Albert Einstein Biography

Born: March 14, 1879
Ulm, Germany
Died: April 18, 1955
Princeton, Massachusetts

German-born American physicist and scientist

The German-born American physicist (one who studies matter and energy and the relationships between them) Albert Einstein revolutionized the science of physics. He is best known for his theory of relativity, which holds that measurements of space and time vary according to conditions such as the state of motion of the observer.

Early years and education

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany, but he grew up and obtained his early education in Munich, Germany. He was a poor student, and some of his teachers thought he might be retarded (mentally handicapped); he was unable to speak fluently (with ease and grace) at age nine. Still, he was fascinated by the laws of nature, experiencing a deep feeling of wonder when puzzling over the invisible, yet real, force directing the needle of a compass. He began playing the violin at age six and would continue to play throughout his life. At age tw

Albert Einstein, undoubtedly the most famous scientist of the 20th century, was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1879. In 1896, he entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich, training to be a teacher of mathematics and physics. Unable to find a teaching job upon graduating in 1901, Einstein, who had become a Swiss citizen, instead found work at the patent office in Berne, focusing on patent applications for electromechanical devices. While working at the patent office, Einstein published four papers in 1905 that cemented that year as his annus mirabilis, or "year of miracles." These papers would generally be considered as the beginning of modern physics, though at the time they were barely noticed.

The first paper provided a foundation for quantum mechanics,
