Albert Einstein was born in Ulm. His father was Hermann Einstein, a salesman and engineer and his mother was Pauline Einstein. The Einsteins were non-observant Jews. Although Einstein had early speech difficulties, he was a top student in elementary school. Einstein published more than 300 scientific and over 150 non-scientific works. Einstein is best known for his theories of special relativity and general relativity. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.”

Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist who is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time. His many contributions to physics include the special and general theories of relativity, the founding of relativistic cosmology, the first post-Newtonian expansion, explaining the perihelion advance of Mercury, and many more. He was born on March 14, 1879and died April 18, 1955. He is often regarded as the father of modern physics.

The average kinetic energy of the object would be kBT, and the time decay of the fluctuations would be entirely determined by the law of friction. The theory of fluctuations, he realized, would have a visible effect for an object which could move around freely. Such an object would have a velocity which is random, and would move around randomly, just like an individual atom.

Pascal's Triangle II
Pascal's Triangle was originally developed by the ancient Chinese, but Blaise Pascal was the first person to discover the importance of all of the patterns it contained. He was the first one to organize all of the information and put it all together. This happened in 1653. A number in the triangle can be found by nCr (n Choose r) where n is the number of the row and r is the element in that row. The formula for nCr is: n!

r!(n-r)!
