Aaliya Khan was the smartest person in the world. she was 121 yrs old and the oldest and smartest person ever in the world.

Who was Albert Einstein's favorite scientist?

Niels Bohr was one of Albert Einstein's favorite scientists. Einstein greatly respected Bohr for his work in quantum theory. They had a famous debate on the completeness of quantum mechanics that reflected their differing views on the nature of reality.

What was the IQ of Albert Einstein?

Albert Einstein never took an IQ test, but some have guessed that his IQ lays between 160-180. Others surmise that he might have been an idiot savant, which seems unlikely.

In any case, Einstein saw many things in ways other people couldn't even start to imagine.

Was Einstein a good student?

Yes Albert was a good child he was not the only child but,yes he was a good child...

What obstacles did Albert Einstein overcome?

Practically all of the world's top scientists thought that he was nuts - at first. His ideas were so radical and flew in the face of accepted 'truths' that despite his ideas being valid it took a lot of time and persuasion for other top scientists to believe his theories.

What did a letter signed by world-famous scientist Albert Einstein communicate to Franklin D. Roosevelt early in the war?

Albert Einstein's Letters to Roosevelt early in the war warned of the arms race regarding construction of extremely powerful bombs.

What tools albert Einstein use?

For his work in theoretical physics, the primary took that Albert Einstein used was his brain. No doubt he also used pen or pencil and paper, and occasionally chalk and a chalk board.

What was Albert Einstein's impact on society?

Einstein showed, not only to scientists, but to all people that the universe may not always be what we perceive. For this reason, it is always important to seek truth.

What was Albert Einstein's nationality?

He was legally German until 1933, when he renounced his citizenship. Then he applied for an American citizenship, what made him American until his death.

A nationality is defined by a commitment to a nation and may be chosen by the individual according to the human right of free association (see United Nations Declaration of Rights). At the point Albert Einstein had officially renounced his German citizenship, despite he has always been carying it half-heartily only, he had declared he is not a German, and by adopting an American citizenship, he also declared he is American. Thus we have to respect his decision and write in our history books he was American.

Why did Einstein stick out his tongue?

On Einstein's 72nd birthday in 1951, UPI photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, Einstein stuck out his tongue instead.[1] This photo became one of the most popular photos ever taken of Einstein and it is well recognized in popular culture,[2][3] often used in merchandise depicting Einstein in a lighthearted sense. One of the only known signed photographs of Albert Einstein’s Iconic Act of Playful Defiance has recently (June, 2009) come to market at RR Auction, a signed memorabilia auction house. The complete background of when the photo was originally taken, how Einstein asked for 9 prints for himself. Only one of these photos have emerged to the public eye with his thoughts and signature on it. the history on this particular signed photo was started in 1953, at the height of the 1950s Communist witch-hunt. Albert Einstein signed the photo for award-winning CBS and ABC anchor reporter Howard K. Smith as a gesture of his admiration of Smith’s work. The German inscription (translated) states: “This gesture you will like, Because it is aimed at all of humanity. A civilian can afford to do what no diplomat would dare.” Einstein’s statement clearly shows his keen senses of both humor and defiance. “This photo of Einstein sticking his tongue out captures his spirit of rebelliousness and non-conformity,” said John Reznikoff of University Archives in Westport, Connecticut, when shown the photo. “It is without a doubt the most desirable photo of Einstein I have ever seen.” The photograph was taken by UPI photographer Arthur Sasse on March 14, 1951, following an event at Princeton to honor Einstein on his 72nd birthday. While Sasse tried mightily to convince the physicist to smile for the camera, the reaction he received, recorded forever on film, was humorously unexpected! Einstein was so amused by the image that he contacted UPI and requested nine prints for his personal use. The photo being offered for sale is the one that Einstein gave to Smith, to whom he listened regularly, and is the only one of the nine that has ever been made available for public purchase. The value of the image, with its connection between scientist and newsman, makes it historically significant and gives us insight directly into what Einstein's thoughts were on the image. By 1953, Einstein had boldly begun speaking out against McCarthyism when he wrote a nationally-published letter that stated, “Every intellectual who is called before one of the committees ought to refuse to testify.” That same year, an electrical engineer was called before McCarthy’s committee and refused to testify with the explanation that he was following “advice from Professor Einstein.” Reznikoff believes Einstein knew the risky implication of his now-famous gesture. “You can tell by the inscription that he fully understood the power the image conveyed, and what he was doing was quite dangerous considering the Government was forcing intellectuals to name names.” Marcia Bartusiak , author of Einstein's Unfinished Symphony and The Day We Found the Universe, believes the photo has become such a timeless symbol of non-conformity “because it shows one of history’s greatest men doing something very out of character for what we imagine great figures of history should look like. It’s a jolt to see science’s most familiar face doing something just a bit naughty.”

Did Albert Einstein do his hair?

In his day, the idea of men 'doing' their hair would have been quite foreign to most. Also, I don't think he could have cared one single bit what his hair looked like; he was absorbed, most of the time, engaging the formidable brainpower humming just under the hair.

Where did Einstein teach America?

The Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton Univeristy

Who discovered the speed of light?

The fact that light had speed was well known as far back as the ancient Greeks. However it would not be until modern times that equipment was sensitive enough to deduce with a margin or error, something close to the accepted value.

In 1983 at the Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures an exact value for the speed of light in a vacuum was set at 299,792.458 m/s [See Link]

Does gravity affect the speed of light?

Gravity affects the fabric of space-time. So both space and time will be distorted.

What is the average IQ of a scientist?

IQ has nothing to do with intelligence, just how fast intelligence is gained

Why was Einstein important?

What did Einstein create?

What theories did Albert Einstein come up with?

I've got to pick one?

Okay, let's go with General Relativity then.

There's also Special Relativity, and some work with statistics (giving rise to something called Bose-Einstein statistics, the counterpart to Fermi-Dirac statistics; subatomic particles follow one or the other depending on what type they are).

What was Albert Einstein's occupation?

I do know that his father was an unsuccessful business man I don't know about his mother though you maybe able to Google it.
