Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist and one of the most important scientists of the 20th century. He was born into a Jewish family in Ulm on 14 March 1879. As a child, he was very interested in mathematics and physics and developed a talent for abstract thinking.

After studying at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Einstein worked as a patent examiner in Bern, where he published four groundbreaking scientific papers in 1905, now known as the "annus mirabilis" (year of miracles). In these papers he formulated special relativity, quantum theory and Brownian motion, laying the foundations for modern physics.

In 1915, Einstein published his general theory of relativity, which described gravity as a curvature of space-time. This theory was one of the greatest scientific discoveries of the 20th century, influencing not only physics but also other fields such as philosophy and literature.

Einstein was a committed pacifist who spoke out publicly against the First World War and later against the development of the atomic bomb. In 1933 he had to leave Germany because he was Jewish and the Nazis had come to power. He emigrated to the USA and later worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where he lived until his death in 1955.
Albert Einstein received many awards and honours for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect. He died on 18 April 1955, aged 76.
