Albert Einstein was a renowned German-born physicist who developed the theory of relativity and helped usher in the modern era of physics. Some of his most important achievements include publishing over 300 scientific papers, receiving honorary doctorates from universities worldwide, and winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his services to theoretical physics and his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. He is regarded as one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century.

In the spring of 1895, he withdrew
to join his family in Pavia,
convincing the school to let him
go by using a doctor's note.
In 1896 he enrolled in the four
year mathematics and physics
teaching diploma program at the
Polytechnic in Zurich.

6. On 30 April 1905, he completed his thesis,
with Alfred Kleiner, Professor of
Experimental Physics, serving as pro-forma
advisor. Einstein was awarded a PhD by the
University of Zurich. His dissertation was
entitled "A New Determination of Molecular
Dimensions"

7. By 1908, he was recognized as a
leading scientist, and he was
appointed lecturer at the
University of Berne. In 1911, he had calculated that,
based on his new theory of
general relativity, light from
another star would be bent by the
Sun's gravity.
In 1921, Einstein
was awarded the
Nobel Prize in
Physics.

8. In 1922, he travelled
throughout Asia and
later to Palestine, as
part of a six-month
excursion and speaking
tour.
Einstein visited New York City
for the first time on 2 April 1921,
where he received an official
welcome by the Mayor,
followed by three weeks of
lectures and receptions.
