Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein is looked at as one of the most magnificent scientific thinkers throughout history. His theories on the nature and dimensions of time and space immensely changed the way people thought of the physical world and established many of the major fundamental foundations for a tremendous amount of the our scientific discoveries and inventions in the 21st century.

Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879 in Württemberg, Germany, into a middle-class Jewish family that owned a small electrical equipment manufacturing shop. Einstein showed early signed of genius even though he did not talk until the age of three. Six weeks after he was born, his family moved to Munich; there he began school a few years later at the Luitpold Gymnasium.

As a child, Einstein was a little out of the ordinary, not quite interested in the typical activities that other children enjoyed, Albert instead was fascinated by music, the sciences, and mathematics. He loved to play his violin, and even taught himself Euclidean Geometry. Unfortunately, as Einstein’s talents and brilliance became more obvious, he began to despise his schools teachings as they subjugated his creativity and genius. Einstein ended up dropping out of school in 1894 at the age of 15. His family’s business had hit the point of bankruptcy and could no longer remain open, so the family decided to shut it down and move to Switzerland. Albert Einstein followed his family and resumed his schooling once again when they arrived.

Later, Einstein was accepted into the Swiss Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich. Then in 1986, he decided to renounce his German citizenship and to remain stateless for a while before officially becoming a Swiss citizen in 1901. While attending the S...

As many years have passed, Albert Einstein’s work has become some of the most famous scientific theories ever proposed and will continue to lead many scientific experiments and discoveries for centuries to come.
