    Albert Einstein
    Albert Einstein was one of the most famous scientists of all time. He developed the special and general theories
    of relativity and made many other important discoveries.

    Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Ulm, Germany. He grew up in a secular Jewish family. His father
    was a salesman and engineer and his mother was a housewife. Einstein had one sister, Maja, who was born two
    years after him. He studied at the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich. He didn’t like studying there. One teacher even
    told him that he would never get anywhere. At this time, Einstein became interested in classical music and he
    learned to play the violin. He was also interested in science.

    In the 1890s, Einstein’s family moved to Milan, Italy. Einstein started studying at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic
    School in Zürich. His years in Zürich were some of the happiest years of his life. He became friends with many
    other students and met his future wife, Mileva Maric, a physics student from Serbia.

    Einstein finished his university studies and found work in a Swiss patent office. In his free time, Einstein
    continued studying physics. He married Mileva Maric in 1903, but the marriage was not a happy one. They
    divorced in 1919 and Einstein married Elsa Löwenthal. In 1905, Einstein published four important papers about
    physics. The fourth paper included the famous equation E=mc2. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for Physics.

    From 1913 to 1933, Albert Einstein was the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics in Berlin. He often
    travelled around the world and gave talks about physics. While Einstein was travelling and speaking
    internationally, the Nazis were becoming more and more powerful. Einstein’s life was in danger. In 1932, he
    decided to leave Germany forever. He moved to the United States and took on a position at the Institute for
    Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey.

    Einstein became an American citizen in 1935. In 1939, he and his friend Leo Szilard wrote a letter to President
    Franklin D. Roosevelt. They warned him that the Nazis might be trying to create an atomic bomb. The United
    States started a programme to create its own nuclear weapons. After learning of the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima,
    Einstein became active in trying to stop future use of nuclear weapons. He also supported the civil rights of
    African Americans. In 1952, he was offered to become the president of Israel, but he respectfully declined.

    Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey.
