1. He is best known in
popular culture for
his mass–energy
equivalence formula E =
mc2
Albert Einstein was a
German-born
theoretical
physicist and philosoph
er of science.
2. Albert Einstein was born at Ulm in
Württemberg, Germany, on March 14th 1879.
Albert's family later on moved to Munich,
where he began schooling at the Luitpold
Gymnasium.
They then moved to Italy , where he continued
on learning at Aarau.
3. •in 1896 , Albert entered the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich
to be trained as a teacher in physics and mathematics
• In 1905 he obtained his doctor's degree.
•He met many students who would become loyal friends, such as
Marcel Grossmann
• He met his future wife, Mileva Maric, a fellow physics student from
Serbia.
•Einstein would recall that his years in Zurich were some of the
happiest of his life
• In January, 1902, the couple had a daughter, Lieserl, who either
died of sickness or was given up for adoption
4. Albert Einstein developed the special and general
theories of relativity. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize
for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric
effect.
Einstein is generally considered the most influential
physicist of the 20th century.
Einstein made giant forward strides to initiate a
revolution in human understanding of light, the atom,
time, space, motion, and matter.
In 1905, Albert Einstein published some important
papers in a German scientific magazine.
5. • He was a poor student, and some of his
teachers thought he might be retarded
(mentally handicapped); he was unable to
speak fluently (with ease and grace) at age
nine.
• He began playing the violin at age six and
would continue to play throughout his life.
6. Einstein's work led to important advances such as the
control of atomic energy, space exploration, and
applications of light.
The special theory of relativity. Einstein explained
that time and motion are relative to their observers, the
speed of light remains constant and natural laws are
the same throughout the universe.
