Albert Einstein was a Germanborn
theoretical physicist.
Einstein is often regarded as the father
of modern physics.
Einstein published more than
300 scientific papers.
His great intelligence and originality
has made the word "Einstein"
synonymous with genius.
Early life
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, but the family moved to Munich in 1880.
Albert attended a Catholic elementary school from
the age of five until ten.
In 1894, his father's company failed and in search
of business, the family moved to Italy.
Einstein wrote his first scientific work, "The
Investigation of the State of Aether in Magnetic
Fields", in 1895.
At age 17, he graduated from a secondary school in
Switzerland.
Marriage and children
In early 1902, Einstein and Mileva Mari had a
daughter they named Lieserl.
Einstein and Mari married in January 1903.

Einstein married Elsa Löwenthal on 2 June 1919.
Academic career
On 30 April 1905, he completed his thesis, with Alfred
Kleiner.
Einstein's "miracle year".
By 1908, he was recognized as a leading
scientist.
In 1911, he had calculated that, based
on his new theory of general relativity, light
from another star would be bent by the
Sun's gravity.
In 1921, Einstein was awarded the Noble
Prize in Physics.
Emigration from Germany, World
War II and the Manhattan Project
In 1933, Einstein decided to emigrate to the United States due to the
rise to power of the Nazis under Germany's new chancellor, Adolf
Hitler.
He took up a position at the Institute for
Advanced Study at Princeton, New
Jersey, an affiliation that lasted until his
death in 1955.
ere, he tried to develop a unified field
theory and to refute the accepted
interpretation of quantum physics, both
unsuccessfully.
In the summer of 1939, a few months before
the beginning of World War II, Einstein was
persuaded to write a letter to
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and warn
him that Nazi Germany might be developing
an atomic bomb.
As a result of Einstein's letter, and his
meetings with Roosevelt, the U.S. entered
the "race" to develop the bomb first.
Scientific career
Throughout his life, Einstein published
hundreds of books and articles.
Death
On April 17, 1955, Albert Einstein experienced
internal bleeding caused by the rupture of
