Why we celebrate Genius Day?
Genius Day is celebrated every year on 14 March in the United States. It is not considered an international holiday. However, all over the world, scientists who have made significant contributions to science are honoured on this day.
Genius Day in America is not associated with the scientific community. It was established in honour of the great 20th century physicist Albert Einstein. The scientist’s name proudly stands alongside Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov and other geniuses of all time.
Albert Einstein was born on 14 March 1879. The future physicist was born in a small German town. From adolescence he aspired to great science. During his teaching and research activity he wrote more than 300 articles. The great scientist is the author of the theory of relativity and the founder of modern quantum physics.
What Do People Do?
March 14 is not normally a major holiday. This day is celebrated with tea parties in university departments, meetings of young scientists and thematic exhibitions in science museums.
How to Celebrate Genius Day?
Genius Day is not a public holiday. But a single evening of celebration will suffice. It’s a day worth refraining from scrolling through tape and mindless revelry. Better to watch documentaries about Albert Einstein or read articles about him. By the way, Pi Day is also celebrated on this day.
Interesting facts about the physics genius
The personality of the famous physicist still enjoys popularity and respect. The story of this man’s life journey is a lesson for everyone. Success in his field can only be achieved through hard work and patience.
- Albert Einstein was considered mentally retarded by his family. He developed slowly, learned to speak by the age of 7 and had problems with his pronunciation. He had difficulty making contact with his peers.
- Before he was introduced to science, the future physicist was very religious.
- Albert Einstein waited 12 years for the Nobel Prize in Physics.
- In 1921 he finally received the coveted prize, but not for the theory of relativity but for the theory of the photoelectric effect. The former doctrine seemed too revolutionary at the time.
- Albert Einstein left Germany after the Nazi regime was established. Lived and taught in the USA, died in 1955.
