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.

  <![endif]--><!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->


  

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.
