ALBERT EINSTEIN

The German born physicist was born on the 14th of March, 1879 and he died on 18th of April, 1955. He develop the first of his ground breaking theories while working as a clerk in the Swiss patent office in Bern. After making his name with four scientific articles published in 1905, he went on to win world wide fame for his general theory of relativity and a Nobel prize in 1921 for his explanation of the phenomenon known as the PHOTOELECTRIC EFFECT.  An outspoken pacifist who was publicly identified with the Zionist movement, Einstein emigrated from Germany to the United State when the nazis took power before the world War II. He lived and worked in Princeton, New Jersey, for the rest of his life. Albert was born in the southern German city of ulm and he grew up in a middle class Jewish family in Munich. As a child, Einstein love music (he played the violin),  mathematics and science.

  He dropped out of school in 1894 and moved to Switzerland, where he resumed schooling and later gained admission to the Swiss federal polytechnic Institute in Zurich. In 1896,  he renounced his German citizenship and remained officially stateless before becoming a Swiss citizen in 1901.

While in Zurich polytechnic, he fell in love with his fellow student Mileva Maric but his parent opposed the match.  After finding a position as a clerk at the Swiss patent office in Bern, Einstein married Maric in 1903; he has two children Hans Albert (born 1904) and Edward Albert (born 1910).

In 1921, he won the Nobel prize for his work on the PHOTO ELECTRIC EFFECT,  as his work on RELATIVITY remained controversial at the time.

 In the late 1930's Einstein theories including his equation E=MC2, Helped for the basis of the development of the atomic bomb.

In 1952, Einstein declined an offer extended by David Ben-Gurion, Isreal's premier, to become president of Isreal.

 Though he published an article on the theory in scientific American in 1950, it remained unfinished when he died, of an aortic aneurysm, five years later.....

If Einstein can succeed, nothing is stopping you too except YOUR SELF.........
