Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist.
Albert Einstein was born on the 14th of March 1879 and died on the 18th of April 1955.
He was born with an abnormal big head and was unable to talk with confident later became a great physicist of all times.
Einstein started talking in the age of four but still he wasn't fluent till the age of 9.
At the age of 5, his father gifted him with a compass and this was the starting of a revolution in his brain because he got much curious to know about the force due to which the compass pointed in the same direction.
He once dropped out from his school for his non-serious behavior towards his studies, also he failed the college entrance exam at the age of 17, he failed all the subjects except science and maths.
Even when very young, Einstein showed great ability in both math’s and science. He was naturally curious and had a brilliant analytical mind.
Einstein originally wanted to become a mathematics and physics teacher but later changed his mind and wanted to be a university professor.
His first permanent job was as a clerk in a patent office in Bern, Switzerland.
After Einstein’s death, his brain was removed from his head by Dr. Thomas Stoltz Harvey without the permission of his family.
In 1905, Einstein got his Ph.D and wrote a paper on the topic now called the special theory of relativity. He published a paper on mass-energy equivalence where he explained one of the most famous equations of all times i.e. e=mc2. This equation said that small masses could be converted into huge amount of energy.
He was named as the Person of the Century by Time magazine.
An element named einsteinium was discovered in 1952 and named in his honor.
Two of Einstein's least favorite things: Haircuts and socks. Two of Einstein's favorite things: The violin and sailing.
Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on theoretical physics.
He worked on many other influential theories and projects including: the deflection of light by gravity, the quantum theory of atomic motion in solids, Brownian motion, an explanation for capillary action and much more.
Einstein was married twice: first to his college girlfriend and classmate, Mileva Maric, and then to his cousin, Elsa Einstein.
Einstein was a citizen of three countries. He was a German citizen by birth but gave up his citizenship in 1896 because he despised Germany's militarism. He became a Swiss citizen in 1901. In 1933, he moved to the United States to flee the Nazis, and he became a U.S. citizen in 1940.
In 1952, Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel after the death of the country's first president. Einstein declined the offer.
