Learn about Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was born on March 14th 1879 in Ulm, Germany to non practising Jewish parents Hermann and Pauline. When Albert was one year old the family moved to Munich where he grew up and attended school.
Albert’s father and uncle ran a company which manufactured electrical equipment. This helped to foster Albert’s interest in science and mathematics. However, he was seen as an ‘average’ pupil at school and fought against the strict discipline.
When his family moved to Italy, Albert dropped out of school and followed them. He finished his secondary education in Switzerland, gaining top grades in maths and physics. From 1896 to 1900 Albert studied at Zurich Polytechnic, graduating with a teaching diploma. However, he was not able to find a teaching post and in 1902 moved to Bern and began work in the Patent Office.
In his spare time Albert worked on understanding and researching theoretical physics. In 1905 he published 4 important papers that made him famous in the world of science. One included his famous equation E=mc2.
From 1909 to 1916 Albert spent much time working on his General Theory of Relativity. By 1919 his ideas were widely accepted and in 1921 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics.
With the rise of the Nazi government in Germany it became impossible for Albert to remain in Germany because of his Jewish heritage and in 1933 he moved to the USA. He remained in America until his death in 1955, continuing to research all of his life.
In 1999 he was named Time magazine’s ‘Person of the Century’.
