英语词汇einstein的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Einstein; einsteinium. Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was un- questionably one of the greatest thinkers of all time, and Ein- stein is still widely used as a synonym for a genius. Einsteinium, a man-made radioactive element, was named for the physicist in 1953 by its American discoverer, Albert Ghiorso, who formed it in the laboratory after it had been detected among the debris of the first H-bomb explosion the year before. Ein- stein’s genius wasn’t apparent in his early years. Born in Ulm, Germany, he had been regarded as a dullard and even “slow, perhaps retarded” in his first years at school there. The same opinion may have been shared by his parents, for he did not learn to walk until a relatively late age, nor begin to talk until he was past three. Einstein was graduated from the Polytechnic Institute of Zurich and took employment with the Swiss Patent Office, devoting all his spare time to pure science. In 1905, at 26, his genius suddenly, inexplicably, burst into full bloom with three discoveries in theoretical physics that included his revo- lutionary theory of relativity, which reshaped the modern world. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921—but not spe- cifically for his theory, which few understood at the time.
