someone told me he failed high school math...if this is true there is a possibily i can make a formula as brilliant as his... hhmmmm nice

Einstein not study science, he studying sprituality and religion, where he try to prove the word inside of himself.

He failed math because he was so far ahead of his class. If someone put you in 3rd grade right now, you'd probably have to write out the letter "q" 100 times for homework. Would you do it? No, of course not - it would bore you to tears. But you'd fail 3rd grade. In the same way, Einstein couldn't bother with high school - he was thinking much bigger things.

He derived it from the conservation of momenta as things approach the speed of light. The actual math is HS algebra. The remarkable acheivement was in recognizing what happens to mass, momentum, and time as a rest mass approaches the speed of light. For an easy read on how Einstein did this, please check out the source. What it means is that mass and energy are not distinct, they are simply manifestations of the same stuff. For this reason, in physics, we often say "mass-energy" rather than mass or energy by itself. In a practical sense it means Mc^2 = (m1 + m2)c^2 + E; so that if m1 + m1 < M the difference (M - m1 - m2)c^2 = E And that's where fission power comes from. That difference between an atom of M mass and the mass of its children after splitting (m1 and m2) is the energy E released by that splittiing atom. In fusion, the energy again comes from mass difference. But this time m1 + m2 > M; where M is the mass of the fused particle. Even so, we have [(m1 + m2) - M]c^2 = E in a fusion reaction.

He was a genuis. Because he failed high school math does not mean you can fail it and be a genius as well. He applied himself to the most extreme extent and above all, was asking questions to himself as a CHILD like "what would a light wave look like if I was traveling at the speed of light?" Things like these caused him to take the path he did. If you apply yourself like he did and have a genuine, absolute, truthful desire to achieve and discover the answers, you can also do great things.

Devotion, perseverence & curiosity... If u want 2 do something, whether it be discovery of a formula or writing a good poetry or achieving success in a class-test --- u need perseverence & devotion.
Now what volume of success u get is immaterial. U can't judge the amount of success in that way. If u want 2 achieve something, keep up ur spirit & always be focussed at ur goal. Ur success is assured.

Their could have been many reason why he failed his math class. I have a hard time thinking he failed because he couldn't do the work or understand it, maybe he just didn't want to. He was a very smart person.

Am sure that everybody has his own ability of being wrong and right so may be his ability to pass by being taught by someone is very low at the same time his ability to pass by being taught by himself is high so he used his own imaginations and feelings and the most important experiments to come up with his formula.hav a nice day!

Einstein wasn't understood by one of his math teachers, mostly out of anti-semitism.
Einstein derived "relativity" by applying calculus to Maxwell's Equations, by using time as a variable also.

you mean e=mc2 ?
it stands for energy=mass*speed of light (squared)
einstein was a thinker,and that was what mattered....
he pestered people with questions,
and yes he won the nobel prize for some experiments on lumpy light.
his word are famous
"the war is won,but not the peace"
he also played a key role in the development of the atom bomb

he was actually very bad at math in his early years, however, while working as a patent clerk the motion of tiny objects intruiged him, this lead to brownian motion, furthmore he wondered how light could behave like a wave but propagate like a particle, the culmination of his theories lead the to big equation...
hope this helps :)
