As the year 1905 began, Albert Einstein faced life as a “failed” academic. Yet within the next twelve months, he would publish four extraordinary papers, each on a different topic, that were destined to radically transform our understanding of the universe. Larry Lagerstrom details these four groundbreaking papers.

I love how 26 year old Einstein has gray hair.
Its all relative
@@rohitjain9080 ayyyyyyy
It's genetic. All of my family members has grey hair, including me
@Jay WBell dude😅😶

I fail to comprehend how one person could produce theories on such diverse subjects within the scope of one year... i just turned 26, i feel lucky i survived till this age :P
Lol
That's a bit over-dramatic but I get your point ;) Genius
He was working in a patent office and reviewing other people's work in the subject's. He was brilliant, but he stole a good portion of other people's work.
Steal is a harsh word, we all take influences from our surroundings. Everything you create is because of inspiration you've taken from another. Is Einsteins recognition hyped in light of the many other great scientists, inventors, thinkers (especially women) throughout history who go unnoticed? Definitely. It's not about who did it first, it's about who made the biggest impression. To see the interwoven connectivity between problem in diverse subjects and find creative solutions to consolidate them.
Dan Brew, What you said is not make any sense...
1. There's no one submit science knowledge through patent office because you CANNOT patent scientific theory or any theory describe the law of nature. You can only patent application which make uses of scientific theory.
2. All the knowledge of previous scientists that Einstein used to formulate his theory are in the public domain where everybody can view it. We know it precisely because it was written on the paper that Einstein publish.
3. Einstein's theory was a revolution. It's on the frontier that no one ever think this way before. As if he can steal an idea that no one ever imagine before or do you accusing him stole it from god?
4. Still, I'm kind of curious, can you elaborate what Einstein stole from other people's work? can you prove it? it might get you famous, you know?

What have I done this year....geeezzz
I created a formula so well know well known in the mathematics community that people say and it and immediately gasped as they have plagiarized me (joke). Also, I wrote a RUclips comment...
I ask myself this every year
I watch ted this year
Ummmmmm.... I got fatter? ;-;

In this video, Einstein looks so cute.
your creepy
I KNOW AHAHAHAHAHAHAHH
Seriously, has Einstein ever *not* looked cute? Many of his contemporaries lusted after his glorious stache.
loooollll yes he looks so cute!
yeah I like the animation
those animation were so fluid and beautiful . Kudos to the maker. I wanna take a moment and appreciate the animators craft of putting thoughts in to images. I am really fond of such explanation and totally loved it. Well done.
jayesh jain as an animator... I appreciate every detail of this video... it's very good! an inspiration
plus music

Yeah
Animation is so damn hard
As a 26-year-old who has done nothing of consequence in life, I feel significantly inadequate, now.
Oh, well. *pops on some cat videos*
After seeing this video I think we all feel significantly inadequate... So don't worry, you're not the only one 😅😔
Da Vinci and Tesla in comparison produced their key contributions to humanity a bit later. ;) I suggest you two (and everyone else who feels 'significantly inadequate') to google a video called 'The Long Game Part 1: Why Leonardo DaVinci was no genius'. And its follow up 'The Long Game Part 2'. Enjoy!
Alejandro Gllrd Lol, yes I do too! :/
The age is not important. You have many years left to improve your skills and accomplish something big ... but cat videos won't bring you closer :p
I love cat more than ever.
No matter what last year was like, this year could be your breakthrough. Like Einstein in 1905.
No
He was a genius from the beginning
He was so smart that he didnt even need teachers to learn calculus
Thanks Steve harvey
@@omit4727 Einstein was SO smart that even his "biggest blunder" was proved to be, in fact, true.
What Einstein called his worst mistake, scientists are now depending on to help explain the universe: The Cosmological Constant.
@@naytchh7 i know
No one can compare to him
At least no normal human like me or most people that waste their time watching youtube
Thanks man i need this

im a MD now as well...so yeah
+darkenergylambda an MD physicist? doing what?

darkenergylambda did you have a change of heart towards your profession?
Imagine bringing Einstein back to life today and witness the things he would uncover with today's technology.
Oh. My. God. You've blown my mind 😱
he was a theoretical physicist. Tech will not make a major difference.
hassan ali He would probably feel satisfied knowing his gravitational waves and a few other things got proven though.
With todays tech and say 50-100 more years of study, he could probably figure out the secrets of the universe
Or he will get caught up in it like 99% of our generation and not make a significant contribution at all
4 legendary papers in a year. absolutely amazing.
How are you verified
@@starboyjadenn omg same question he has 21 subscribers whereas i have 107 subcribers lmao
@@jeffcarroll1990shock you know how patent works right?? Hope you're just trolling or something cuz if not you can be a laughing stock
@@jeffcarroll1990shock sadly not my point, you know people can't submit science knowledge on patent right? It's purely undefined or even detailed now tell me how can he "stole" the "time is relative" from others??
@@jeffcarroll1990shock *not detailed
He published 5 papers in 1905, the most cited paper in his time was one where he calculated the size of molecules which was useful to many theories and experiments in that age. Today, it is overshadowed by his other groundbreaking papers but even alone it would have been enough to put him in many physics books.
He accomplished more within a year than most people manage to accomplish in a lifetime
No

An unknown fact about Einstein was that he was very briefly a manufacturer of Methamphetamine. He produced some of the highest quality meth at 99% purity. He often asked colleagues "Say my Name!" They replied "Einstein!"

One time, I went to Micro Center, and they had a bunch of famous scientists on banners on the wall. They all had their names printed on them. Except Einstein. I looked over at my mom and I was like, "Ha, they don't even need his name on that one." Damn. What a boss.

I love watching videos/documentaries on Einstein’s theories. I can’t understand any of them really (I wish I could), but I still find them fascinating
Don't worry. I have PhD in astrophysics (interstellar medium in nearby colliding galaxies), and I am still sometimes struggling handling with Einstein's relativity and quantum physics.
I have a PhD in quantum physics and general relatively, still can't understand

ok but imagine being a student at the time and just having to relearn everything after einstein published another paper

We need an update.

thank you so much
I can't find the instrumental
I'm feeling like a lot of geniuses today and throughout history can't work on their great ideas and lose their potential because they're stuck in our stupid system of having to make money for a living...

You mean like Einstein did?
@@Lol-fo2zq You need money to legally do that
There's always a way :)
Maybe he just accidently met some aliens that year
If Albert had been obedient, a conformist and deferrential to senior academics; we would never have heard of him.
It's actualy E² = (mc²)² + (pc)²
otherwise it will just discribe objects that are standing still (boring).
An now what happens when said matter is standing still?
RFalhar v=0 => p =m*v= 0 => E² = (mc²)² => E = mc².
Everything's standing still in the right frame of reference.
Holy shit that's the Pythagorean theorem
damascus21 Yeah, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to derive Einstein's equations.
Imagine what he could have accomplished if he didn't have to work 6 days a week at the patent office for peanuts.
The patent office may have helped him actually. All the latest tech goes through his office. So, ideas came from that revelation.
@@danielabraham5901 I disagree. The patent office also fatigued him. He was so tired from working that he often complained in his letters. He came up with some of his most breath-taking, original ideas AFTER he left the patent office including General Relativity - probably the greatest theory in the history of science, and his mind-blowing work on the LASER (formally known as On Spontaneous and Stimulated Emission - which introduced intrinsic randomness into quantum mechanics).
Einstein is the greatest scientist of all time. Many science historians argue he should have gotten 7 to 10 Nobel Prizes and would have had different people each did all the things he did by himself.
Please, someone, tell me the name of the song.
Einstein after publishing every paper: There is Another
TED-Ed, perfect combination of science and art.
Einstein literally took 'this my year' seriously.
You missed on whole paper - the Avogadro Number prediction, also 1905.
Why haven't we had a genius like Einstein in the 21st century yet?
You would think with more people on Earth today than in 19th and 20th century, the probability of a mega genius person making a huge breakthrough in science would be higher.
Hawking
@@tzakl5556 Hawking was born in 1942, 77 years ago,
i'm talking about the current generations, we don't have anyone that has made breakthroughs like Einstein
Sunny shah His brain was very different from others.
It’s like some higher being saw that we weren’t getting it so they sent Einstein to fix a few things.
Einstein didn't simply realize that making the speed of light constant in all reference frames (3:30) explained phenomena. This was proven previously by Maxwell's Equations. Einstein used this fact as his postulate oh which he based his special theory of relativity
also, didn't einstein formulated general relativity in 1915?
With general relativity..it was a mathematician who first discovered this ..when Einstein figuratively had a writers block
slomo lex i believe you meant that 2 mathmematicians (one of them is Einstein and i do not remember the other) were in compete to be the first to formulate general relativity, which Einstein won eventually.
@Heisenberg-SchrodingerEmc2 Did he really show why? Please tell me the reason.
@@wlan810 The other one I guess, just developed the mathematics with no ambition.. He developed it way before Einstein. If he knew it, Einstein's work would have been a lot easier.
It's mind-blowing how one genius managed to shatter our understanding of reality, to the point that we owe him an incalculable amount of discoveries and technologies, as of today, and his theories still perfectly predict so many phenomena.
Albert was a genius, he taught himself calculus on his own where people of his age were learning basics of trigonometry. He was ahead of his peers and didn't find academic learning interesting. Academics has nothing to do with your self learning and thinking, Einstein is perfect example and for me he's like a God.

Respected Sir/Madam,
Almighty God is the creator & sustainer of the universe. Who is similar to nothing & nothing is comparable to him. God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. And he is the only ONE worthy of worship.
There is NO picture, statue, photograph, idol, or painting of Almighty God. No one has ever actually seen God(at least not in this lifetime). So this gives us NO right to worship anything/anyone other than him. In the Qur'an, God tells mankind what he is and what he is not.
Almighty God says in Qur'an:
" Say, he is Allah(God), the one and only"
"Allah(God), the eternal the absolute"
"He neither begets nor is he born"
"And there is none equivalent to him"
Qur'an (30:112)
Nobody should be called God except Allah(God) himself.
Peace :)

Do watch NatGeo's Genius Season 1, They did a great job of showing his life.
4 legendary level paper in one year working as a clerk without even a lab or a subordinate to help.
Imagine if we could somehow bring him back to life and give him all of the information in science and see what he says
Well that is impossible. His brain has been taken and dissected. He’s permanently dead.
Damn you all messed up
i watched genius before watching this video and i can see the scenes while watching this 😂
my fellow mutual you are an intellectual
Same here 😆

DID ANY ONE NOTICE THAT THE STARTING MUSIC REVERSE IS THE ENDING MUSIC
The 1905 papers were actually 5 and not 4: 1. On a new determination of molecular dimensions, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Zurich, Bern, 1905.; 2. On a heuristic point of view concerning production and transformation of light, Annalen der Physik 17 (1905) 132-148. 3. On the motion of small particles suspended in liquids at rest required by the molecular-kinetic theory of heat, Annalen der Physik 17 (1905) 549-560. 4. On the electrodynamics of moving bodies, Annalen der Physik 17 (1905) 891-921. 5. Does the inertia of a body depend on its energy content?, Annalen der Physik 18 (1905) 639-641.
Besides, the GPS accuracy (and working) derives from General Relativity (1915) and not from Special Relativity (1905).
Thank you. People often ignore the fifth paper.
Douglas Stone, Deputy President of the Yale Quantum Institute and head of applied physics at Yale (even though he's actually a theoretical physicist) argues in his book "Einstein and the Quantum: The Quest of the Valiant Swabian" that Einstein should have received anywhere between 7 to 10 Nobel Prizes.
Einstein created several FIELDS in physics:
Condensed Matter Physics/Steady State Physics
Relativistic Kinematics
Relativistic Cosmology
etc
etc
etc
Hands down the greatest scientist of all time.

german served so much on the earth.germany invented so much.
The most amazing thing about this video is the idea that Einstein was actually young once. i always thought he was born 70 years old.
Einstein was gifted wisdom by God to show mankind about the universe.
The Baruchas one.
We should not forget the contribution of Mileva Marić, his wife who helped him a lot to come up with the hefty mathematical proofs while taking care of her child.
She sacrificed her own career for him and got like nothing at the end, she could have become a great scientist too.
Einstein >>>>>>> elon musk , imagine what einstein could have done using today's technology
Of course, Einstein actually wrote 5 papers in 1905.
Everytime I watch this video, I feel like WTH I am doing with my life, Dude just understood the calculus at the age of 15 ,At that age I barely was able to solve Basic trigonometry and geometry. As they say Einstein was a genius.
Not just understood but also learnt. Without the internet ofc
Albert einstein failing school is a myth. he got 1s and 2s because those used to be very high grades.
Einstein failing school isn't a myth, it's a lie from the teachers
He is just no one , not even an experience or known scientist , but suddenly bam! Change the way we see the universe with his theory .. among us 7billion people on earth , im sure theres a lot of hidden geniuses among us . Thankfully , its not that hard for us to get notice and take seriously anymore since we are tolerating science theories and projects even more on media .
I'm 26, I really want to make 2022 my personal 1905. That'd be awesome.
Imagine if Einstein did the same from 1906 - 1920 too.
I feel so hopeless looking into what Einstein did.
Tibees site has Einsteins Grades. He was actually a pretty good student. Failed academic student is a myth.
E=MC2 is not from einstein alone, Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré should be mentionned, unfortunately they will not be remembered...
minute physics
That's people's fault for waiting to be told who they are instead of searching these people up on their own due to a lack of curiosity because they'd rather watch cat videos.
MrFabienfabien they are actually mentioned in the physic books... specifically in the chapter of general relativity
Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré was more like effective mass.
Einstein, the legend of underdogs.
I love this!! And what is that background music ah need to know
"House" by Daniel Licht.
It should be "Miracle year for the world given by Einstein".
He must have been from the future.
the music was perfect lol. anyone know what the name of the piece is?
Idk
The clouds never parted. It is widely understood, that his wife, Mileva Maric, contributed in massive amounts to his accomplishments, but he "had forgotten" to add her name to the papers.
I took a Special Theory of Relativity course on Coursera with Larry Lagerstrom. He's an awesome teacher! It's no wonder he has gotten so many teaching awards. Got an 84.6! :)
Did you start with any background in physics?
@@syedbasiljaved6201 Well, Yes, as I was a physics major in the late 1960s, but could never complete a degree because of my horrible math skills. I took the Special Theory of Relativity Course with Mr. Lagerstrom on Coursera. He does all the math using nothing more than high-school algebra and what was really great was he went through everything step-by-step. I highly recommend that course.
Einstein write it people ignore his e=mc2 for a year then some one say it might be true
I feel like I'm building on every failure that I've ever had. But I know, deep inside me, that it's growing into something that will catapult forward with enough time. The best is yet to come! :)
One day, Poincaré will be rehabilitated... The true inventor of relativity...
he was to late, wasn't he? His paper came in 1906, right? Or do you mean Lorentz? He did not include the invariance of the speed of light.
Lorentz was about local time, a needed idea to develop relativity, but actually Poincaré published most of the materials for relativity in 1900. That's why Einstein didn't get the nobel for this.
B Skit If that was the reason, Einstein still would have got a Nobel for it, just a joint one with Poincaré and/or Lorentz. He didn't because the Nobel committee thought his work on early quantum theory was more useful to mankind.
IamGrimalkin
Just read Poincaré and Lorentz work... If you read the propositions of Poincaré, you'll get exactly the mainstream idea of relativity. The equations came from Lorentz work, even if the link is harder to find if you don't know math, and Einstein assembled them and set the conclusion. That's it, you got relativity.
B Skit Yeah but he was the one that ripped down the ether. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that wasn't why he didn't get a nobel for that discovery because no nobel was awarded for the discovery of SR at all. It wasn't as if one was awarded but with his name missing.
*And here I am, 27, failing miserably at training my dog how to sit.*

Psedonymous Cat E = the square root of p^2 x c^2 + m^2 x c^4, that's the correct equation.
Not really if you consider mass to be relative.

i got goosebumps. i love his life story. he was a genius. also i like the factor he never gave up and kept on working. i am also fascinated by his imagination power
What really inspired me is that even though Einstein may not neccesarily be the best in regards to his mathematical knowledge, his remarkable intuition and penetrating insights still lead him to far greater results than many of those who seem to possess more prowess in technicalities.
@@xigong3009 Einstein's math chops are underrated. He beat Hilbert to the correct Field Equations for General Relativity. That takes some real mathematical gifts.
