    Question 3.
    Explain what the reasons for the following are:

    1. Einstein leaving the school in Munich for good.


    2. Einstein wanting to study in Switzerland rather than in Munich.
    3. Einstein seeing in Mileva an ally.
    4. What do these tell you about Einstein?

    Answers:

    1. Einstein left the school in Munich because he did not like the discipline of the
    school. He hated the school’s regimentation and often clashed with teachers.
    2. Albert’s parents moved to Milan and left their son with relatives. After prolonged
    discussion, Einstein got his wish to continue his education in German – speaking
    Switzerland. Actually, it was more liberal than Munich.
    3. Einstein saw in Mileva Marie an ally against the “Philistines”—those people in his
    family and at the university with whom he was constantly at odds. He found that
    she was a “clever creature”.
    4. These tell that Einstein was a genius and had the capabilities to achieve his
    targets. Moreover, he had his own view of life. He liked freedom too much.

    Question 4.
    What did Einstein call his desk drawer at the patent office? Why?
    Answer:
    Einstein called his desk drawer at the patent office the “bureau of theoretical physics”.
    Einstein was actually developing his own ideas in secret and his drawer had all the
    evidences which could reveal the secret.

    Question 5.
    Why did Einstein write a letter to Franklin Roosevelt?
    Answer:
    With the emergence of Nazis in Germany,
    Einstein emigrated to the United States. It was the fact that the Nazis had the ability to
    develop the atomic bomb. It could destroy the whole world. So he warned Franklin D.
    Roosevelt in his letter.

    Question 6.
    How did Einstein react to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
    Answer:
    The atomic bomb devastated the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was
    deeply shaken by the extent of the destruction and wrote a public missive to the United
    Nations.

    Question 7.
    Why does the world remember Einstein as a ‘world citizen’?
    Answer:
    The world remembers Einstein as a ‘world citizen’ because he believed in universal
    peace. When there was the rat race for becoming atomic power, he was worried about
    the aftermaths of the bomb. He was really a world citizen who was concerned with
    humanity.
