BIOGRAPH
Y Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical
physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the
greatest and most influential physicists of all time.
Einstein is best known for developing the theory of
relativity
 Born: March 14, 1879, Ulm, Germany
 Died: April 18, 1955, Princeton, New Jersey, United
States
 Education: University of Zurich (1905), ETH
Zürich (1897–1900), MORE
 Children: Eduard Einstein, Hans Albert
Einstein, Lieserl Einstein
 Nationality: American, German, Hungarian, Swiss,
Weimar
 Height: 1.7 m
Early life
 Young Einstein encountered his first wonder —
a compass — at age 5: He was mystified
that invisible force (opens in new tab) could
deflect the needle.
 The second wonder came at age 12 when he
discovered a book of geometry, which he
worshipped, calling it his "holy geometry book.
 Einstein rebelled against the authoritarian attitude
of some of his teachers and dropped out of school
at 16.
 Never completed high school in hope of
applying to ETH Zurich
Einstein would recall that his years in Zürich were some of the happiest years of his
life. He met many students who would become loyal friends, such as Marcel
Grossmann, a mathematician, and Besso, with whom he enjoyed lengthy
conversations about space and time.
Marriage life
 Married to Mileva Maric in January
6, 1903.
 Has two sons, Hans Albert Einstein,
Eduard Einstein
 Divorced Mileva on February 14,
1919
 Married Elsa Lowenthal on June 2,
1919
Career and contributions
 At first Einstein’s 1905 papers were ignored by
the physics community. This began to change after
he received the attention of just one physicist,
perhaps the most influential physicist of his
generation, Max Planck, the founder of
the quantum theory
 In November 1915 Einstein finally completed the
general theory of relativity, which he considered to
be his masterpiece
 Einstein’s work was interrupted by World War I. He
was only one of four intellectuals in Germany to
sign a manifesto opposing Germany’s entry into
war. 
 Einstein also launched the
new science of cosmology. His equations predicted
that the universe is dynamic—expanding or
contracting.
Relativity theory

General relativity, also known as the general


theory of relativity and Einstein's theory of
gravity, is the geometric theory of gravitation
published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and is
the current description of gravitation in
modern physics.

Ending
 The 1930s were hard years for Einstein. His son
Eduard was diagnosed with schizophrenia and
suffered a mental breakdown in 1930.
 Einstein’s close friend, physicist Paul Ehrenfest, who
helped in the development of general relativity,
committed suicide in 1933. And Einstein’s beloved
wife, Elsa, died in 1936.
 To his horror, during the late 1930s, physicists began
seriously to consider whether his
equation E = mc2 might make an atomic
bomb possible. In 1920 Einstein himself had
considered but eventually dismissed the possibility.
 Einstein was granted permanent residency in
the United States in 1935 and became an American
citizen in 1940
 Einstein was on vacation when he heard the
news that an atomic bomb had been dropped
on Japan. Almost immediately he was part of an
international effort to try to bring the atomic
bomb under control, forming the Emergency
Committee of Atomic Scientists.
 Einstein died of an aortic aneurysm on April 18,
1955. A blood vessel burst near his heart,
according to the American Museum of Natural
History When asked if he wanted to have
surgery, Einstein refused.
