| Albert Einstein, the greatest scientist of the twentieth century and one of the supreme intellects of all time, was born on March 14, 1879 in the city of Ulm in Germany. He attended high school in Switzerland and became a Swiss citizen in 1901.
He was appointed an examiner at the Swiss Patent Office in 1902. He served at this post for three years. He received his PhD in 1905 from the University of Zurich, but was unable to find an academic position at that time. However, the same year he began to publish original papers on the theoretical aspects of problems of Physics. Within a few years, these papers, particularly the one on relatively, established his reputation as one of the most brilliant and original scientists in the world. His theories were highly controversial. In spite of this, he was appointed a Professor at the University of Berline, at the same time becoming a member of the Purssian Academy of Science. In 1921 he was awarded Nobel Prize for Physics. Einstein’s situation in Germany became precarious when Hitler rose to power. He moved to Princeton, New Jersy, the USA, in 1933 to work at the institute for advanced study and in 1940, he became a United States citizen. Einstein’s first marriage ended in divorce, but his second was quite happy. He had two children, both boys. He died in 1955 in Princeton. |
