BIOGRAPHY
ALBERT EINSTEIN was born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879. As a child, Einstein revealed an extraordinary curiosity for
understanding the mysteries of science (started only at age 10/11). A typical
child (only to his socio-economic class — educated middle class), Einstein
took music lessons, playing both the violin and piano — a passion that
followed him into adulthood. Moving first to Italy and then to Switzerland,
the young prodigy graduated from high-school in 1896.
In 1905, while working as a patent clerk in
Bern, Switzerland, Einstein had what came to be known as his “Annus
Mirabilis” — or “miracle year”. It was during this time that the young
physicist obtained his
Doctorate degree and published four of his most influential research papers, including the
Special Theory of Relativity. In that, the now world famous equation "e
= mc2" unlocked mysteries of the Universe theretofore unknown.
Ten years later, in 1915, Einstein completed his General Theory of Relativity and in 1921 he
was awarded the Nobel Prize
in Physics (iconic status cemented in 1919 when Arthur Eddington’s expedition
confirmed Albert Einstein’s prediction). It also launched him to
international superstardom and his name became a household word synonymous
with genius all over the world.
Einstein emigrated to the United States in
the autumn of 1933 and took up residence in Princeton, New Jersey and a
professorship at the prestigious
Institute for Advanced Study.
Today, the practical applications of Einstein’s theories include the
development of the television, remote control devices, automatic door
openers, lasers, and DVD-players. Recognized as TIME magazine’s “Person of
the Century”, in 1999, Einstein’s intellect, coupled his strong passion for
social justice and dedication
to pacifism, left the world with infinite knowledge and pioneering moral
leadership.
