstein continued to his
dying days, trying to
figure out a single
central theory that
explained everything in
the universe.
An extension of his work
has become known as
String Theory, which says
that everything in the
universe is made up of
tiny strings of energy.
24. April 18, 1955
Albert Einstein
dies of Heart
Failure.
This is a picture
of his last
blackboard.
25. Famous Einstein Quotes
"Anyone who has never made a
mistake has never tried
anything new."
"If A equals success, then the
formula is: A=X+Y+Z. X is work.
Y is play. Z is keep your mouth
shut."

During the 1970s, when India
had hardly dreamt of its SLV, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam launched SLV III in July
1980, which deployed Rohini in near earth orbit. It was nearly a decade’s
hard work of Kalam, which made this task possible.

Dr. Kalam was appointed as the CEO of this
high-end program. Rather than backing off
from this responsibility, Kalam tried in the
best way possible to make it successful. As a
result of his hard work and devotion, missiles
like AGNI (a ballistic missile) and PRITHVI
(surface-to-surface missile) came into
existence.

During his tenure as Secretary of the
Defence Research and Development
Organization and Chief Scientific
Advisor to Prime Minister between
July 1992 and December 1999, he
took some great decisions. Dr.
Kalam’s intensive technical and
political help in Pokhran-II nuclear
tests earned him a lot of media
coverage and established him as the
best living nuclear scientist in the
country.

Dr. Kalam and Soma Raju, a well-known
cardiologist, came up with a rugged tablet
computer in 2012 to take care of the health of
underprivileged people in rural India. It helped
the government fight many health issues.
37. 5. the MIssIon 2020
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam was a visionary
man and saw a dream of India
becoming a developed nation by the
year 2020. He always believed that
education and the dominant young
Indians could take the nation to greater
heights. He will not be there to witness
India’s success in the coming days, but
his guidance and blessings will surely
help the country to fulfill his dream.
