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.
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.
