3. Birth and Childhood
 Albert was born on March
14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany.
 Parents Hermann and
Pauline were non
observant Jews whose
family business consisted of
the manufacturing of
electrical parts.
The house where
Einstein was born.

4. Early Schooling
 Albert received good grades
but found his schooling
restricting as it depended on
memorization and obedience.
His real studies were done at
home while reading science
and math textbooks.
 He left his school in Munich
at age 15, to join his parents
who had moved to Italy.

1889. Einstein

5. “Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep balance
you must keep moving." - Einstein
 Albert graduated from the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology in 1900 as a
secondary math and physics teacher.
 He obtained his Ph.D. from University
of Zurich. He later became professor at
the Kaiser-Wilhelm Gesellschaft in
Berlin

6. Marriage
 After getting his Ph.D (1905)Albert married
one of his classmates named { Milena
maric }
 They had 3 children:
 1-Lieserl (girl)
 2-Hans (son)
 3-Edward(son)

7. Scientific Works
The 1905 papers:
Three seminal papers
researched and written by
Einstein.
 The first concerning
electromagnetic energy
 The second proposing the
special theory of relativity
 The third concerning
statistical mechanics

8. Scientific Works
E=mc²
 This equation
expresses the deep
connection between
energy and mass.
 E represents energy, m
represents mass, and
c² is a very large
number, the square of
the speed of light.

9. Marrying again
 At around (1919) he divorced his wife
(milena) and married his own cousin the
same year (Elsa)

10. Becoming famous
• When British eclipse expeditions
in 1919 confirmed his predictions
about the general theory of
relativity, Einstein was
bombarded by the popular press.
• Einstein became the world's
symbol of pure genius, and of the
new physics.
• Einstein was awarded the Nobel
Prize for physics in 1921.
“stay away
from negative
people, they
have a problem
for every
solution."
- Einstein

11. WWII and Einstein’s Concerns
 With the rise of fascism in Germany, Einstein
moved, in 1933 to the United States,
abandoning his pacifistic views he held during
WWI.
 Einstein wrote a letter to FDR in 1939 that urged
the U.S. to develop an atomic bomb before
Germany did. This letter contributed to
Roosevelt’s decision to fund the Manhattan
Project.

12. The Nuclear Age
o In May 1946, Einstein
became chairman of the
new Emergency
Committee of Atomic
Scientists, which strove
for international control of
nuclear energy.
o In 1952 Einstein was
offered the position of
President of Israel, but
turned down the
opportunity. His interest
in public affairs, however,
continued.

13. “Logic will take you from point A to point B but
Imagination will take you everywhere .”
Einstein died in the spring of 1955 from heart failure,
six years after his wife. However, his
accomplishments in the field of physics are still
remembered and taught today.
