| Albert Einstein was born in in Wurttemberg, Germany,
on March 14, 1879. Six weeks later his family moved to Munich and he
started school there. I little bit after he moved Italy and Einstein
continued his education there. Later, in 1896, he entered the Swiss
Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. There he was trained to be a
mathematical and physics teacher. In 1905, after joining the Swiss
Patent Office, he gained a doctors degree. In 1914 he became a
German citizen, but renounced in 1933. After World War 2, Einstein
was offered the Presidency of the State of Israel, but he refused to
take it. In the start of his Albert's gifts of knowledge resulted in
his dwelling much in intellectual solitude and, for relaxation.
Music also played an important part in his life. He married Mileva

broke in 1919. The same year he married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal,
who died in 1936. Einstein died on April 18, 1955 at Princeton New
Jersey. In the start of Albert's work he discovered the Law of Mechanics and the Law of the Electromagnetic Field, which lead to explaining the Brownian Movement of Molecules. He contributed to mechanics by his work of the Quantum Theory. Some of his other work includes: Why War (1933), My Philosophy (1934), Out of My Later Years (1950), and Relativity (1950). Albert Einstein received honorary decorate degrees in science, medicine, and philosophy from many European and American universities. During the 1920's lecture hi in Europe, he gained numerous awards in recognition if his work. He got awards including Copley Medal of the Royal Society of London in 1925, and the Franklin Medal of the Franklin Institute in 1935. |
