(2)1921From April 5 to May 30, Weizmann and I visited the United States for the first time to raise funds for the establishment of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Jerusalem. Won the Barnard medal at Columbia University. President Harding received him at the White House. During his visit to Chicago, Boston and Princeton, he gave four lectures on relativity. In June, I went to England and visited Newton's graveyard.
(3) 1922 (43 years old) 1 month, completing the first paper on unified field theory. Visit France in March and April, and strive for the normalization of France-Germany relations. Give a speech criticizing Mach's philosophy. In April, he participated in the Intellectual Cooperation Committee of the League of Nations. In July, he was threatened with murder and temporarily left Berlin. Visit Colombo, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai along the way.
(4)1922165438+1On October 9th, Einstein learned that he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 192 1 year by telegraph on his way to Japan and Shanghai. 1February 2, 923 (aged 44), Einstein visited Palestine on his way back from Japan and stayed for 12 days.
(5)1February 8, 923, became the first honorary citizen of Tel Aviv. On my way back to Germany from Palestine, I went to Spain. In March, Einstein was disappointed with the ability of the League of Nations and submitted his resignation to the League of Nations. From June to July, he helped create the "Friends of New Russia Association" and became a member of its executive committee.
(6) 1923 In July, I went to Gothenburg and received the Nobel Prize of 192 1. Give a lecture on relativity as a thank you for winning the Nobel Prize. The Compton effect was discovered and the long-standing contradiction in the concept of photon was solved. In February 65438, it was first speculated that the quantum effect might come from the overconstrained field equation of general relativity.

At the age of sixteen, Einstein applied for the engineering department of the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, but failed in the entrance examination. Mr. Weber, a physicist, read his papers on mathematics and physics. He was very discerning and praised him: "You are a very clever boy, Einstein, a very clever boy, but you have a big shortcoming: you don't want to show yourself."
Einstein can be said to be a "genius" in mathematics. He taught himself analytic geometry and calculus at the age of 12 to 16. He is also "unrepentant" for not wanting to show his "shortcomings". In his letter to friends in his later years, he said: "When I was young, my needs and expectations for life were that I could do research quietly in a corner, and the public would not pay full attention to me, but now I can't."
