Fun Facts About Albert Einstein
Awards and Achievements
4. ALBERT EINSTEIN was born at Ulm, in Wurttemberg,
Germany on March 14th, 1879.
He began his schooling at a Catholic elementary
school in Munich, followed by the Luitpold
Gymnasium.
5. His most important works include
the famous “Special Theory Of Relativity”
(E=mc²)[1905],
General Theory Of Relativity [1916],
Investigation On Theory Of Brownian
Movement [1926] and
The Evolution Of Physics [1938].
6. Einstein’s most recognized contribution to
science was his 1905 theory of relativity.
In his paper ‘On the electrodynamics of
Moving bodies’, Einstein presented a new
model of movement at the speed of light.
His work on space – time movement gave
birth to the mass x acceleration formula, or
E=mc²

8. Albert Einstein did not work directly on
inventing the Atomic bomb, but his name is
closely associated with the bomb.
This is because his scientific discoveries
work in the bomb’s development,
scientifically his work on the energy and
mass and his famous equation, E=mc².

10. Albert Einstein was awarded Nobel prize for
his contribution to theoretical physics, in
particular for his discovery of photoelectric
effect.
In 1925, the Royal Society awarded Einstein
the Copley Medal.
11. In 1929, Max plank presented Einstein with
the Max Plank medal for his extraordinary
achievements in theoretical physics.
The United States postal service honored
Einstein with a prominent American series
postage stamp.
13. This great man passed away on 17th April,
1955, because of a ruptured aortic aneurysm.
His brain has been preserved for scientific
study.
His contributions to the world of physics and
mankind as a whole have been so brilliant and
without equal, that his name is now universally
synonymous with “genius”.
