Albert Einstein is considered the greatest physicist of twentieth
century. He was born in the German city Ulm on March 14, 1879. Einstein
belonged to prosperous Jewish family. His Father was a businessman, but not a successful
one. When he was six years old, his family moved to Munich.
He got early education from a Catholic seminary. Unpleasant environment
there was irritating to him. In 1894 Einstein’s father including family moved
to Italy for business reasons, leaving him behind in the boarding school. Soon
after this he also joined his family in Italy. In 1896 he Abandoned German
citizenship.
If we take out his name from the
history of scientific progresses, then the world would go centuries back. He
could not speak till 3 year of age. He was known as an incompetent student. Einstein
began to change after 1900. 1905 was considered the year of successes. This
year, he presented several thesis. The first thesis was the nature and
properties of light. The second was mathematical model of theory
of Brownian motion. The
third was the equivalence of mass and
energy. And fourth was the famous “special theory of relativity”.
He was the greatest scientist
world ever known. His contributions have been great progress for mankind.
