New observations of Physics
According to the book Einstein by Peter D Smith,
Einstein at first described Weber's lectures on theoretical physics as masterly, but as time passed he came to an opinion that weber's view of physics was outdated.
Even as a student Einstein knew that the mechanical world view of Isaac Newton needed to be revised
"A profounder understanding of relationships"
One thought that may have inspired him to make new observations about science is:
"At the close of our studies we knew all the past of physics, but nothing of its present and future"

5 Papers that changed the History of Science
The book Einstein By Peter D Smith also states that,
Albert Einstein produced four scientific papers that were to transform our understanding of the world and profound affect in the future course of Physics. And if it were not enough Albert wrote a brief afterthought to one of these in which he outlined the relationship between Energy and Matter.
These pages would have a marvelous impact on the world of Science, for they opened scientists' eyes to the lethal power locked up inside every atom, as expressed in the Legendary equation E=mc²

Agreeing to new theories
In 1910 Walter Nernst (1864-1941), professor of chemistry visited Albert to discuss his intriguing quantum hypothesis. Later Nernst wrote: 'Einstein's quantum hypothesis is probably the strangest thing he ever thought up. If correct, it opens entirely new roads both for so-called ether physics and all molecular theories...'
"One mistake In my life"
According to the book Einstein,
Albert Einstein and his fellow partner Leo Szilard wrote a faithful letter to President Roosevelt.
this letter warned that extremely powerful bombs of a new type were now a possibility.
The Atomic bomb which was
code-named the Manhattan project exploded above the city of Hiroshima on the 6th of August 1945 and killed 100,000 people instantly. Three days later more that 70,000 people were killed in Nagasaki.
Einstein played no part in developing the atomic bomb Says Peter D. Smith (Author of the book Einstein)
After the war Einstein admitted that signing that letter to Roosevelt was the
"One mistake in my life. "
